Its kind of meaningless to buy a new card when i have bought a card to 300 dollar already, but:
what kind of card do you recomend
and
can i have two card installed at once and swith among them?
The reason i have a Matrox is i do only processing of images, no gaming at all

Hi Bo,
A GTX 295 is $500, plus the water-cooling stuff that's almost required 
But there are a lot of good video cards for about $100.
Buying the high-end cards will only make the idle time longer, you won't notice the difference between a good card and the best card.

I do no gaming either but gaming cards offer better bang for the buck than so-called professional GPU cards.

Erm... why would you want a 295 is beyond me, but even a simple 9800GT ($100!) is more than enough for this purpose! I've got one of those and a 8600GT ($50!!!) as well - they both work very nicely with Autopano and panoramas with 5-50 images of Canon 5D.

If you're interested, here's a bit of info on the GeForce vs Quadro cards http://www.nvidia.com/object/quadro_geforce.html
In short, the gaming cards have lots of horsepower (and yes, Bo, the 295 is way more than you need for APP).
The Quadro are workstation level cards, and do many things that most people don't need to do.
Note that the pro level cards do better anti-aliasing than the gaming cards, but I don't know if that helps or hurts APP.

ok, i will check that out. thank you all for help. with this problem, i have learned a lot, so it has been good in some way. no i have to try really big panoramas, to see how my new system work.
