I was under the impression Poser doesn't use hardware acceleration . IMO, the cards are overkill . Better to up your RAM to 4 GB instead . If I play 3D games, I'd go for NVidia . I got a old Radeon which required driver update to work for some games . I also understand games are tested with NVidia first and Radeon second . If I watched movies, I'd go for the Radeon . I'm salivating from looking at the specs . Someone please get me a towel .
