3dsMax uses standard ("necessary evil") OpenGL and hardware acceleration for video and some plugins & other features - the main reason I wanted a card was to smooth over the processing bumps that were causing slowdown, crashes etc. The reason I said ´not for games´ is that the games I play are old and / or not too graphically challenging, though I have seen improvement there anyhow.

I reckon I just need more RAM for the CPU because the 2D / 3D switch (photoshop (or internet) <-> max) seems to be what´s causing the problem . . .
