I have a Radeon 9700 Pro right now with the latest drivers and I'm quite happy. Maya runs very well in terms of stability and I haven't found a single bug yet.
What I'd like to discuss is how fast both cards are in Maya. I ran the 3D test from www.maya-testcenter.de/3doperinstr.html
and I got some pretty good results I think, but I have no clue how well the Ti 4600 or the fireGL 8800 would do in the same test.
Can somebody who has one or both of these cards take the test and type the results in this thread.
Radeon 9700 pro: 38.5/21.2/15.1/11.6/11.9
Also if anybody has something to say about it (Good or bad experiences), I'll be glad to hear it.
Thanks
Dave
