A real question... Just brought home an HP Z800 workstation dual x5650 with 24 gig ram 160 hd/win7 pro NO graphics card .Plan on poser only (pro2014) no external rendering at this time
Please suggest a graphics card.

Without knowing the dimension and bit depth of the monitor you want to use, it is not so easy to recommend a video card. You also need to verify that the workstation still has enough output from the power supply to push it.
My workstation peaks at about 1400 watts, which is well past what the stock power supply in a Z800 can put out.
The stock power supply in a Z800 may get taxed past 800 watts even thou it is stamped 1100+. (depending on sub model)
