I don't do a whole lot of intense gaming ...

Now, on the product page, the most recent review ...

  • Best 3d Creation Video Card for Linux?

    There are countless articles about gamer video cards but much less about content creation cards. And for Linux artists and 3D folks using Open Source Blender, GIMP, Inkscapes and the like, even less.  Plus, what about strategies like using THREE $50 1 GB SLI cards instead of one $150 (or more) Quadro or FireGL?  There are many ...
