Hi,

I'm not really looking to do full cityscapes with millions of polys and textures - but I'd like to think I'd be able to manage rendering a nicely filled room interior or a house/street scene with gardens for example.

Does that sort of stuff sound doable on a 2gb card?

Cheers.

Only you know the sorts of scenes you want to render and how memory intensive they are likely to be. In general, geometry takes up minimal VRAM (unless you are dealing with 10's of millions of polys) and texturemaps use the bulk of the VRAM. Will you be using Standalone or one of the plugins?

I'll be using the lightwave plugin mostly I think.
