    Probably one of the 500 series with 3GB would be better than what you have.

    I've got a NVidea 580M GTX 3GB in my laptop. I often have 2 or 3 render views active at the same time and I use a lot of extra symbols for roofing, etc. I am able to zoom and rotate the views very fast.

    Thanks Joe, I just got on the Nividea site and noticed this.....Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTX, do you think this would have a mega increase in performance over what I have now?

    The videos we watch are not 100% gold, but if we find a gold nugget, the time spent viewing has a value.

    We can please some of the people some of the time, but we can't please all the people all of the time..... but I will keep trying.

    Probably, but I don't know the specs on the 8800. Your 280 is a bit dated.

    I really don't know what I am doing here, I thought the higher the number the better, but maybe the 500 series is the best. Maybe the GTX590.....
