Default Fastest graphic card for Windows workstation use (2D, not gaming)

* Luca Villa:
Benjamin and others,
so do we all agree that the "2D workstation acceleration cards are
designed exclusively for the financial and corporate marketplaces"
that ATI is marketing for $400 give nothing more than common sub $30
cards (or a couple of them to drive 4 screens) for general/mixed
Windows use?


Yes. The only difference is that these professional 2D cards (Quadro
NVS/FireMV) are certified for certain professional 2D applications and
that these cards unlike consumer cards (Geforce/Radeon) support big
multihead installations (quad head and more).

They don't offer a better performance.
