Getting more for less is never a bad thing, especially in GPUs - Icrontic reviews ATI FirePro V8800

Icronic reviews the ATI FirePro V8800 and compares it to the FirePro V7800, V5800, V4800, and V3800 as well at the Quadro FX3800, using Cinebench R10, Cinebench R11, and SPECViewPerf 10.

General takeaways:

- ATI has upped the ante of real time OpenGL performance in their newest generation of workstation GPUs

- The lightning quick performance and superb feature set are more than enough to offset the pangs of heat production and power use, so long as you have enough space to house the card. The addition of Eyefinity Multi-Display alone makes the V8800 a perfect solution for artists who spend too much time alt+tabbing through work. I can guarantee if you get a chance to work with the FirePro V8800, you will not be disappointed in any way. This card is spectacular.
