Isn't it generally a one way trip to the monitor for graphics data when it goes to the video card? -----Original Message----- From: Russell Jennings [mailto:russell0@hotmail.com] Sent: Friday, April 21, 2000 12:29 PM To: tbranan@eidetic.com; 3DSMAX@engram.net Subject: RE: dual proc doubts Tim Said >actually, the graphics card has absolutely nothing to do with the rendering >process.. I'm sorry, but that's simply not correct. A graphics card can make a noticeable difference in rendering, especially if you're using the correct drivers. The computer will pass data off to the card. Again, a Wildcat 4110 has 4 Processors on it, which can significantly reduce rendering times.
