I can attest to newer Geforce cards.  I have a 470 from last year, and it runs like a champ.  MIGHT end up going to a dual card setup, but that’s caused more by “Battlefield 3” than work…

Can anyone recommend me a video card to be able to work on Sketch up, photoshop, illustrator and CAD? I am getting a new computer and wanted to see the minimum requirements I should have to support all those software.

Thank you

great idea this group! it is exactly what i was looking for! 🙂

Thanks for the invite Mike! I’m excited about this group.

Peter,  your comment about approaching your portfolio from a print format perspective is interesting.  I think many of us who spend a lot of time at the drawing board suffer from this, and moving our personal work to digital format is a jump for some.  I think that if you have a standardized filing system in place that is reflected on your co…[Read more]

Thanks for the feedback, Page! It’s funny, looking back now I obviously should have clarified a number of issues you picked up on.
The document is set up in an 8×10 Blurb template (because most of my sites are portrait orientation) and the “cover page” is actually Page 1 of a Blurb template (the cover is a separate document at this time because…[Read more]

Mr. Lin,

@ Peter Coyle.  Regarding the pdf portfolio you uploaded to this wall, here are my comments on layout.
Cover page:  clean layout but a missed opportunity to immediately showcase your skills.  Consider some of your images as a semi-transparent background, or a small thumbnail strategically placed.  Re-format the cover to landscape orientation so…[Read more]

Dear Zach,,,,Thank you very much for such valuable information,,,one more question ,,,Is there are many differences between the free version and payable one ?,,,,best regards,,,,kiwan

In regards to the first comment about the program operating very slow, I would guess that either there are so many objects in the file that it is making the program run slow, or hardware on your computer such as your CPU and/or your Memory are not fast enough for the program.  In regards to the CAD to Sketchup, Google removed that option in the…[Read more]
