What card to get for extreme speed
What’s the best/fastest card with lots of ram. I’m working with high definition models of a city. I’m new at this. Are there other types of vidoe cards, excelerators, etc. I could ad to my G5 dual 2.3 (2.5gig of ram) to make it screem.
Thanks,

Are you trying to speed up render time? Or editor refresh rate? If your trying to speed rendering up, your graphics card won’t do much what you need is a fast processor and LOTS of ram. For editor refresh rates, Nvidia is really good or ATI, which one will depend on personal preference. I would recomend the Nvida Quadro, over the Geforce, since the Geforce is more oriented towards games. The problem is I don’t think you can get the Quadro for mac. You could try ATI and see if any of there work station graphics cards will work with a mac. Otherwise just use the Radeon X800 or Nvidia 6800 DDL both will work just fine.
Best of luck,

To be honest with you, I’m using Zaxwerks inside of After FX to render 3d models. Any speed would help. Thanks for your response.

Faster processor is all that would help in that case.
