What makes you think the graphics card will affect the rendering?

Also, the current GeForceFX isn't exactly all it is on paper. Many major functions still simply don't work. So, that means you need an ATi to get real shader performance. Problem is, current ATi products suck arse at pro 3d work.

So, basically, there really aren't any products out right now that are just good in general.

such as sometimes it decides not to work with one monitor, sometimes it overrides the monitors max refresh rate, the options for setting where dialog boxes and windows pop up hardly ever seems to work right, I could go on...

Luckily, we have not seen any of this with a large number of dual monitor systems.

You should submit a bug.
