My main use for this graphic card is blender and as many know, all the interface is written in OpenGL, so any graphic card without 3D is useless for me. I don't think the new generation of integrated Gpu/Cpu works for professional graphic applications. I think Ati and Nvidia will have at least their pro customers in future for their high end graphic cards. -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
