Best Graphics Card
-
Hello,
We're doing some significant size modelling. We know some of the work arounds, but still are looking for better performance from our graphics card. We're currently using an nvideo 512 mb card. SketchUp was not able to make a recommendation. Can anyone recommend the best manufacturer and size card? Thanks, Dave Wood -
Dave, what computer do you have (specs)? and what size monitor/monitors do you use?
What else do you use your computer for besides Sketchup?

Sorry to be a pessimist, but if you have a reasonably modern Nvidia graphics card (as you seem to, if it has 512 Mb of memory) I would guess that getting a new one will not create a jump in SU performance. When you make big models, the first thing that gets overworked is your CPU - SU is very CPU-intensive, and as it is single-threaded, adding more processor cores will not help either.
