http://film.nvidia.com/page/gelato.html Everyone always asks it seems, and the answer is almost always the same; "which video card should I have for poser?", "It doesn't matter, because your video card doesn't have anything to do with it, unless you have a shared memory video card (bad)". With Nvidia Gelato, they have made a rendering engine that uses the GPU on your video card to act as a parallel processor; as they are releasing a freeware API with C++ and Python scripting interface elements, this means that it could work with Poser, if someone went to the trouble. The cost is prohibitive, at $2750. So what this is going to really do is just make the "which video card should I use" question slightly harder to answer.
