I am buying a laptop for running 3D graphic soft such as Maya and Mudbox. My question is how powerful a graphics card will I need? I can get one with a QUADRO 4000M for a good deal is this good enough?
What is everyone else running?
Thanks!

I'm not as accomplished as most here in Maya, but these cards don't stutter a bit.

mostly positive reviews on the 2000D's, so I bought those instead.
