I don’t get it. All day I have been fighting a video driver issue. New computer with just a few applications installed. It has been running like a champ for a month, nothing new installed for weeks, and all of a sudden crashes all day. It got to a point where it would not boot at all. I pressed F1, and it finally booted. In MAX it froze when I went into shaded mode. It also froze in Photoshop. When I say froze, I mean the computer wasn’t responsive at all. I know it’s the video card because I was getting the bubble saying that the graphic card has recovered from a crash. I ended up rolling back the driver to a Autodesk certified one, but it had a whole new set of issues. I ended up uninstslling the driver, rebooted and let Windows install the driver and things are going okay. I’m assuming a Windows update gunked things up. What a pain! The video card is an NVidia 3800FX. Anybody else experience this?
That card came out 5 and a half years ago. Are you sure it was new?
Well, in my refurbished DELL. It’s new to me 
my point is, it worked fine for the first month.
Its an old card.
IMO Geforce cards perform much better in 3Ds Max. From what I know GTX 760/750ti are recommended.
I own both a GTX 780 and GTX 770 and I can’t tell the difference. (only compared to an old Quadro 4000 which was horrible)
I’ll have to pick one up.
get the 970. it’s one of the cheapest and simultaneously the best.
got it, load and locked!
