hi!

i wish to know which kind of acceleration (performance) a famous video card can afford to poser ?

For example, actually i own a ATI Radeon HD2400 with 512 memory.
Preview mode, and interface using in Poser7 is quicky, almost real-time.
But in the rendering animation, it is long, long, very long !

So, if tomorow i should decide to buy a new video card, what will i gain in Poser ?
Does the rendering task will be faster in animation rendering ?
and in single picture frame rendering ?

What part of the rendering could be faster ? load and calcul texture, shawdow..etc ?
or just display rendering ?

I really need to increse my performance of my computer to perform in Poser7 in good resolution (640x480 30f/s movie).
Actually i have the most powerful cpu that my motherboard can support, so changing the video card would be the less expansive for me to increase performance.
A high performance video card cost 150€ (like a nvida quadro), whereas changing my own computer could be more expansive (motherboard+memory + cpu)

thanks for help, and maybe you could advice me a video car model for build-up poser7 !
