[quote=“Dr.Stevil,post:19,topic:30698"”]

actually… video card really isnt a huge must (unless you’re getting into very high detail models)… atleast, you don’t need anything more than a 150-200 card. The rendering process, AFAIK, uses the CPU for all of it’s computing… effects and such are also handeled by the CPU.

I was running max using an old 9700 pro and it worked great… albeit, once I started creating huge scenes, it did slow down quite a bit (the 7800 helped it though)

you contradicted yourself… 🙂

you said “videos not a huge must unless…”

and then you said the unless part, which is “huge scenes” and “the 7800 helped it though”

That was my point exactly before :lol: Its not a HUGE must have… but, if you’re gonna use the program to its full potention, something like a 7800 is a must have. (they’re not too expensive nowadays, thank god)
