Recommend a graphics card

[urmood]

Hi there,

Looking for some advice...

I don't play games on my computer but occasionally use "3d studio max". Use other programs like photoshop, illustrator etc

Just wondered what would be a good graphics card to go for (pci-e) something around £100, don't know if i need to spend more??

Thanks for any help

If thats all you intend on using it for, then go for something like a 6200, it will only cost you around £30 for what you need.

Hi 1CE,

Thanks for the reply.

You reckon thats all i'd need? will 3d studio max be jerky or the 3d feature in illustrator? If not thats excellent

Well from personal experiance i've never seen it need anything too demanding, but may i suggest waiting for few more replies, as other member may have btter ideas

Thanks luminous,

Think a lower end graphics card will be fine then. Anybody else say different?

I would probibly go for a cheap 256mb card just for future proofing (such as 6200 265mb)
