An 8mb ATI card is no good for anything in Maya. Are you serious? Comparing the two is like comparing the value of Gold to the dirt in my back yard user added image

Yeah, i read that before in one of your posts and i'm still baffled how you do it user added image I'm not happy using my Geforce 2 pro which has 64 mb's. I guess you've learned how best to work with it.

Things work out for me, but I have no idea what I'm missing out with my small gfx card.

So please tell me guys, what's it like having a 64+ gfx card?

edit:
I think my card can handle 24/32bit in uxga screen-resolution, but my TFT screen has a max resolution of 1400 x 1050 (sxga+).

I think this joking around about 8megs came about after I mentioned that I only have 8MB VRAM (AGPx2)on my laptop (!) in some other thread.

But I actually have only 8mb (max).
Im doing fine user added image.
