Hello, I'm in the market for a new video card. It seems Vue, Poser, don't seem to like the 7300se card I have. (neither does World Of Warcraft)
I have a 2 partition drive, one that's 32bit and the other 64 bit (if that matters) I used to really keep up on this sort of stuff but not so much anymore.

Any info appreciated
Thank you for your time...

Here is one discussion from C3D. There was a longer one, but i don't see it now. A search here would prolly turn up a bunch also.

My understanding is that some 3D programs use the 3D GPU(s)/Pipelines of your display card and some don't. Vue does not. So i would look at how your individual 3D programs use your display card to find out if it's worth spending a lot of money (and dealing with all the hot air high- end cards put out) required for a high-end card.

I'd say the main advice is to get a card that is very popular, so that your 3D programs are likely to support it - for example a mainstream ATI or nVidia.

In Vue 5 or 6, all you'll get from an ultra-fast display card is faster viewport preview refreshes - not faster renders. 

You did not say what mobo or power supply you have. 

Consider the following when purchasing a Video Card. If your mobo is 2 or more years old stay in the 7600 to 8000 range.  

Do not install an ATI in a mobo that uses an Nvidia. You are asking for trouble, irrespective of what others may tell you.

Do you have the older 20 pin or the newer 24 pin Power Supply, and what are the rated watts.

If you buy a card then consider whether Vue will support the card you want.

Does it support OpenGL and what version, 2 is current.

Check the required voltage the Video Card needs from the power supply, 300, 350 watts, etc. Do not underpower a video card.

What is the Bus type and version, the rated Bus voltage?  They all vary from Intel to AMD, old to new. 

Try to find out from your mobo manufacturer what cards are rated and tested for use.  
 

That should get you started.
