Though relatively new to Poser Pro 2012, I've come a long way with it but still have a lot to learn, which is half the fun. but the one annoying thing with this proggy was certain little glitches that made the process quite a drudge to work with. I would end up with 15 to 20 second delays when switching from render to preview screen (at best quality), and occassionally get the window in window glitch where only a portion of the preview screen was active and would have to wait for the rest of it to become active before doing anything. Happens often enough to make you need to reboot the system and start over again. I tried all the suggestions and advice offered but these glitches would eventually pop up again.. frustrating.

I always suspected that the AMD Sapphire 6950 2GB card I had in my i7 940 16GB Vista64 system was the culprit with bad OpenGL drivers but there was only one way to find out. Luckily for me, someone wanted my 6950 for his gaming rig so I went out and picked up an MSI GTX 560 Ti 2GB Twin frozer card.. 

And wow, NOW Poser 2012 works like it was meant to work.. super quick between render and preview screens, no image glitches, no window in window glitches.. the preview screen items move around super fast with no lag. Three full days of Poser work and no glitches or hiccups (knock on wood).. I'm impressed and happy with having changed cards.. and for me, well worth the change.

And the GTX games better too.. ;)
