Look here, thefixer that was kinda rude, dontcha think? I didnt just pull what I typed outta my
a$$...I specifically said "I have my own reasons for that which are mainly subject to opinion and preference" when saying I chose Nvidia.
I am not here to debate you or anyone on silly irrelevant stuff. I'm offering my own experiences is all. Dont get on a soap box and shut me down with self important rhetoric, because I'm not off base.

You said in an above response to this post: "Hope this helps and I do know about this stuff as I'm qualified in this stuff".
Fine, so what you're saying is that anyone who chooses Nvidia over ATI isn't as you put it "qualified"? What is "qualified"???
Like I said, I do stereoscopic imaging...I chose the one that works for me for what I do...stereoscopic imaging.....
You know, I've been 'round here since '01. Having said that, I have never engaged in online bickering and any search of my name will reflect that.
I can also ignore the childish "look at me, I'm smart!" statements that are made by some on any message board, on any subject. However what makes this different is your proclamation of my being "way off base" and ATI's "better" blah, blah, blah, then offering nothing of your "knowledge" to make your case other than what appeared to be nothing more than opinion, or your own expericences. You said "the latest radeons piss all over the nvidia". Yeah,...looks like a "qualified" statement to me...
This kind of thing not only (to me anyways) appears to be the "look at me I'm smart!" thing, but you added the element of "look at him, he's wrong/dumb/unknowledgable".

I will say this...ATI does not come CLOSE to doing what I need it to do for stereoscopic imagry...High end cards like 3dLabs and the like do, but so does Nvidia, and has for a long time.

Another "qualified" statement you made to counter my advice was: "It makes no difference anyway because Poser needs system RAM and a solid processor more than the graphics card".
This is just silly. If this is what you believe, than I think in my lab I have several old 8 meg cards, I'll swap you 1 for whatever you have in your machine right now. The time it takes to render maxed res. image is now a fraction using a 256 meg card than a 64 or a 32. You are correct about your above statement, but I was not wrong in mine. Of course Poser needs RAM and a good CPU.
(DUH). <<------ that's the smartest thing I could think to say about that one...
You know what you know and that's great. But to assume that others do not, well that's just silly. You do not know who I am, or of my background at all. Then again, I might just be a monkey that was trained to type...Ya never know.
Now let's have lunch, I'll buy
