Hi pablao, i use a AGP-2x-VideoCard with 32 MB-RAM. (TNT2 Chip ;-)) The Scree-resolution ist 1280x1024 (32-Bit. For a good overview is a 17 or 19 Zoll Monitor important. so long subzero

Niether Poser nor Bryce use Direct3D or OpenGL. That is, a fast 3D video card will not help their performance, they do not offload anything to the hardware accelleration. Having a large screen is useful; if you're buying a monitor as well try to get an 19 inch (or larger) if you can. Your choice of video card will probably depend more on whether you play games on the machine. A TNT2 (suggested above) is a fine card for Poser use, and can be had pretty cheaply nowadays. If you play 3D games, a GeForce card would yield higher framerates.

Hi setenpab, Bryce does support Open GL,direct3d and sree 3d. If you perfer to utilize these modes ,a good card will help .but rendering is handled through your processor.make sure the Processor's architecture is good for graphics. More RAM will help redraw time. If your not a gamer,and you don't utilize open gl mode's, I would focus mainly on Processor and Memory. Hawkfyr

I planing to buy a AMD 850 CPU with 256 MB of RAM, the video cards choice could be an ATI FURY MAX 128 with 64 MB or maybe a GeForce card, like Geekholder recomends me. If I choose a GeForce card, do you know which could be a good one. By the way I would like to thanks al of you for your help (Im pretty new about Poser and all this stuff)
