OpenGL cards and multiple windows / WinNT

[Nigel Nunn]

For full-screen Vtk/OpenGL work, the cards based on Nvidia's TNT2/GeForce 
appear to offer great performance.  However, many of us work with multiple 
OpenGL windows mixed with a 2D GUI.

I have not yet heard much feedback about the quality of the Nvidia cards 
when driving a number of small OpenGL windows on WinNT, switching between 
wireframe, and shaded/no textures (e.g. typical engineering usage).

Those using 3DLabs' VX1 seem to be a happy bunch, especially if they have
a second CPU to make use of the (non-beta) multi-threaded drivers.

Now that the drivers for the TNT2/VX1 cards have matured, can anyone offer 
a comparison?  Will the GeForce/Quadra cards leave all else in their wake?

Thanks,
Nigel Nunn
