Is the Quadro Really Necessary?
Last weekend I mentioned to Mark how Rob Morgan's Bare Feats review on Nvidia's Quadro FX card pretty much confirmed my conclusions on the consumer vs pro graphic card debate. The conclusion being is that well, you don't really have to shell out thousands more for a pro card for fast CGI interactivity.It was interesting to find out that you can enable true hardware rendering on the Mac using the consumer based 7800 GT card without the need for special 3rd-party drivers like one would have to on the PC.

Great blog Rob. It confirms our suspision that a high end "consumer" card can keep up with an ultra expensive "pro" card for most functions. Good to see you made the right choice with your NVIDIA 7800 GTX (unless you are lamenting the lack of accelerated clip planes!).
So when is the normal map blog going to be finished? You are getting distracted!
