<p>If you go to Autodesks website and look at the listing of certified video cards for the current software you will be surprised what is supported and what is not.</p>
<p>It doesn't take a big expensive open GL cards to get good performance any longer.</p>
<p>I got a big Quattro card a few years ago that was a top end card ($1,200.00 US) and it isn't even supported any longer. It does seem to work but is not supported by Autodesk.</p>

<p>I'm sure you all have seen the current advertisements for computer systems and video cards. Everyone pushes toward gaming systems. It seems that no one uses computers for anything else, or so we are lead to believe. I don't remember the last time I saw an advertisement for systems pushing Cad requirements other then Boxx or XiComputers and some other specialty systems, I'm sure. It's tough for me to decide on video card upgrades. Processors are easy, as Roy has noted -- high processor…</p>

I don't remember the last time I saw an advertisement for systems pushing Cad requirements other then Boxx or XiComputers and some other specialty systems, I'm sure. It's tough for me to decide on video card upgrades. Processors are easy, as Roy has noted -- high processor speed and many cores -- more or less.</p>

<p>I would agree, I have used NXT on both AMD & Intel machines the difference has much more to do with number of cores and the clock speed. I would encourage you to get 8mb or more ram. If you are doing large models it will help with regen time in AutoCAD while building as will a better video card.

<p>In my models with over 1.000.000 faces, the RAM used increases to 1,24 gb. but the dual processor is ever at 100%... I think that a bigger quantity of RAM and a better processor may help, but I must to change the OS too.</p>

<p>4GB RAM might not be enough. In our office we hve both 32bit computers w. 4GB and 64bit ones w. 8GB - it is not possible to render too complex models on 4GB ones</p>
