I’m thinking of buying Maya animation software. It requires a Hardware-Accelerated OpenGL graphics card. Does anyone know what vendor makes a Hardware-Accelerated OpenGL graphics card for laptops? Also, what laptop manufacturer uses this type of card?
ATI and NVIDIA graphics would be your choices.
Chipset integrated graphics solutions definitely won’t cut it for Maya.
For professional use of workstation software like Maya check out the Quadro FX Go on
