[vtkusers] Does having a graphics card help?

YES YES YES YES
 
VTK uses OpenGL and in general the Nvidia drivers under windows are thought
to be superior. I have used mid range cards quite successfully for the last
2 years and have only upgraded recently to an expensive card as we needed to
have true 3D capabilities

Hi everyone,

I dont have a dedicated graphics card (its built into my motherboard, so
only 64MB i think). My renderings run very slowly. Would buying  a dedicated
graphics card (such as NVIDIA GeForce) speed things up? Any suggestions as
to how much memory I need on my graphics card, or what kind I should go and
buy? 

Thanks
