I want to understand how much the presence of a more powerful video card then my Radeon 9600 (es. 9800 or a x800) can influence the performances of 2D redrawing with VectorWorks 10.5.1 on my G5 DP 2.3. The problem I've experience is with a particular job where I would have to manage more files of the regional technical map, that turn out particularly heavy (in DWG 4-5 Mb, in VectorWorks 25-30 Mb, and DXF text approximately 100 Mb one). And I will have to work with more than file to the time. I have already tried all software alternatives on Mac
(Archicad/Plotmaker, DCAD, PowerCADD, TurboCADD, Highdesign), and however VectorWorks seems to be the best solution on Mac, but IMO, not enough. If it's worth the pain, I could change the card video, but I do not know how much this will affect the redrawing of 2D files with VectorWorks.
