You might want to ask the guys/gals at Eovia about the OGL card issue. Performance of consumer vs pro OGL cards is VERY dependent on the OGL implementation (focus) of the individual application.

An interesting factoid: Consumer (Gaming) cards almost always beat the performance of Pro OGL cards under "gaming" conditions, but the consumer cards don't even come close on performance in some "Pro" specific OGL functions.

So, armed with the above knowledge, the following inferences can be made. If a 3d application is looking to run on a consumer card, then it will be written to optimise OGL performance on that type of card (my guess is that OGL in Poser is optimised for consumer cards). If the developer is looking for high end OGL performance, then performance on a consumer card may not be that good, but the pro cards will have excellent performance. The big question here, what is Eovia focusing on in their OGL development since they are definitely trying to bridge the gap between "mid and high end" 3D. The best people to answer this would be those implementing OGL at Eovia.
