Not sure pixels shaders V3.0 (or is it V2.0?) will help much in CAD. As Mike says, hope it will drive other prices down. Right now, it's more like a 600Eu game card around here.

While on the subject I'm looking for a card for my home pc, 2 cards come in my budget Quadro4 580 XGL and Quadro FX 500

Can anyone shine a light on which gives best performance, also any idea when Geforce 6 will hit the shelves - it may be worth the wait to get better bang for my buck.

TIA

Due in Europe in May (end?), besides the price of the card, get a good power supply (450W), the new monster itself needs 100W.

Turn the heat off, or buy a new A/C.

hi kev

miss spyfishing ?

On the cards depends if you got 4x or 8x AGP the fx cards need 8x to make the most of their 'guts'.

Me i'm .... 4x but no complaints with 700gxl (very low £££ on ebay etc.)
