Hi,

because of my biiiig problem, I started thinking about buying an ATI Fire GL8800.
Do you have experiences with Maya combined with ATI Fire GL8800?
A|W says it is qualified and problems are not known. It's not sure that my problem is solved though.
Thanks in advance.

Regards,
lutz

Possibly yeah, as it's using different graphics chipset than GeForce, you would immediately notice if the problem really is in the card, or somewhere else.

Although it still seems rather risky to just buy an expensive GFX-card, without knowing for sure if it'll solve the problem or not... but hey, if you're willing to, give it a try :thumbsup:

Well, I really have to think about it. It's quite expensive. I didn't want to buy a better gfx card before end of next year. But maybe I have to now...
I will think about alternatives this week...

Take a peek in the hardware section, there's a thread or two concerning the ATI FireGL 8800. From what I have heard it works good, but some have a few complaints about it. nothing too major from what I remember though. I've been lookin at the FireGL 8700 (cause I'm on a budget) but I don't have it yet
