Hi Andrei, MoI does not really need the special "high end" cards - those are mainly for OpenGL programs. MoI uses Direct3D and is not as sensitive to the graphics card vendors limiting driver functions as they tend to do with OpenGL.
So because of that MoI is not as sensitive as many other CAD programs about needing a special video card.
> Or it is no matter witch Video Card use with MoI result will be the same?
Well, the raw speed of the card can make some difference - a video card with a lot more processing power on it will be able to handle a higher amount of polygons. But it's mainly the raw processing speed that you would want to look at, not whether it's a "gaming" card or "workstation" card.
Often times there are not really any differences in the video card hardware itself between these different gaming/workstation categories, it's just that the video card vendors turn off various features in OpenGL video driver on the lower price card to artificially cripple it. This sort of silly situation is one of the reasons why MoI does not use OpenGL.
But if you need to run programs that use OpenGL, those programs can benefit from running on a Quadro instead of a gaming card. But that does not really apply to MoI.
