Any recommendations on Graphic Aceleration Cards? Nvidia or Quadro or? For Vue which one? I find rendering too slow with my current one I want to upgrade. Thanks

Rendering has nothing to do with your Video card. Rendering is based of your processor and ram. How much ram and how much processor you have?

Yes, that's right. Rendering seems to be pretty much CPU-dependent. After 512MB of memory - more memory doesn't seem to add anything to rendering. But more memory has a significant effect on modeling (loading objects, moving them around, etc.) I have a dual CPU system - these really speed up my rendering, so you might want to consider a dual CPU system if you think you'll be doing much 3D work. Almost every 3D program I use takes good advantage of 2 CPU's. These help in modelling too. Nvidia seems best, to me at least.
