To be honest even on a Nvidia quadro 4000 soft is still no where near where it should be for a professional graphics card. Although Its the same with all of ADSK stable. The Quadro drivers just dont seem to be providing nearly the 3d Ommmph over a similar specced gaming card. Its like Both NVIDIA and ADSK just dont take that relationship at all seriously.
We have the fire gl pros on our Dell t1500 lab computers with the latest drivers and they get stomped into the ground by the generic drivers ati drivers on the iMac in the interactive lab (this is for Maya though. Both iMacs and Dells bought at the same time). Its a disgrace. Yes you buy a professional graphics card so that it remains rock solid during production, you don't however ask it to zoomed by performance wise ;( Next year when it the turn for the 3D Lab to be upgraded sure as hell wont waste money on a production spec card. ________________________________ From: Sven Constable [[email protected]] Sent: 18 April 2013 08:19 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: AMD & MAXON Cinema 4D.

I bought a FirePro couple years ago (actually it was its predecessor named FireGL), just because AMD claimed the same for Softimage (fully certified, yeah right).
