ATI VS. NVIDIA
ATI VS. NVIDIA
(OP)
We are currently looking at high end video cards, specifically the NVIDIA FX4500 and the ATI FIREGL V7350, (I have large assemblies - 5000+ parts and the system is very sluggish, drawings are almost impossible) does anyone have any experience or feedback on these two cards or others around the $2000 CDN price area.

Take note of the recommended system requirements at http
Perhaps you should be looking at a x64 system so that you can increase the RAM.
RE: ATI VS. NVIDIA
and x64 is not an option, I have heard too many horror stories.
Maybe next year for that with vista.

How's your video memory usage?

I'd also look in the SW2008 beta forums, to see how your next graphics card will suffice over a year.
Be aware that both the FGL V7350 and the FX 4500 are previous gen products. The current gen product is the Quadro FX 4600.
In my findings memory bandwith is very important for SW performance, the 4600 allmost doubles the 4500 bandwith, see:
