Nvidia GeForce GPUs

There are many cards based on GeForce GPU chipsets. Nvidia and Autodesk do not recommend these cards for use with Maya as you may experience various refresh, display and stability problems and inadequate performance. We suggest you choose from Nvidia's workstation cards instead, such as the Quadro families which are much better suited to high-end 3D packages such as Maya.

I'm using an Nvidia Geforce in my laptop, and it's doing very well with Maya. Hm

Yeah, both of those posts are true. I know that I've got a Geforce, and until the most recent driver update, I'd have to swap between four views and one view several times before the system would display right. But with the latest version - it's all good. Man, it was irritating trying to get that to work - I lost way, way too much time fighting with my hardware.

The kicker is that the workstation line are always more expensive. Buggers.
