You're not going to find much better results these days either....unles
you find the exact right card with the exact right driver with the exact
right phase of the moon.

Keep in mind that the SGI Max Impact machine does 900Megaflops of Hot &
Sweaty Geometric Transformation.  The whiz-bang 3D cards in the PC world
are just now starting to approach that via the standard method of
overclocking the piss out of chips and putting these godzilla heatsinks on
them

If you want true Chewy Goodness, find yourself a multiprocessor Onyx with
an RE2...
