ATI GRAPHICS CARD

[dprovost71]

I think I read somewhere that an ATI video card wasn't compatible with Mcam. Can somebody help me out with a good video card.

 

Thanks

Depending on which version of MCAM you are running, if it's X there are a couple of stable ATi cards, I use a Fire GL serves me reasonably well.

 

That being said most users appear to have gone over towards the Nvidia cards. I see the FX550 recommended alot.

 

If you do a search there is a plethora of information about video cards here.

If you're running Mastercam V9 or earlier, avoid all ATI cards and onboard video chipsets from Intel and SiS - stick with the nVIDIA Quadro FX line for best results.

 

If you're running Mastercam X, consider either the nVIDIA Quadro FX or ATI FireGL line of cards.
