I found that a fast graphics card is a blessing when working with complicated scenes in Poser and Vue. And solid OpenGL is a must - I still remember the ATI 9600 Pro I had a couple of years ago. At the time, it was the fastest graphics card I had by far, but it was an ATI - which means lousy OpenGL. That system was completely unusable with Vue.
Most of my Poser and Vue work is done on a system with an 8800GT, some of it on an system with a 7800GTX. I have a tendency to heavily populate my scenes, 15 human figures is no exception, and there's always lots and lots of environment figures/props.
A 8500 wouldn't cut it.
Well, that's me and the way I do things. If you're not into large busy scenes, a lighter graphics card will do the job just fine.
The pen is mightier than the sword. But if you literally want to have some impact, use a typewriter
