3D OpenGL issues. Many people believe that Quake2 is OpenGL, and that Quake2 is a great OpenGL benchmark. The problem with this is that professionals who do 3D modelling in apps like 3D Studio Max and Lightwave will be gravely dissappointed if they choose a card by it's Quake2 performance. Gamers, on the other hand, will be greatly dissapointed if they buy a $2000 professional OpenGL accelerator thinking it will give them Voodoo2 SLI x 100 performance. The fact is that professional OpenGL accelerators and gaming accelerators are vastly different. The Permedia 2 is the best example. cpumadness.com cl
