OK, so my gf4 4200 blew up yesterday and i am not too happy 'bout it. Anywho, my brother is planing on getting a new card soon and consequently will be giving me his gf4 4600

Anywho, basically he does a lot of 3d modelling and graphics application stuff and i was after a good recommendation for a card suited to that side of things, as opposed to more gaming related stuff (if there's too much of a difference between the 2 anyway?)

i only really know the site tomshardware and looked at their reviews for thiings
here but it's quite hard to determine out of all those cards. I haven't really been looking at this sorta stuff recently either, so i am a bit out of the loop in terms of whose in front, what's better generally and more reliable...and so on.

i guess anything between 200 -> 400 US dollars. ( note i made an approximate adjustment for american dollars

)

Thanks for any help

edit: also, does anyone know much about the opengl basedf workstation cards, like the quadro or firegl cards?
