No rating yet Subject: graphics cards Author: Mark Rodamaker Date: 2000-10-19 09:51:00Today we installed a 3Dlabs Oxygen vx1-1600SW graphics card in my Dell 610 . Card cost $449 and is replacing the original card from number 9. Graphics performance running Ansys 5.6.2 seems excellent. The original card I rate as averge. I usually use 3d rotations and zooming to guage graphics performance. Other graphics functions can be held up by calcuations of what to display so the actual display speed is not so evident. If I do a zoom, the replot on the new card is just about instantaneous. This card only drives the SGI flat panel display but does that very well. There is a similar card - the Oxygen VX1 that will drive a standard display and they have even faster cards but not for the flat panel.
