Hello community!


For home learning I'm searching for a Houdini compatible card
in lower price range. So in lack of budget I can think of 3 alternatives

1 Ati FireGL 8700
2 Ati Radeon 8500 ( w. FireGL 8800-softmod )
3 Ati Radeon 9500 ( w. FireGL Z1-softmod )

I know they're not on the list of supported cards and I know
that Geforce cards with Softquadro-patch are known to work
well with Houdini.

But if possible I like to have a card with better VGA and TV-signal quality
than those Geforces. Are there more possibilties?


Any experience or comment would be fine.




Thanks
