Nvidia Cards
Hi,
I just read a post a little ways down that graphic cards but I figure I’ll just ask my question anyway to get some more insight and maybe help some other prople out at the same time.I desperatley need to upgrade my graphics card for my dell 24 inch display. At the same time I would like to get a graphics card that will work well with after effects. I researched at adobe.com and basicaly found a list of cards that were support not a list order of preformance. I am tryig to find out if its better to buy a quadro vs geforce and is more memory on the card a factor… Ex is it better to go with a geforce with more memory or spend a little more and get a quadro with less? Has anyone tested both kinds of cards? What kinds of results is everyone finding in their motion graphics and visual effect productions?
I also figure we will al know a little more once cs3 comes out but in the mean time feel free to share what you have been finding.
Thanks,
Tom -

I never use OpenGL in AE… Despite the fact that AE says all of the OpenGL features are ‘supported’ on my graphics card (OpenGL 2.0 I guess), the OpenGL previews never look like they should. I just turn OpenGL off and forget about it, I like to see what I’m actually going to see when I render!
If you’re like me and don’t like using OpenGL, then a better graphics card (no matter how beefy) will not give you a performance boost in After Effects. If you do like using OpenGL in AE… then god help you =)
That said I haven’t used CS3 much, so I don’t know if OpenGL support is improved.
