I've seen the following, but not the card you mentioned:

I purchased an ATI FireGL v5600--still setting up the system, so not yet sure about performance.

  Hey Jeff,
  
  I've been curious about the new ATI cards. Their numbers look to be pretty good. Do you mind posting about the performance when you get time to evaluate?

    When I performed an evaluation between a mid range Ati card and Nvidia, i found the Nvidia card to be considerably faster - it does seem that the drivers are consistently better from Nvidia too, with much better stability.

      Simon,
      
      Which mid range cards? Hardware changes quite a bit from one generation of product to the next.

        Quadro FX3500.
        
        We now run quadro FX4600's having found the SW machine performance increased 5x over the mid range cards we tested, this was quantified by using SPEC swolidworks benchmarking software.

        Simon,
        
        Which gneration of mid range cards from ATI did you evaluate? The card Jeff is getting is a newer generation card and I would be interested in performance of those cards.
