Because graphics cards are rapidly developing these days, this page will be updated from time to time. Last update: 4th of April 2007.
To have fluently frames during the simulation we suggest that your computer should have a CPU with more than 2500 MHz and a graphics card that meets the latest standards.
You can double the performance of your cards if you double themselves, which means that you are using the SLI technology by NVidia. LucidDrive is already SLI optimized! More information about SLI here. In near future there will be chipsets that will allow more than two cards for one SLI mainboard. The latest SLI Mainboard chipset is the 680i, which you should regard if you choose the right motherboard.

Nvidia Quadro FX 4600 |

Best choice. Based on the same chip like the 8800 series, this is the best solution at the moment. |

Best Performance |
Nvidia Geforce 8800 GTX |
600 Euro |
Same as FX 4600 without professional customer support. |
|
Budget SLI |
Nvidia Geforce 8800 GTS |
300 Euro |
Almost as fast as the GTX variant. If you put two in a SLI system it will top a single GTX. |

Budget Single |
Nvidia Geforce 7900 GS |

This should do for most LucidDrive applications, if you don't need high resolutions. |
