1.5GB QuadroFX 4800 workstation graphics card by NVIDIA
NVIDIA’s Quadro FX 4800 might not be nearly the beast that the 5800 is, but it’ll only run you an arm and three-quarters of a leg versus every limb you’ve got.
The GPU gurus over at HotHardware were able to grab hold of the 1.5GB monster, complete with a GT200 graphics processor and a sticker price around half of that shown on the aforesaid 5800 ($3,499). The board features a 602MHz GPU clock speed, 192 stream processors, an 800MHz GDDR3 clock speed, 384-bit memory controller and a PCI Express 2.0 x16 connector. So, how does the $1,999 workhorse stack up? Hit the read link for the full report, but the gist of it is this: it’s a stellar piece, but ATI’s FirePro V8700 was found to provide “similar performance (and in some cases, more) with a roughly 25% lower price.” Choices, choices
