Short answer: No.Originally posted by Nem
ok, a slightly easier question first
does the graphics card speed up rendering or improve render quality at all?
Harware rendered particles may get some boost on speed and quality but software renderer (the normal renderer) doesn't have anything to do with the gfx card.

but if you get more RAM put in your CPU will that speed up renders ?
or let you render things that take a lot of memory ?
Thanks for wasting your time reading this line.

i can only have a max of 1.5gb of ram when i originally wanted two
but anyway, i wanted a professional card for maya to speed up viewport displays cos i really hate it when i have to do lots of playblasts cos it wont play at correct speed, to have to re-render stuff, so bring on the power
