I am looking for users that have purchased 'reasonably' priced graphics cards with dual monitor support, used them 'extensivly' with Maya 4.0 (Windows 2000 and/or Linux) and had great success. I would be interested to know the following:
1) What type of card, make and model?
2) What level have you used this card in conjunction with Maya 4 (1=beginner, 5=expert/extensivly)?
3) What issues have you had with this card and what were the resolutions?
4) Any and all experiences with your card and Maya.
5) If you had to purchase a graphics card again, today, what would you buy and why?
Please, please don't simply point me to Maya's pre-qualified graphics card document. I have read it several times and all cards are to costly for my budget. I am looking for something $300 or under. I have been looking at the ATI Radion 8500 with dual monitor support but have been unable to find much on Maya support with this card.
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
Pete
