[tom schuelke]

Ah percydaman,

thats the right question.

of course the demo of max 9 was impressing. But i would like to see it on my old laptop... with my noname grafic card...


if its much faster here... than its worth it..

Nice one..

On "My Road Show" the had a HP Workstation with a 2 x Dual Core Duo (so 4 buckets) and 8 GB of ram with FireGl 7300, the one with 512MB Ram on it not the one with 1GB. But overall it was pretty cool.

cool. did they show at any time, the task manager showing memory consumption, and if so, how high did they send it? No idea what OS they were running?

[muzzy]

what kind of machine did they demo it on? did they say which os? and how much memory did it have?

They showed on an old Dell laptop, nothing fancy but viewport performance was very good. Also new Mental Ray is fast and very easy to use

Tom : Definetly viewport is much faster with Direct X only , looks like discreet dumped OpenGL

They used XP. They said Vista is better, just because of some administration right issues of XP.

They stated that 64 bit Max 9 is not faster than 32 bit but has better memory management...

Are you sure? I didn't knwo there Intel Core Duo can work in Dual CPU. What mainboard can do it?

Hi Lukx

I think he was meaning about Duan Xeon 5000 and 7000 dual core system.

Should 3dsmax plugins be recompiled for 64bit version so that having a 64bit 3dsmax and 32bit vray would be like having 32bit 3dsmax & 32bit vray?

[jacksc02]

once 64bit max 9 is out the 64bit version of vray will be released
