I know nothing about the 88 or 8600 cards. I have an nVidia GeForce 6800
GS
card that works pretty well for Pro/e. It's kind of jumpy on shaded models
but the other view modes work very smoothly. With 500M of memory, it
doesn't
slow down with multiple models open. I hear it could be "soft quadroed" to
a
Quadro FX 4600, but I haven't tried that. As with most GeForce cards, your
86 & 8800 cards will probably suffer from partially activated OpenGL
features which the Quadro FX GPUs have fully enabled. At the same time, I
know of no head to head tests of the GeForce cards and their comparable
Quado FX. Their is a very strong feeling in Pro/e circles that, for
professional results, you need the Quadro cards just as you need a
workstation, not just any old Windows PC (gaming "screamer" or not).
