terminusnord, you obviously know your stuff, but I confess it's hard to understand you some of the time. Let's try to boil this down to simpler terms. 1.) I take it Poser won't benefit from a more powerful graphics card. Poser does all its work in the CPU. 2.) Which 3D or graphics programs currently will take advantage of a better graphics card? (examples, Bryce, PhotoShop, Vue?!) 3.) Graphics cards don't help rendering times. Probably a faster CPU or more memory are the only things that will.
