Now THIS is a video card

I was cruising around newegg and came across this card.
It is an ATI FIRE GL4 128MB DDR AGP. Look how it needs it's neighbor's back yard b/c its so big. The thing supports two digital monitors! Two fans, and a big copper heatsink. Click to the next pic and check out how the HSF is a blower aimed right out the vent holes in the backplate. Cool stuff. At $1,699.00, you can't afford NOT to get it!

Those are workstation cards. They do more than just put pictures on the screen like a gamer card does, that's why they're so pricey. When it comes to games I don't think they would be drastically faster than a Ti 4600.

Those aren't meant for games though and they don't perform that well. They are meant for high poly 3D rendering. (Although I'm not saying that I don't want one

)

Thats the first time I've seen a GPU heatsink with a Nidec Blower on the top sucking air out.....I wonder how well that cools off the gpu

What kind of AGP slot does that card require?

You mean your lights don't dim when you turn on your system?
Mine do.

No, my lights only flicker for a short time when I turn on the XP. I have never seen them dim except in my woodworking shop, and I can't get 3 phase power here!

My Gainward Ti4600 supports two DVI monitors
