RAM and Best Graphics Card for CD X6 / X7

G'day

We do a lot of artwork that contain small very detailed items.  One such file contains in excess of 340k Objects, and some have even more.  Screen refresh times become an issue whenever trying to do *anything*.

Currently running Win7-SP1 (64BIT), i7-3610QM, 8GB RAM, 256GB-SSD.

Whilst a general performance improvement is always good, for improved video performance specifically, would I be better to:

_____(a) upgrade to 16GB RAM

_____(b) install a Quadro (K1100M? K2100M?) graphics card

_____(c) both

  • Hello Geoff; The hole video plays together for the best and fastest video. AMD has video cards for graphics that go to a few $1,000.00 each manly for CAD computers. a fast monitor helps the system to around 2 or 3 ms refresh. You can see what I'm using ( it's not the best, but it's not bad enough to change.) my  mobo lets me use two extra gig of the DDR 3 system ram to help the 2 gig DDR 5 video if needed. I also have a 29" monitor. the video card is a GForce 550 2 gig.|
      Here is a address for one of there better cards. http://fireprographics.com/ws/products/w9100/index.asp
