But will it blend?
 
no the black is making it stand out way too much...
 
Just wondering -- wasn't the fastest card you could get on the new Mac Pro's the HD 4850? Not that that's a bad card or anything, but a computer sold as a "workstation" should've came with something more powerful to begin with...

4870, I believe.

And what GPU does this Quadro have?
 
That memory bandwidth is shameful, my HD3870 has 72GB/sec and its OOOOOOOOLD.

BTW - Shouldn't it be 'Twin Dual Link DVI' ?
 
Oh wait, just spotted it...

But still on the same intelligence level either way. Nothing like sinking to their level. No matter how you look at it, anti Mac and anti PC comments are all FAIL.
