P.S. I didn't mean suitable as a subjective term. I meant it in
the objective sense of whether you could meet resolution and frame
rate requirements, but I assumed those were typical of vis sim
applications.

Ultimately you could very likely use multiple graphics pipes do drive
a sufficient frame rate for your application. But there are unanswered
questions.

Cheers,Angus.
