anyone using a GTX770 with Maya?

tac0m

Hey everyone. I built a home rig a little while back (few months) and bought some of the same specs I had on my computer when I was at EA. I thought I had a GTX 770 but i can't get viewport 2.0 working at home. I am almost positive it was a 770. Has anyone bought a GTX770 and had viewport2.0 working for them?

I know it's not a supported maya2.0 card but I have read people making some cards that aren't supported work with it.

I'm using maya 2011 with an 64bit system and 32gigs of ram. Windows 7 professional

That card should work fine with Viewport 2. Are your drivers up to date? Have you tried any newer releases of Maya? Is there an option in Preferences->Display that lets you set the rendering engine for Viewport 2? Have you tried switching it?

Try reducing the number of texture maps in your scene.

I remember having a problem with the first version that had Viewport 2.0 with a GTX 560ti. Everything would be smooth and then after adding one more map, the frame rate would suddenly drop to about 2fps.

my 770 is working fine here...

Im fairly certain Viewport 2.0 had terrible support for 2011. 2012 had better support and with every release its been getting better and better.

I have the 4GB Gtx 770 and haven't experienced anything out of the ordinary. I'm using Maya 2014 though and I'm also on windows 8.1. It seems like you might have to upgrade to a new version.

Use it all the time. Never had an issue

I use a 770 GTX at work and use view port 2.0 pretty much everyday with no problems

4GB Gtx770 at home, no problems. Might be that version of viewport 2.0... it was bad

crap. i have been trying to get this to work with everyones suggestions for awhile now. I'll get the trial for 2014 and see if i get any better results.

It could definitely be Maya 2011. At work we have quadro 4000(or maybe 4500 I can't quite remember) and they can't run vp2.0 in 2011 but they work fine in 2014.

[edit] can *not run vp2.0 in maya 2011 I mean [/edit]

Viewport 2.0 really really improved with 2015. On a 780 and everything works fantastic.

A bit off topic… What max polycount you guys can have with gtx 770/780 in Maya 2014/2015 in vp2.0?

I'm thinking to buy one of these gpu but not sure if it will be enough for my modeling purposes.

For my sci-fi dude I was sitting at 2,179,923 faces in Maya2015/VP2 and everything was buttery smooth.

Actually I just opened it up right now. Without texture maps applied, I'm running at 200fps.

I'm using a much older card (550 something I think) and I right now working on a model with about 1.2mil polies and 15 3kx3k textures and it works fine with AA and AO turned on.

I do not trust maya FPS, it has never been accurate from my understanding and have been able to repro obviously broken FPS (when playing an animation the FPS readout would jump up to like 500, and then drop down to a solid 7fps but still be a smooth display when rotating/editing geo). While using other on screen FPS overlays I was able to get a much more accurate, and believable, readout.

EDIT: This is with my 4GB 770.

beefaroni

Hmm. FPS overlay is a good idea.

Regardless, I do think that 2015 VP2 is leaps and bounds ahead of the older VPs.

Running a GTX770 @ home. Works great with Maya (Viewport 2.0) and Mudbox. Never had any problems so far.

Thanks for the numbers.
With my current setup at 500k selecting and editing becomes nightmare. Huh
