Hi,

My preference for Graphics Cards are the AMD FirePro cards. It is what I use everyday and am very happy with. They are higher end cards and will cost a bit more.

For the stock update you saw on the video, I am sure you saw the Faceted Stock mode in use. The faceted mode switches from a pure solid to a polyhedron (similar to STL). It is ridiculously fast.

Also...a fun fact. As of 7.8, you can reposition a part that used the Faceted stock mode now. (it was a limit to earlier versions).

Hope this helps.
Happy Designing

Hey guys,

Here is a great tool to see how hard your card is working and how much Vram its using! I have been using it for years to evaluate cards and how hard software does, and doesn't, push them. Might be an eye opener.
