Re: video card help/nvidia 400 series issues?
Modo is a Open GL 3D app and according to this thread people are getting amazing sculpting performance with higher end GeForce 4 and 5 series cards as opposed to abysmal performance with various ATI cards. One person does mention that he can not get the "High Quality" viewport mode in Maya working with his GeForce 570.… -
Re: video card help/nvidia 400 series issues?
Reading about the problem on OpenGL forums seems to indicate something other than two sided lighting, they've got a benchmark that might be useful and informing to run. Check references for this section: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GeForce_400_Series#OpenGL_Problems @odium - That seems to contradict what's written in the… -
Re: video card help/nvidia 400 series issues?
I would advise ANYONE who is considering buying a 400 series card for anything but gaming to avoid it. Nvidia crippled their entire 400 series of cards to such an extent that cards two generations old routinely outperform their contemporaries when it comes to viewport performance. I was going to buy a 460 myself, but… -
Re: video card help/nvidia 400 series issues?
Wish I had read this a week ago now I'm sitting here hating life. Don't buy this card, viewports are broken in maya, 3d coat works in dx mode but not opengl. -
Re: video card help/nvidia 400 series issues?
That being the case, it sounds like a very trivial issue. zBrush doesn't do OpenGL (not sure if it even uses the GPU at all), 3dsmax's viewport supports OpenGL, but I think most people just use D3D. Games are all DX as well. So when does that issue come into play? -
Re: video card help/nvidia 400 series issues?
checked it with a few tools, including afterburner, and the "performance" plugin for the nvidia control panel stated weird ass speeds for all the components, core was set to 903 minimum (didn't even let me set the standard 725mhz my card is running with) and both shader and memory clocks were similarly out of… -
Re: video card help/nvidia 400 series issues?
A few questions: Is Tiger Direct as respectable and safe to purchase from as newegg? I've looked at the 200 series, and they are significantly slower in almost every aspect except for the core-clock. So, is a 400 card still okay to buy for 3d apps when ATI is out of the question (I've had bad experiences too, and all the…
