Hmmm Poser 6 was running reasonably, but render times were still slow using the onboard graphics processor, so off to the shop. I bought a 256Mb Radeon 9550 card. Now render times are slower.. Grrr. (Yes the card is Open GL.) Any ideas anyone. Probably a stupid question, but it just doesn't seem to make sense. I just tested my old 800 Mhz thinkpad with 512 Mb RAM and onboard video renders Vickie 3 in the same time as a 2.4Ghz Celeron, 512 Mb RAM and a 256Mb video card. I know my system is still pityfully underpowered, but surely I'm missing something.
