"Sexy cannibals" DSG. I had a...cheesecake moment, I guess. Note how adroitly I hid the hands because I still can't draw them worth sheeeeet.

Craig,
For video cards, I would say an nVidia Geforce4 would do fine for everything all around... in general. Good, fast and optimized OpenGL and D3D support for Maya, Max, etc, as well as games. And 2D speeds for painting are hardly an issue anymore for any of the top card/chip makers like nVidia, ATi, Matrox, etc. The two things that you should be more concerned with are the color quality and the native multi-monitor support. nVidia drivers are usually of greater quality, more robust, and speedier than ATi... so that's a big plus for nVidia again.
For color quality, I suggest you go with an nVidia board, and not some 3rd party board manufacturer that might use cheaper RAMDAC circuitry, causing colors to be faded, bleeding, etc. Unfortunately, I don't have any specific lists of brands or cards that are best at this.
Multi-monitor support is another issue... you DO want your video card to support multi-monitor on a single board natively, most higher-gamut cards from nVidia do this, but I am not too certain how well they do at it, and how flexible the multi-monitor configuration is. You want your AGP video card to supply both monitors as the multi-monitor graphics updating will only be as fast as the slowest of the two display adapters, in which case would be the PCI bus running at 66MHz iirc. I know Matrox has always excelled in a VERY big way in this field, but I simply cannot recommend one of their cards.
If you can get a geForce4 with 256MB of memory, that would be great -- more RAM equals faster high-res meshes, more higher-res textures, etc.
I hope this helps.
Sorry about the crude pic up there -- that she-demon Halle made me do it. |

Apparantly ATI's Radeon and Nvidia's FX line of cards have floating point color .....hardware things, making them better candidates for precise color reproduction.
And the GeForce 4200 and all cards after that have excellent dual monitor possibilities. I have a 4200, and the software is relatively easy and very flexible.
Never buy the newest, never buy the oldest...that's a golden rule for you guys, hehe.

i've been playing too much risk2 lately...
strategy skill goes up, drawing skill is way down.
dedicated to novacap and elliot
elliot,stereo, jibe, fluo, sparth, vyle, janne > great pics !
wassup > your last post is great. where's your website ?
spooge > i use a GeForce4200 128Mo with a dualscreen setup. you can either use the hardware dualscreen (same resolution on both screens, the screen resolution is then displayed as 3200x1280 if your want a 1600x1280 on each screen) or use the dual software output of the driver (kind of software emulation that simulates a second graphic card), this enables different resolution on each screen. in either case, the display is then slower in dual screen mode than in a single monitor config. 128Mo is not enough, you have to get a 256Mo min. but there's a drawback, the memory they use on the Geforce 4 Ti4200 256Mo is actually slower than the 128 version.
so my advice, get a 4400 or higher, since dual monitor involves more "power" needs.

Sorry to keep on with the chatting and not with the image posting... but I wanted to make sure that what's said above was not misinterpreted or taken as fact; floating-point color has no relevance to the color quality you'll have in photoshop or in any other 2D application, as it only affects D3D and OpenGL programs that use the specific video modes and extensions dedicated to real-time 3D in that configuration.
HPX: You're right... >128MB is definitely the way to go, as is your comment on the Memory speeds. |

About that video card... Why is everyone talking about the Geforce 4 Ti-series? Isn�t that the previous generation video cards? There is more powerful cards around that�s not too expensive, like the Radeon 9700 Pro. And if you�re serious about gaming and so forth the Radeon 9800 Pro or the Nvidia Geforce FX 5900 Ultra is the way to go.
My 2 cents...

IDMAN made me do it. See Steve, it's still 1987 to me car design wise:)
Geek gets the fairy and the car, the way I like it. got a neckache working on this.
thanks for all the info about VCards. I am going to build my own PC and put my mac a piece at a time into the chipper
