Graphic card choice
(OP)
I am getting a new computer built and upgrading from SW 2009 to SW 2011 at the same time. As this is more a home computer I would like to favor game type graphics over SW.. but still want SW to run "reasonably" well .
If I select something like a Asus Direct-Cu Top GTX670 card will SW install? run? My SW 2009 runs well enough on my current ATI All-In_Wonder 9600 (1994 era) without "Real View", something I hope to have with my upgrade.
Thanks for your time and thoughts.

I recently switched one machine i use over from an 8800 GTX to a GTX670 and with the testing i ran before and after... there wasn't any kind of actual speed increase (which just tells me nVIDIA paralyze it more specifically nowadays then they used to). But having said that i don't have any real issues with normal use aside from what i mentioned above and from what i've seen there isn't that much of a difference with smaller assemblies (<1500 parts) from a Quadro 4000 anyway.
