Hi, I just bought a new system, and was wondering what type of Graphics card I should get to run Maya 5?
Below is what type of computer I just got.
Any and all help will be much appreciated.
Pentium® 4 Processor at 2.40GHz w/800MHz front side bus/ HT Technology
1GB Dual Channel DDR SDRAM at 400MHz (2x512M)
_120GB Ultra ATA/100 Hard Drive (7200 RPM)

Here's a list of "qualified" hardware that's officially supported by Alias:

I use Quadro 1000...It works great with Maya.

I have a Geforce4 Ti4200 128 DDR ram. It's not officially qualified for Maya by Alias. But it performs quite nice with maya. I bought this card mainly because I'm only a 15 year old student, who can't really afford a thousand dollar video card. Plus, I heard that a quadro card can actually perform worse in games :) But if you're going to be working in maya alot, and need that extra viewport speed and what not, I'd say a card from the Quadro family will quite suffice.
