I wouldn't suggest an FX card because they are slower than the Ti's and and way more slower than the radeons. If you play games and maya, I would suggest a Asus Radeon 9600Xt, it out preforms the 9800Se and non-pro. But if all you do is maya, maya, maya...then I would suggest a wildcat, fireGL(ATI), or a Quadro (just the normal quadro 4) Hope this helps. Regards, jklaroe
