I'm curious as to whether I will get any added boost in maya with a video card that has more ram on it. Right now every so often when I am working on a fairly heavy scene in maya I run outta ram and my HD starts crunching. I'm wondering if I upgrade my video card from a GeForce 2 GTS with 32mb of ram to a GeForce 4 Ti 4200 with 128 mb of ram if this will help out a lot. I realize I should also get more system ram but I can't afford that right now (I have 256 RDRam and that kinda sucks to upgrade right now...) plus I will be getting a whole new system in about 4 months with at least a Gig of ram....so for now...will this newer video card help me out much in maya (The card is only like $150 so....)??? Thanks for the help....oh yea.....
BASICALLY - I want to be able to naviagate through maya faster and try to make maya not make my HD crunch. Also the scenes have a lot of referenced stuff in them so that may be hurting performance as well....but.....will a new card help? that???
