Nvidia or ATI for SolidWorks??

My first suggestion is to do a search of this newsgroup for "video card" as this topic has been discussed many, many times just since the first of the year. You might find what you are looking for, and more.

I'm using an NVIDIA Quadro FX 3000 with 128Mb of ram on a P4 3.2Ghz (DELL PWS360) with 1 Gb of ram. I love it, go with a newer NVIDIA so you can use the realview in Solidworks.

Since Wayne gave really good advice, and Richard favored NVIDIA, let me throw in a pitch for the new ATI FIREGL cards, available in AGP versions and the LATEST "PCI Express" versions. In case you wondered, they ALSO support RealView, and they are generally cheaper than the comparable Nvidia products.

Mr. Pickles (2 of the 3 responding to your post have an ATI card)

Thanks, have been looking a bit through older posts.

Thanks for the input. I have heard some good things at the local level here about the ATI's. The ability to use RealView is one of the bigger reasons for switching from my existing card (since it performs very good but is more a gaming card).
