Video Cards (OpenGL) HELP!
Alright I am putting together a new computer and I have been searching the web for a good solid two weeks looking for a good solid well priced video card. Probably around the $400 range CND.(ya I know its not a lot for an OpenGL card) Not looking for somthing brand spankin new out of china, but somthing that may be last years model. I am an architectual student and I am using 3d programs plus CAD.
Currently I have an OpenGL card and I notice the difference between the OpenGL and a regular video card used for gaming, but now with my eniviorments getting a little more detailed the rendering time has increased dramatically(average render for me with my out date card is 5 hours. Tieing up my computer which in turn I can't use it.
I have read a lot about the ATi fire series and the nVidia Quadro 4 series and have been to many different sites. One will praise while the other will shoot it out of the air. So I can't make heads or tails of the cards. Please any help will be greatly appreciated. If you can direct me to a closeout dealer or really anything, will help thanks.
