Hi, I have been learning Maya for the past few months and have come across times when it slows down when I have lots of polygons or a high res subdivision model on the screen. I upgraded my video card to the 8800gtx both for gaming and hoping to see an improvement with Maya, but it still happens. I was wondering if there are some cards that are more geared towards 3d modeling applications than what I have now. I had assumed that my new card would be able to do the modeling with no problems but I'm wondering if there is something else that would work better. I previously had two xt1600 cards in crossfire mode that did the same thing. :doh: Thank you!
Yes there are cards which are specifically made for rendering, they are the nVidia Quaddro FX range and the ATI FireGL range.
