I'm purchasing my new system (d925xcv mobo) with PCIexpress, so i've decided for a ATI Radeon x800 xt PCIexpress x16 with 256mb, but then i saw the FireGL line. I am a 3D designer (Solidworks, 3DStudio, MAxon cinema 4D..) and eventually like to play some 3D games like half life, but mainly i worked with professional 3D/CAD softwares, so it is suppoused i have to get the FireGL models (professional series)....but really....upm to now....i'vent find the main difference between the x800 xt and the FireGL v7100 ...so coula someone tell me why should i have to spent 400usd more for the fireGL v7100 of 256mb instead of buying the 256mb x800 xt (both with PCIe)????????????
in addition....the only difference i've found is that the FireGL has more capability to work with 2 monitors...but i don't use more than one....so please......it is worth while i spent more money in the FireGL series V7100...maybe i should use the v5100 PCIe of 256mb?
My plans is to find something that has 256mb, PCIex and cost no more than 600usd
