Urg -- the 7800 GTX really is crappy for Maya compared to the 6800 Ultra which you can then softmod to a Quadro 4000.

But than again, if you never touch hardware particles/hardware render... who cares? Enjoy your purchase, looks sweet.

Edit: I just checked out Alias.com which states that no GeForce serise card supports (or rather, is ideal for) Maya, but a quick check on CGTalk i found loads of topics on this, many people saying it runs fine. Besides the Quadro cards cost an arm and a leg.

Anyway, Maya runs fine for me. Actually it worked pretty much ok with the last card i had - GeForce256 user added image

Yeah, but no but yeah but no....

I just upgraded recently too, isn't it great to know that you can actually do stuff without stupid lag and disk writing now? user added image
