Re: Graphic Card for 3d design
gaming 3D cards are a lot better than they used to be at piping data back in... see if you can find any specviewperf benchmarks wth different cards

is this or this any help?

When you opt to render an image or movie, 3DS Max seems to use the CPU. I could be wrong though, it may well use parts of the Graphics card to accelerate the render.
could be reverting to software GL, for some reason? drivers arent always 100% compatible...
