I know DDR is better than SDR, but does it improve preformance with 3d design programs, like 3dMax, lightwave, Maya...etc? Basically is it worth paying the extra 50-100 bucks for DDR?
I want to get a card thats good for both games and 3d Modeling.
thanks-in advance for your replys.

My opinion:
GeForce = TNT2 Quality + V00d00 Speed |

GeForce rocks, and is my video card of choice, however paying extra for DDR will not help you with CAD.
The extra memory bandwidth has no effect on the T&L engine, and is primarily used for large texture storage.
If you want an extra 10-15 fps in games with high-res textures like Q3A, then get the DDR instead of the SDR. Personally I think you'd be better off saving your money by buying the SDR - great for games, just as good as DDR for CAD...
