Has anyone doing 3-d modeling and rendering found that the MBP video card is not fast enough. I loaded a model of mine into the apple stores MBP and changing views of my model in wire frame was choking the computer. Is that a software problem or a hardware problem (VIDEO CARD)? Also any tips on what you have done modification wise to MBP so that it works for you as a 3d modeler and renderer would be appreciated.
 
It is supposed to be decent enough, but keep in mind that it is only a X1600, and a Mobile version at that
 
I've read that the MBP's x1600 is horribly crippled in terms of clock speeds. Luckily you can safely overclock it, and probably by a lot. IIRC you can almost double the speed overclocking it to the level of a "normal" x1600 (for some reason Apple went with slower speeds)
