If you're really looking into doing some serious Maya work, I might recommend:
Nvidia Quadro FX 4000 and 4400 (nvidia)
Wildcat Realizm 800 (3dlabs)
FireGL V7100 (ati)
The cards I listed are considered "Ultra High End", and they will run you up to around $7000. |
Thanks everyone, yeah it does take a lot of ram as well, im thinking of getting 2 gigs of ram, but 1 gig at the least. the computers at my school have 1 gig, but some of my work is so complex that after 15 minutes of editing in wireframe, the comp starts swaping and then crashed after close to a gig has swapped.
as for video cards, I was looking at the fire gls and the quadro fx, but do not want to spend that much $ $1000 is even a lot to me. comp animation is a hobby that I would like to do more of at home, but I cant afford a $7000 dollar card. also, I heard that you can get some non professional cards, change the bios, and they will be on par with the professionals. does anyone know about this? thanks for the replys
