whats the card with the best image quality i can buy for under $700? ( not ATI or nvidia)
 
something in the Matrox line maybe, but don't expect to be having the best gaming experience

you didn't specify if you needed gaming ability or not, of which ATI and NVIDIA would provide the best of
 
why does this post just seem stuipd?

If you want the best image quality why do you limit yourself by not allowing the two largest video chip companies?

Also, if you don't like Nvidia why is yoru name Nvidia91?
 
well there are cards out there with better 2D quality, for high-end situations where fast RAMDACS and the like are needed with top rate filters, there is a market outside of 3D acceleration
 
I don't think he ever said he disliked Nvidia. And yes, there is a market for extremely high end cards for graphics design etc. that are not made by Nvidia or ATi.
 
The Matrox Parhelia is very good, image quality-wise...
Supports 30 bit colour, has advanced AA, up to 16x... downside is that its shaders are extremely limited (vs2.0 and ps1.3), so in 3d its shading won't be of very high quality.

I don't know why you want to exclude ATi though... Their image quality is also excellent. Their AA is very good, and they do have decent shaders.
In fact, a friend of mine owns a photography studio, and they use ATi cards in all their image processing systems (mostly Macs). She says that Kodak recommends ATi.
