Re: Should I change my graphic card? 2005-05-18 - By T.Hopkins7@(protected)

Hi,
I have a AMD processor, 786 MB of memory, 100 GB hard drive (since I added one)
and a GeForce FX 5200 as you do and I can tell you it's the graphic card. I
need a new graphic card. I would not go beneath 256 MB on a graphic card, but
performance wise I miss my ATI card but I had to return it because it did not
work with my new installed Windows Pro XP SP2. But I do have freezes all the
time with Vue 5 Infinite especially and others such as rendering animations in
Carrara 4. I need a whole new computer because my processor is too old to load
my Adobe Premiere on. Technology changes faster then my pocketbook.

How much does your card have memory? memory is divided between
geometry and textures. Sudden slow down may indicate that your
graphics card run out of buffer memory. Hide things you don't need
to see all the time by using visible in 3d -property and see if it
helps.
Other than that, get more memory. Go for 2gb if you can afford.

facets it becomes very slow in Assemble Room (OpenGL, Flat rendering
mode), other rooms or if I view certain grouped objects only are
still acceptably fast. My system is AMD Barton 2600+, 512MB Ram, and
GeForce FX5200. Where's the bottleneck? My CPU, my graphic card or
Carrara itself?
