    Hi, I have an i7 new computer (intel core i7) with a rampage ll extreme motherboard.

    Its supposed to be a real fast machine. What video card is best to speed up Invigorator rendering so I can get most out of this computer.

    Regards,

    Adeeb Oberoi

    Hi Adeeb,

    I don’t do too much research into video cards, so I won’t be able to give you great feedback regarding which video card works best with your existing motherboard. Hopefully another user with a similar setup will be able to provide feedback on this matter!

    Best,
    Edward

    Hi Adeeb.

    We don’t require a particularly powerful GPU, so any modern graphics card should suit you well.

    If you want to work with a lot with textures, make sure you get as much VRAM as you can (256 is good, 512 is better).

    If you want to work with complex geometry, pay a little more to get a faster graphics card.

    Let us know if you have any other questions.
