Hi everyone,
Could you please suggest a cheap graphics card that can run Redsdk technology from Redway3D.
I have installed a CAD programe (BricsCAD) onto my PC but the programme dies when I change to 3d solid modeling.
The following text is from the BricsCAD website:
"BricsCAD's non-wireframe render modes are based on Redsdk technology from Redway3D®.
GPU-acceleration for these render modes requires a supported GPU (graphic processing unit), either on a video card or on the motherboard.
On Windows, Redsdk with hardware acceleration is supported on the following video chipsets:
NVIDIA chipsets
GeForce 8 Series
GeForce 9 Series
GeForce GTX Series
AMD ATI chipsets
R600 family
R700 family
INTEL chipsets
GMA 4000 family
A detailed overview can be found here: Redway3d - GPU List
The latest video drivers are typically required and can be found here: Redway3d - Drivers list "
Unfortunately I have no idea which card will fit in my PC so I look for guidance!
The spec of my pc is as follows.
Motherboard - asus M2A-VM HDMI
Processor - AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5000+
Hard drive - Seagate Barracuda ST3320620AS ATA
RAM - 2 No. 2 GB DDR-2
Operating system - Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2
The motherboard only has 1 PCIe x16 slot which is used by the HDMI adapter card, so this will have to go I imagine.
Any suggestions for a cheap (under £50) graphics card that will fit my pc would be great. I could even get a second hand higher spec card if this would be a better option.
I will be buying a new pc in around 12 months time so I just need to get the CAD program working for now.
