Depending on how serious you are about real time shading you might want to
check out the new Evans & Sutherland Freedom Graphics board. It is PCI based,
fully OpenGL compatible, cranking out 300,000 fully shaded triangles per second
running under NT. At around $2,500 I haven't heard of anything that can touch
it.
That said, we do not yet have one and I do not know what compatibility issues
currently exist. E&S claim full compatibility with Pentium, MIPS and Power PC
systems through NT. If 3DS r5 does go OpenGL, then this could be the hot set
up. Their simulators have awesome displays. Certainly worth checking out.
