My motto for video cards is "if it says ATI AMD on the outside it's crap on the inside". I don't care how fast a card is, if the drivers suck, the card is going to suck. ATI drivers have always sucked (first one I bought was about 20 years ago (it was also the last one I bought)) and it hasn't changed since AMD took over. I've had friends buy the cards because of the benchmarks and they have always had problems, and just recently I had to fix my niece's laptop because the latest AMD update made her 3d games unplayable (built her a computer with an NVIDIA card for Christmas so I would never have to deal with it again). I honestly have never known anyone who had an ATI card that was happy with it.

".AMD FireProT W-Series is fully tested, certified & optimised for MAXON Cinema 4D." I don't buy that anymore. 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). They should have stated ".viewport glitches and selection hangs have been reduced somewhat..." :) From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Leoung O'Young Sent: Thursday, April 18, 2013 16:21 To: xsi Subject: AMD & MAXON Cinema 4D. Interesting development between Maxon and AMD Maxon is busy setting up partnerships, Adobe, and now AMD Now if only Autodesk will start doing some of this with Softimage, I will be a happy man http://www.animationxpress.com/images/AMD_FirePropacks_more_speed.html AMD FireProT W-Series packs more speed, power and performance to fuel stunning, cutting-edge 3D animations in MAXON Cinema 4D.
