Well here's the passmark CPU benchmark numbers: e6550 - 1454 q6600 - 2966 - $190 new on ebay, ~$75 used on ebay I5 2500/K - 6745 - $210/$220 I7 2600/K - 9095 - $300/$325 So the Q6600 would be a decent upgrade if you're short on cash, but the 2500K at ~$200 plus a $100 mobo and $50 for 8gb of ram would be a much better…
Quadros are really really expensive video cards that are great at doing things like.... anti-aliased wireframes for complex CAD applications. When it comes to games related stuff, running realtime engines, shaders, etc they get outperfomed by even an average "gamer" card. You'de have to buy a $2000 quadro to get the same…
Yep, electric outlets here are supposed to always be 230V +/- 10% at 50hz. Most outlets run 220. All of those voltages you listed would indeed work fine, the 110/250 also because I think that means a 'minimum of 110 and max of 250' rather than 110 OR 250. Make sure you pick up an adapter that has some sturdy pins on it,…
For those interested I think this is the ranks with the number of posts required (confirmation required) 0 null 25 vertex 50 line 100 spline 250 triangle <------ RAPTORCWS has proved this wrong. Maybe 200? 500 polygon 750 polycounter 1300 dedicated polycounter 1900 card carrying polycounter 2500 veteran polycounter…
hmm £130 = $210 (CAN) for a 1.5k hamster model... I am really interested in the quality bar for this model. It definitely is on the lower end price range, even though its a very simple model... was rigging required as well? Depending on Rigging + Quality Bar / Art Direction this should be minimum 2 day job max 3 day job…
Buy what you want now, within reason(don't buy super high end stuff, the price curve always represents a terrible value). No reason to save $50-150 or so just to skimp on something you really wanted, don't buy into the "upgrade later" mentality, just buy what you want now and forget about it for a few years. I've built too…
Hi, I'm animating a Deck of cards for a client and trying to use WireParameters to bend the deck in a way in which, by the time the card reaches it's maximum bend the the other cards behind bend slightly more as they push each other back. The problem I have as I'm not great with expression etc, is that if I set up the wire…
