Need Help!- importing files into v23 bobcad from alibre

[The One]

Right now anything in the HD 3 or 4 series would be comparable or better* than the 8600GT.

*This is relative to the drivers and memory on the card. I do not use these cards myself, so I can't speak to their stability or performance.

Regards

I have no idea what the others do to their PC's. Usually I buy the Lap Tops that Cadalyst Magazine Tests on High End Software.

It makes for less confusion.

Still the best CAD/CAM PC's are built by the user and do not have all the useless stuff found on factory built PC's.

John,

The type of Graphics Card you need depends on a few things.

1) Desk Top or Lap Top PC
2) PCI or PCI-E
3) Mother Board Configuration (Lap Tops usually have an Inset Chip not a Graphics Card)
4) Money what do you have to spend??

Here is a good example.

Two Nvidia Cards both 1 GB in Graphics RAM
the video game card will be about 4 to6 times cheaper than a CAD Card.

Look around NewEgg or Tiger Direct and you will see the difference in $$$ Video Game Cards are cheap while Workstation cards are more expensive.
