What Radeon is the equivalent if the FireGL V3400 ??

The FireGL cards are basically the same hardware as the Radeons, but with a
few little hardware differences possibly and they are unlocked for the extra
abilities that the FireGL drivers provide.

So what is the equivalent Radeon to the FireGL V3400?

Thanks, but I have found it is more like the Radeon X1600 XT. In fact, they
even look the same, but the FireGL is twice the price.

Oops, I meant Radeon X1600 PRO.

Then you found something wrong. The FireGL V3400 is definitely basically
a X1300 and not a X1600...

So you are saying that the FireGL V3400 has RV515 GPU and not a RV530 ?

This is what the chart here:
http://www.techarp.com/showarticle.aspx?artno=88 says that the X1300 and
X1600 have compared to the data here:
http://www.ati.com/products/workstation/fireglmatrix.html for the V3400


X1300 X1600
FireGL V3400

Processor RV515 RV530
?
Vertex Pipelines 2 5
5
Pixel Shader Engines 4 12
12


What you say also conflicts with what is said on this page:
http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/video/display/quadrofx-vs-firegl_5.html

I'm new to all this (as I have just bought Matrox cards until now, but there
is no PCIe Parhelia, and it's getting a bit old anyway) but it looks to me
like the V3400 has a RV530 processor. like the X1600.

Anyway, I just found a good deal on a V5200, which I think also has a RV530
processor, apparently.

I have to correct myself, the V3_4_00 is indeed based on a Radeon X1600
(the V3_2_00 is based on the X1300). I had a look at a V3400 at work and
did some tests, the V3400 is in most tests a bit slower than a Radeon
X1600...

Sorry for the confusion...
