I use both the Hercules Graphite, and the Matrox MGA Impression (top of the line MGA). The Matrox cards will be supported by the next Vibrant update, so I would bet on that card as the best. I'm unfamiliar with the details of HiResQFX. Is it a windows app? If so you won't find a faster card than the MGA series, which are all 64 bit accelerators. If it's a dos app, the MGA II series are less expensive than the MGA Ultima and Impression, but have a faster VGA chipset. They do not, however, support hardware assisted 3D rendering and real-time viewing in AutoCad. I bought the Herc because my MGA was not supported directly in 3DSr3 (the vesa mode was, but the MGA Impression's VGA chipset is too slow to be usefull), and I do like it. It is not as fast as the MGA, though. John Tissavary (La Luna cie)
