Its okay to use 7, its still a pretty good version. I am using 8 myself.

If you can get your hands on max 9 upwards it's actually a lot better optimized than the older versions and the viewports speed will be significantly faster. Might be worth checking out. Welcome to the boards.

Welcome jovanie to the max forums. U'll get here the support and help needed from the members... This I say coz i myself got help and tips from them..

You can get a pretty good video card for around 150 dollars that will run max without issues. At least for moderate scenes. Have you tried swapping over to direct 3d?.
And as Gustave says max 9 is way faster than max 7. The versions don't get more complex to run they get more optimised and new features are added. often very few new features actually.

erhm, Tyson.. i dont understand what you mean on swapping on direct 3d.??

im more on animation atm btw..
@Mods: is it okay if i post some links of DL's? for tips and tricks for tutorials in 3ds max?

Might be best to post a link to the download page rather than a direct link.

You can change the display driver in customise>preferences>change display driver. choose direct 3d instead of open GL and you may get better performance. it depends on your video card. You should also install the latest display drivers for your video card.

thx Gustave... I will post the DL links... even I myself havent DLed it yet to help myself
