PNY Quadro FX 500?

[Fahad]

hi flapells,

I've wonderd the same thing, and everyone i've asked seems to recommend the Quadro FX 1100 because it's just a bit more expensive, and can handle things in Maya better than the FX 500, so it'll be a worthwile investment in the long run, say you're learning Maya now, but in a month or a few, you'll see that you'll need the extra benefits of the FX 1100.

but that's only what I gather, I could be wrong.

good luck.

I have an FX500 that I use with LW. I'm very happy with it.

I have both the FX500 and the FX 1100. FX500 is a good card but its not 'that' fast. It runs real well in maya but a bit weaker in comparison with other apps. It runs fine, just when you hit high poly counts, complex texture or lighting, it will slow down faster than a card like 1100. 1100 IS much faster though, especially in handling complex scenes.

Cheers for the tips, sounds like I'd better take a look at the 1100.

Consider the Quadro FX 700 too, because the core is full NV35GL chip. And it comes without a fan, so it´s pretty silent, but the clock rates are lower compared to a Quadro FX 3000, but the chip is the same. I don´t know how much you will have to invest on a Quadro FX 700, but if it is cheaper than a Quadro FX 1100 I would go for the 700.
