Quote - Poser is just terrified of good video cards is all it is. It's intimidated by power. It was designed in the days when a user was lucky to have an onboard 3dfx card with 32 MB of RAM on his 1998 Compaq. ;-)

See though, what did I tell you? It's only Poser. It's always only Poser.

Whatever you do, don't overclock that 8800 GTS and try it with Poser. You wanna talk terrified? I never saw Poser move so quick before. So quick to crash, that is. ;-)
I tried it with Riva Tuner and the EVGA Precision Tool and got some nice benchmarks in 3D Mark and Half-Life 2 Lost Coast, and it seemed perfectly stable with all the other graphics apps I have, but Poser didn't like it one little bit.

I have a special 8800 GTS card that is factory overclocked and has 1gig of dedicated DDR3 Vram and Poser doesn't seem to like it. I have been trying to play with Posers render settings to see if one setting or another stops the behavior. Sometimes changing the settings works and sometimes not. So who knows... LOL
