Modo is a bit strange when it comes to performance, especially with Advanced GL viewport mode. For instance, I used Modo before with both a GTX 660 and 650 (both were desktop versions and had 2gb vram). The 660 had no problems, but the 650 could barely handle even the simplest of scenes.
Desktop: Core 2 Duo, 2.4ghz 4gb ddr2 800 ram Geforce 9800GTX 512mb (was running an 8600gt till recently) XP Pro 32bit Velocity Micro 21", 1680x1050 300gb WD internal HDD 500gb WD external backup HDD Intuos3 4x5 Handles most everything with ease except crysis at highest settings and mudbox after 2mil polys or so. But that's…
That was a hardware issue. Never had any issues with nvidia drivers when i was using GTX 660. New drivers came and i just downloaded and installed, but with AMD drivers it's a horror story. Last working drivers are the catalyst ones, none of the crimson drivers work with Maya and they already know this issue from their…
also for a regular building would you opt to do baking from a high poly to low or not much baking for a simple building? i am working and a building that has about 6600 tris and 3300 polys
Sounds like a i5 35xx for me, and that's pretty good. My HTPC runs on a i5 3570k and the intel graphics are quite good. edit: the price is a bad joke... 900 euro is insane, with that amount of money i buy a i7 3770k with a 660ti oc and one of the new touch monitors.
Hey! When I saw the ref I started to think how ProfessorXXX made a lot of cool crap in zbrush. If u havent checked it I recommend you http://boards.polycount.net/showthread.php?t=66390&highlight=professorXXX He made good tutorials how to made the crap in zbrush.
Edit: Ninja'd The memory is shared across the system. You won't get 2GB of video memory; both machines have a 32MB read buffer from system memory connected to one bridge. I'd like to know where Blaizer buys his hardware, because six years ago I was still using a 512mb Geforce 6600 GT on a twin Pentium 4 rig with 1gb of…
Im also getting weird result with the latest knald build. Loading a 8k normal map comes up as either a pink or black screen in knald. No error message. Thought at first maybe its just needs time to load so waited 10 mins to see. Installed and reinstalled program. Lower rez maps worked as expected. Made sure to kill all…
OK I can see I'm in the minority here lol :D I only ever watched a friends watch Borderlands briefly but I intend to give B2 a go when I get it bundled with my new 660ti.
