Commenting on: SolidWorks 2009 running on a FirePro v3750 vs Radeon 4850

I have a video capture from the SolidWorks World 2009 conference last week that compares a top-of-the line Radeon consumer card (on the left), vs the low-end FirePro 3750 professional (on the right) on SolidWorks 2009 performance.  As you can see in the video, the FirePro leaves the Radeon in the dust. Obviously, its the drivers support for OpenGL (specifically VBOs) and their SolidWorks 2009-specific optimizations that give the FirePro card the impressive edge.

With both at the same $200 price, and since I am not a gamer, the FirePro seems the obvious choice.
