So I'm looking at the Quadro FX 570. What do you all think?
thanks,

• I bought a Quadro FX 570 last week, and tested it for 3 hours by downloading very complicated model in 3D warehouse, e.g. whole city modeling, or a complicated car copy and paste for 20 times. I must say it's alot better than my old "gamer" graphic card, although people say gamer card like GeForce 9xxx can handle sketchup very well, or sketchup speed mostly depends on CPU and ram etc, but i find that a workstation card is far superior.

p.s. maybe 570 is the most latest "entry level" workstation card, which the shopkeeper highly recommended me to buy it instead of a expensive old intermediate level one, i love this honest shopkeeper

thanks for fast reponse
I will go get a new graphic card tomoorow

I know what's the problem, it's my cheap Intel onboard display card.....
I tried go to Windoes > preference > openGL > disable hard acceleration, then everything just work fine, but it slows down my SU very very much =(
when i turn the hardware acceleration ON, then i have the face selecting problem ( it always select the face behind it)...

so the only thing i can do is to buy a new graphic card? Please help~

p.s. I am using window XP SP2
