I'll do the nVidia cards, but i dont know much about the ATI cards, so i'll leave those for someone else.

From Best to Worst (for SU):
Nvidia Quadro series

Nvidia 7000 series

Nvidia 8000/9000(dont know about the 9000, so im just guessing) series

Any other Nvidia cards

To expand a bit on that, its more to do with the quality of the drivers available for the cards than the cards thmeselves. Specifically the level of openGL support they provide. The quadro cards have the bes openGL support, and so they're the best cards to use with SU.

Ok thanks for your anser but isn`t it true that the 7000 series are the older series than the 8000 and 9000 series, so the 9000 series should be better than te 7000 series?

And the Quadro cards can I play good games whit it since I also use my PC for private.

Then wich cards are the best acoording to you all, whit which cards are you working with?

It doesn`t matter which brand or type or else, I just want to make a list for myself whit alle the cards so I can make my decision of choosing a card!

I hope you can help me.

First I did forget to say that I have both a XP and a Vista system, is there any difference between that?

I don`t think I get it fixed with te omega drivers, maybe I used the wrong version (I used de newest one)?

Is there anyone who have tried it with the omega drivers on a HD 2900 XT and it worked?

If this all wont work Ill buy a nvidia card, but are there any recommendations of wich card I should take (not the quadro cards, to expensive and can`t play good games with it)?, so just the regular nvidia cards.

And is it an option to intsall firegl drivers or doesn`t that work at all?

Hope to hear from you all.

Greetings

Knowing this you should - under Windows - focus on nVidia video output solutions as e.g. the GeForce SoHo series or - better - the Quadro FX CAx series (if affordable).

For getting the maximum OpenGL quality of your ATI Radeon card, you might want try the 'quality-modded' Omega driver which you can get from here:

Thanks for your reply!

I already was afraid that that was the problem! I just bought the HD 2900 XT card, so I dont think Im going to bu a new one from nVidia (maybe if the price is right). I was under the impression that ATI cards were better for 3D programs and Nvidia for games.

Is the problem in the drivers of the card or the card itself, if it are the drivers it might be fixed by ATI, I do hope so!

Are the omega drivers a good solution for this? In other words will it solve my problem? And how about playing games with this driver?

I hope to hear from you again.

Hello,
I Have a problem:
When Im drawing I sometimes cant select any faces, I thought it might be the pick reverse bug but it wasn`t. The I tried to shut down the hardware acceleration and that solved that problem. But now my system is very slow because of that.

I bought a new system a few months ago:

Q6600 2,4 Ghz
HD 2900 XT graphics card
4 GB Ram

I also find that my almost 4 year old laptop is faster than my new system (I know SU doesn’t support Multi Core but even on one core of the Q6600 it should faster than my laptop)

I hope you can help me with this problem and maybe tell me if this problem is solved in the next SU 7. Or is it a problem of ATI, that I have to contact them?
