You would think so, Operaguy, but guess what? That's not always the case!

For instance, in terms of gaming cards, my nVidia displays Doom 3 great, but isn't as good for HalfLife. While my friend's ATI is just the opposite!

Same is probably true for workstation graphics cards, like the Wildcat or Quadro. In fact, I recommended Poser to a guy a work, and he couldn't even get the application to open. It kept crashing when he launched it, and this was due to his video card. Workstation-level cards have hardware acceleration for things like multiple clipping planes, generally larger memory reserves, more pipelines and pixel shaders, more registers, and are optimized for larger amounts of data. I wouldn't be suprised if you couldn't even get Poser running if you used a Wildcat card.
