And finally.. my NDA is less restricted, and this project has shipped. If the tech demo is well recieved, MoMII will no long be vaporware, and Stardock can kiss my ass. That's all I'm allowed to say. :p

HATE! HATE!! 😜

Oh GREAT you got a Wildcat Realizm! Can you tell me how that baby kills in modern games (HL2, Farcry, Doom3), maybe some benchmarks from 3DMark 2003&5 (and 2001 just for fun)? Also, what are the technical specs (aside from having 512MB of ram)? Memory speed, core clock, fillrate, memory bandwidth in GB/s, number of pixel and vertex pipelines, etc. I've been wondering about how well those things work in games, and about their specs, but I have not been able to find anything on them.

Well...I guess it wouldn't be a very accurate measurement of the video card given that the rest of that system...it kind of makes up for any deficiencies, if there are any. Still, I would love to know the indepth specs of that card. The data sheet on their website doesn't give the details I'm looking for.

Edit: I finally found good benchmarks on the performance of those 3DLabs cards in games.

Damn...I was really hoping that the Realizms would be good in gaming (yeah it's a workstation card...but eh), but it looks like they suck for HL2 and even for Doom 3. 🙁
