If your main concern is rendering, then you're going to want a rendering card like a FireGL or a Quadro instead of a gaming card. Also, save money and ditch the X-Fi.

For rendering (non realtime), the video card makes almost no difference at all. A gaming card is just fine for rendering, no need for a Quadro or FireGL.

For realtime rendering (mesh editing in viewports, etc.) a card like the Quadro or FireGL *may* make a difference depending on the app used.

moniter mouse pad stuff comming on monday.

will have pics of my vmodded 7900gt ^^ up soon. hope it did it right.

well i choose the 7900gt since i herd after vmoddeding it it could reach scores like the 7800gtx. also i dont think those cards can play hl2 or bf2 on high setting for my brother
