Even with the problems with test # 6, the GLoria II Quadro SDR had the best overall composite scores, with the 3.65 driver having a somewhat higher value than for the ELSA driver configuration. When the problem with clipping is fixed the GLoria II should score in the mid 4’s on the overall composite, which would be about 30% better than those for the 3Dlabs GVX1. The GLoria II appears to be the clear winner for this test.
How does the ELSA GLoria II card compare with the somewhat higher cost (more than 8K$) engineering workstations from HP, with the fx6+ graphics, and those that use the new Intergraph Wildcat 4110 graphics engine? Using some of the more basic test scores combined with data from the SPEC site we get the following:

Notice that this comparison is not exactly one to one, in that the workstations had faster Coppermine CPU’s. Even so, the GLoria II compares quite well with these more expensive systems.
