I built an AMD 2800+ PC for the express purpose of budget 3d work, particularly with D|S. With a Radeon 9200, it's herky jerky when posing. I hear nVidia cards are better with D|S. But there's a SEA of choices. I have $75 - $100 to spend on a new nVidia card. Which one? I don't game. I run WinXP Pro. What features are not used by the D|S software? Which features are? I see specs on pipelines, memory bit width and other things gamers foam at the mouth about...but will these help D|S any? I have an AGP 8x slot on an ECS 754socket board. Don't care about noise/fan/fanless/whatever, I just need to get V3 et al posing smoothly, and open up the full rendering options (all 8 lights, cartoon, etc)
