I'm finally to the point of buying (any second now!) a video card to support my D|S work. I'd like to know what others have been using and/or can recommend. It's come up again and again that the latest and greatest isn't necessary to get great D|S performance so I'm looking for the most cost effective solution w/ sacrificing "real" D|S performance.
I'm on a 3Ghz P4 PC with two open PCI express slots.
I also have two related questions. First, will the onboard memory help renders at all or just scene navigation? Second, how does a higher version of Open GL support factor into the equation (say 1.4 vs. 2)?
Thanks in advance for any help/advice/insight you can provide.
