While NVIDIA released its Quadro FX 3000(G) of which PNY (www.pny.de) could send us a test sample just before the release of this review, ATI’s FireGL X2 and FireGL T2 took their time despite the fact that they were internally preannounced by ATI. Just one day before the official launch of the two cards the FireGL T2 reached us and one day later the FireGL X2 came with the needed certified ‘common driver’, which was also used to test the remaining ATI cards.
