Using gaming video card for Solidworks
(OP)
Is anyone use a high eng gaming video card (ie geforce 7900) to run solidworks? If so how does it compare to the workstation specific cards? I am trying to build a computer on a budget and the video card is killing me.
Thanks
Thanks

Also search for RivaTuner or SoftQuadro there as well. This is a pretty regular topic in that forum and you should find plenty of info, although some of it will be dated.

But, as Greg Locock mentioned: any standard graphics card can not possibly be the bottleneck of your workstation.

As of today similar cards on EBay closer to 190.00 though. Worth monitoring EBay for awhile, sometimes you can get very good deals.
