Hi,there
Nvidia SLI and ATI Cross fire,which one can get better performance in render mode?
Or some high-end graphics card for workstation, like Nvidia Quadro FX 4600/5600 serial,ATI Fire GL V7350 etc. Is it better than SLI or Cross fire?
Sorry for my poor english,and wish can see some suggestion.'
Thanks a lot!

From what I understand nvidia cards handle openGL in ArchiCAD alot better then ATI cards. Personally I do not like ATI cards, had one once and with the problems I had would never go back.
Also I believe there is not much differance performance wise between a workstation gfx card and a high end gaming card for 3D in ArchiCAD except you pay more for a the quadro.

Thanks for your sharing.
In the cost issues,I think it's a good way to try some high-end gaming card.In my country,ONE Quadro FX4600 card was cost almost reach NTD120,000,and TWO GeForce 8800GTX Ultra card cost NTD$60,000.
Everything need money~@@
