My graphics card is a NVIDIA Geforce 8400 GS.
I have no idea if that's a good one, but it has 512MB of memory on it.
For After Effects, it seems to run pretty fast, but in Blender, it slows down.
Would additional RAM fix that, or at least speed it up slightly?[/quote]

I doubt you need more ram but it couldn't hurt. My brother uses Blender and AE practically all day and he said upgrading to 12gb gave him a little performance boost. Rendering is usually really processor intensive though. That's probably what you need to upgrade.]]></content>

What's the point in posting the same thing twice?


[i]EDIT:[/i]
[quote=WelcomeToAwesomeness]It's called a double post[/quote]

Well, I know that.

[quote]It normally happens when somebody clicks the "Submit button twice.[/quote]

Oh. That makes sense. XD

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Like I said, the implementation of OpenGL is not that great in AE. A much greater gain would be had from more RAM. And no, previewing is not the most important part in most cases, including mine. I need the actual files to render faster so I can move onto other compositions.  That said, one of the gains I hear AE CS5.5 brings is being able to work on a comp whilst one is rendering, though obviously this would still chew up resources pretty heavily.]]></content>

Is the preview not the most important part?
