Max 2015 viewport performance and back face Culling

[Smalerbi]

In older versions of Max, Editable poly objects could be a little slower in viewport. Max versions 2014+ have many more optimizations for poly objects and the difference is really not an issue. Are you still getting that performance hit within 2015?

The Quadro 5000 card is fully DirectX 11 compatible, so I don’t know why you are not able to get that working correctly in 2015. I would start with changing drivers for the Quadro card and trying out a few different versions. They latest drivers are not necessarily the “best” drivers.

I would guess to think that Max 9 is a favorite for many of the older generation of users. That was one of the last mature releases of Max before they started reworking the core program over the next 5 years. I think that with 2016, you can really start to feel the maturation process of Max and it’s really starting to hit it’s stride now. I really enjoy working with 2016 right now.

Yes…I’m getting the performance lag in 2015 with regards to Editable Poly objects. As for the DirectX 11 option…the problem I’m having are brief moments of intermittent screen freezing, just for a split second when rotating around objects, panning etc. It’s feels like the video card is waiting for information but I do not have this problem with 9.
