Graphics card for home computer
(OP)
Can Solidworks 2006 run saticfactory on a Radeon X1950Pro 256MB or a NVIDIA Geforce 7900GS 256MB.
I am just going to use Solidworks for some work I will take home at very rare occasions.
Also will Solidworks work OK on XP Home?
Which graphics would be the better one?
Thanks

I have a nVidia Quadro4 750 XGL on my home computer and it works great. It's a few years old and can be found on ebay for cheap.

If you're not going to be doing any high end modeling, or working with large assemblies, you'll be ok (I stress 'ok') with an unapproved card, but I wouldn't recommend it. If you have to, go with the GeForce card.

Just make sure that the Anti-Aliasing and Anthroscopic filtering are set to "application controled" or you will get some weird graphical anolomies in SW.

I also have a $65 ati se300 graphics card that I intended to change but never did as it works just fine for smaller models. Some minor quirks.
