We actually see a slight performance difference between the FireGL V8600 and V8650 in 3D Studio Max, which leads us to believe that this particular benchmark is indeed using more than 1 GB of frame buffer memory during some sequences. For the most part, though, it performs between the V7600 and V8650 products, and overall, not particularly great compared to NVIDIA’s product line in this test.

The FireGL product lineup does remain strong in Maya 8.5, as again we see the V8600 card performing roughly at the same level as the more expensive V8650 card.
