quadro fx 3500

[mikeh]

new computer, 64 bit, and it has the quadro fx 3500. I'm experiencing problems with this card. I dumped the direct x 9 and went to OGL which solved a bunch of problems but now that i have installed vray, it is back to not responding....meaning no display...no useable max. The driver for it is the latest. I have set the nvidia settings to max but just making a box and adding a vray light and sky made the graphics display die. Anyone have similar experiences?

Hi mikeh.

I'm running a fx 3500 using direct x and it works fine in both
max 9 and 2008, both 64 bit, not had a problem with it.

try placing a vray sun and sky in a scene and see what happens...i get display crash with OGL settings.

@mikeh,
have you tried using the maxtreme driver? at least for some cases I have found it more reliable from both OGL and D3D

[mikeh]

the only choice i have is direct 3d or OGL...no maxtreme that i am aware of for this card.

there is no maxtreme for max 2008...just max 9.

problem solved...installed newest display drivers...new machine came with old drivers.
