All three will work fine with Q2, but unless you have an uncontrollable need to get on right away, I'd wait until Q2 is release and do my 3d Hardware shopping then. There is supposed to be a few more cards released by then and there the ones that are out now , I'm sure will decrease in price. So hold onto your cash for now...and don't you dare even load Q2 on your machine until you have a card, it would be blasphemy. Hope this helps.

Orchid Righteous and Monster3d have a solid reputation and are basically identical in performance, the main difference being the software bundled w/ them

The issues around the Stingray seem to be about the Voodoo Rush chipset that it has. The other VRush cards are not supposed to have this problem. >Orchid Righteous and Monster3d have a solid reputation and are basically >identical in performance, the main difference being the software bundled >w/ them Most reviews have shown that the Monster is everso slightly faster ( 1 or 2 fps at around 60 fps range ). I have however heard from someone in the groups that Orchid is dropping the Righteous (no more new drivers). However, it's only a rumor, I haven't seen any proof of this yet. Mark

The Righteouds 3Dand Orchid 3D *are* the same cared literaly, since there is no Orchid 3D card, that's the name of the company that makes the Righteous 3D. www.orchid.com.
