Thanks for the tip - I will try it today!
Having just gotten off the phone with 3d Labs (they have been extrodinarily good to me in the past) I have come away with the impression that the problem could be with the fact that although my Gainward card sports the NVIDIA TI-4600 chip set, the card was really designed for games. Be that as it may, the focus in designing such a card apparently is on "fill-rate" or how fast the graphics engine can fill up the entire screen with the next image. Additionally, this is done using "Direct-X" protocol as well as with architecture that is designed around that task. I am told that Lightwave on the other hand makes extensive use of "open-GL" protocol and therefore has some issues in dealing with "Direct-X". I was also told that cards designed for use with both CAD and 3D applications focused more on creating and moving "pixel-perfect" images while maintaining the visual integrity of surfaces and textures.
3D labs has made some specific recomendations to me and offered to let me take one of their cards on a test drive (through my dealer). So I guess I will be subjecting the situation to the "acid-test" and hopefully put it to rest once and for all.
Anyone out there have any additional thoughts?
