1- Apples vs oranges here... AutoCAD is for drafting, 3ds is for 3D (archvis, movies, TV, whatever). Can't compare them (even if you meant ACAD 2007)
2- If you're talking about performance with 3ds max, don't really see why buy a new one. Of course, I'm not the most qualified person in this forum to talk about hardware, but... 3- Not really. Specially in the beginning. |

Re: biginning stuff..help
I'm a beginner also at 3d work, started a year ago, but from what i gather rendering is all CPU dependant, the video card is only used for animation playback and viewport generation, it shouldn't speed up render times. Autocad really isn't a strain on video cards i run autocad 2002 on a 1998 Voodoo 3000 card with 16 Mb RAM !
2GB RAM is enough for decent render performance. |
