For those of you that do 3D work and have some computer knowledge I have a few questions since I have neither and my plans are starting to go beyond the capability of pencil and paper. Currently I have never built my own computer before and actually hate PCs with a passion, but living in silicon valley it's impossible to be ignorant about them.
I don't want to clutter the thread with a list of what I'm looking at (unless it comes up), but I'm mainly interested in:
1. What programs do you use?
2. What graphics card do you use?
I've seen these professional 3D graphics cards, as as much as I'd love to get one and run dual cards for gaming; realistically I'm going to do a lot more gaming and video all around than I'll be doing 3D rendering with it. So what is necessary/practical? Since for the same price as a low end professional card you can get a mid to high end gaming card. Thanks!
