I'm buying a new video card soon, to improve Poser Pro's OpenGL performance in the Preview window, and am planning on buying a copy of Vue Infinite next year.  I understand both Vue and Poser need to run concurrently so Vue can use Poser's shaders.

I've got my eye on a Geforce GTX 560 Ti with 1 GB of VRAM, which will replace my 9800 GT.  I need to know if the 560 will be enough to bridge Vue and Poser while providing optimal OpenGL performance in both.

My GTX260 is powerful enough to run Vue and Poser at the same time without any problems navigating the view, so I'd imagine a 560 with it's CUDA and superior amount of cores would be way more than enough to have the two running simultaneously.

Though if you want true workstation power, go with a Quadro series card, even the most powerful consumer nvidia card can't beat a Quadro in terms of raw rendering power.

Excellent.  Thanks.

That would be an ideal solution, but my rendering PC is also my gaming and multimedia PC.
