Sorry, but the Warp Engine is indeed an average of 3 times faster than
the stock 4000/040. I've tested both the now defunct GVP 040 and the Warp
Engine 040, and found them to be virtually identical in terms of speed in
our A4000, using 4 different scenes from Lightwave. After all, they are
the same chip, clocked at the same speed, and have the local ram on the
card. But there's no speed difference between them at all. We were GVP's
biggest dealer in our region, so you could say we were definite GVP fans.
Doesn't make much difference now that GVP has also gone to auction heaven...
