I have a ATI FirePro MV2660 and a AMD Radeon HD 8570. I want to do 3D animation and I know that the FirePro was build for 3D rendering. The Radeon HD 8570 was made for gaming. What do I use to render stuff in blender? The FirePro is quite old but the gaming card is new. the FirePro dosen't even run on Catalyst Control Center.

What are the specifications for your system (cpu, motherboard, memory, storage devices, power supply, etc)?

Regardless, the HD8570 is the stronger of the 2 GPUs and will meet both your gaming and 3D animation needs. You should be able to use the HD8570 in Blender, as well.
