Earlier this week we previewed the Quadro FX1700, which is one
of NVIDIA's mid-range workstation graphics cards that is based upon the
G84GL core that in turn is derived from the consumer-class GeForce 8600
series. This PCI Express graphics card offers 512MB of video memory with
two dual-link DVI connections and support for OpenGL 2.1 while
maintaining a maximum power consumption of just 42 Watts. As we
mentioned in the preview article, we would be looking at this graphics
card's performance not only under Linux but also testing this

FX1700 512MB with each of these operating systems and their respective
binary display drivers.
