      Supports resolutions of up to 1920 x 1200 with 30-bit color, which results in what is likely the best color fidelity in the workstation industry.
      Eaven a gefart can do that!

          No, I don't think it can. This appears to be 10-bit R/G/B, so you don't get visual artifacts.

          Of course, a $3400, 1.4lb, 70W video card is kind of outlandish.

              www.aceshardware.com seems to have more info than Sun's site.
