so my V card died and i stole my kids 6870 gamer card ATI yuc. till my card comes back.
 i have 16 gigs of ram already. so the 2gigs on the card, isnt helpful.
but i leads me to ask if there is any change idea for better performance with diffent cars since everyone has differnt cars,is there was to utilise the memory sonar uses to keep my lag down
 like on gaming rig .when you can use  2 cards 1 for physic use and 1 for the base program.
can you make all those high end plug ins, that slow down my daw to run away from my project
or am i waisting 10 min typing about a useless topic.
 is there anything i should know about vid cards and there use with sonar
 like good buffer changes and highend tweeks to help lower the overhead on large project 40 tracks and more, i dont think it matters at all, but its worth the post to know if im missing somthing
 no i dont use sonar for video edit i use adobe
64 bit win7 delta1010 16 gigs ram with a AMD 6 core on a 990 fx

SONAR and Windows 7  use the video card so of course you want to use a good one!
I use this, killer graphic. 2GB RAM and best thing you can run and use up to 4 screens on one card. Note it's total silent!! You can't hear the fan even under load! 
 
ASUS GT640-2GD3. Has the power to run the most games too but not the heavy one.

You can buy an even more expensive from 600 series if you want!

 I don't think Crossfire or SLI will be of any help and more of a hindrance with your DAW. Physics, originally developed by agea, as far as video cards go, deals with the particle count in some supported games nothing of benefit there for making music. For video card recommendation, if you're not using the HDMI output, I would go with an older card that doesn't have the onboard audio device that nVidia are using now. Reason is I tried 2 newer NV cards ,with HDMI ,that conflicted with my old Delta 1010lt. I went with a 9800GTX, you can get them from ebay for about $50

ya i run 3 monitors and hate having to go back to 1. love to spread out my daw
and sonar loves 3 monitors, im a undocking fool.
i was wondering if the lanes since they are auto zoom now. will one day be undockable,
 freddie what are your buffers set at for record and playback
 just wonder if i can go higher and not brake somthing
 does that buffer cause a spike in CPU use. with 16 gigs it seems it could be higher

 dropouts are now a thing of the past. just ran my biggest project 57 tracks and record some live vocals on the fly without a hitch.
so 2 cards makes sonar drop out. some driver conflict who cares i asked and  the sonar gods and they answered
ohgrant i love you. id hug you right now,
 

  Glad you got it working bro, real nice looking machine you have there.
