David Knourek Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 If you have the money the Quadro cards are suposed to be good with 3dsmax. Im personally running a 7800GTX on an AMD X2 4400 and love it but for some it is a little pricy. Although Im not sure how much of a difference in screen performance there would be between a 6800 Ultra and a 7800GTX in 3dsmax. If you google those 2 cards there is a wealth of info and benchmarks on them. -dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJLynn Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 The 7800GTX looks amazing as a gamer's card but most of the cool new features don't look very interesting for 3DSMax work and at that price you could get a Quadro card - a 7800GTX is about $500, and you can get a new Quadro 3400 for about $600 on Ebay, or a 1400 for maybe $300.
