I use the ATI card. The great speed bonuses that it's supposed to give only come through on two types of systems: – Those with *less than* 16MB of RAM (so forget most 3DStudio systems) or – Those with local bus video, which I don't have so I can't comment on If you don't have one or the other of the above mentioned systems, it's really not that fast a card. The other problem I've had with it have been driver conflicts. Excluding memory areas has become a hobby with me<g>. As for the Viper, I know not.
