Education isn’t costly, ignorance is.
I’m always amazed at the number of people I train on Motion who were not advised to upgrade the card, even when buying from a Video reseller.
I upgraded my dual G5 from the 9800 Pro to an x800 and it made a world of difference in Motion’s framerates. You can still bring it to its knees but not as easily.
Something else that will kill your performance is previewing float color space when working in 16- or 32-bit float color.
