Write a review for the ATI FireGL V7350 1GB GDDR3 PCI-Express Dual DVI here!
I am a games developer, not a qualified CAD operator.
We never use such cards in game development at any level as its important to have equipment which is relative to your customer base, fwiw I'm using a BFG GTX280/OC at the moment, previous card was a BFG 8800GTX/OC2, mated to a QX6700, we keep things real, there is no need for this kind of equipment unless you runnings huge display resolutions and working in CAD.

Erm.. a fully qualified CAD designer? CAD = Computer Aided Design..... so your a fully qualified Computer Aided Design Designer
LMAO

WRONG!
I am a qualified CAD Designer & Games Tester, and use this fantastic piece of kit for both areas without any problems what so ever. In fact such a graphics card is best for gaming as it has been created by ATI To write complex assemblies and high end 3D Animations.
Basically Game Developers use this to create new games!!!!
In sync with AVIVO Technology it provides enough horsepower for any of today’s complex games & demanding GUI Application such as Vista.
Would Love To Buy One!!!
This card is not designed for gaming. None of the cards above the GTX Ultra are (Nvidia Quadro, ATI FireGL). They are designed for processing complex textures and rendering AutoCAD, Maxsurf, Tribon, Rino etc. If you have this much money to spend on a card, at least research the card before you buy it. To Dabs. As a request, could you delete the other two reviews? They don't refer to the product as it was meant to be used.
What is funny, saying he is a CAD designer is infact standard. Check jobsites for job titles.
He is right, a game designer will be working with 3d programs such as 3D Studio MAX to create game graphics, so such a card is the best choice for creating and testing game graphics.
But to play fully released games on this, I would think a games card will give more power. Depends on the game graphics engine coding and what platform the game is designed to take advantage of.
I had better graphics from my Commordore 64.
The MegaDrive too.
My ZX Spectrum +3 owns this upstart graphics card.
