Well it will, but the card isn't designed to play 3DGames. Its designed so that you can map and sculpt massive 3D environments or polygon heavy images (such as that Korean actress done by that dude that was friggen the best CG thing ever). So the card has more RAM, and more cores so that it can do all that creation processing without slowing down/ Where as if you tried to do some of the really high end stuff on say even 8800GTXs in SLi you will still get bogged down graphically.

Yay workstation graphics.

I'll wait for the 256-core successor. I hear it comes with a complementary Nvidia-branded wheelbarrow to help you get the card home from the store.

It is my opinion that there is no home machine available for easy purchase that can run FS10. Microsoft put FS10 out there so pc shops could sell more upscale video cards, more 1024Mb RAM sticks, the Vista OS and bigger power supplies. I have an email in to Lawrence-Livermore Labs asking for time on their Cray M-6. I am hoping FS10 isn't too hard on the framerates when using that machine...
