Having just installed a Diamond Monster Fusion card, I can only say that once Xig stabilise the drivers it's going to be pretty scary. Not much of a benchmark, but I get over 10,000 rpm out of xengine on this card. Not bad for $99.o The G200 is a smarter bet if stability matters though; the Xig driver for the Banshee has wedged and rebooted my system several times so far this week. > On Fri, May 14, 1999 at 06:39:29PM -0700, Ping Mai wrote: > > > > Can someone recommend a good video card that works well in > > XFree86 and WinNT?
