3ds max應該用邊種display card？

[CTW]

我想買張新display card,主要用max、photoshop、autocad做效果圖,也有小小動畫,而我不打機的,我想買quadro,其實max用quadro快還是 Geforce快？

[h2o]

睇你想就 autocad 定 max 多, autocad 用 openGL 好 d d, max 就 directx only.

quadro

quadro 對番同級既 geforce 價錢會貴一倍, 但 performance 只系多 20% .... 因為 quadro 對 openGL 優化左, 而 max 主要 support directx, 行 openGL 反而冇咁著數

行 8800 GT 仲好過 quadro fx 570, 當然依家買 9 字系列更好


睇番 nvidia quadro 既 test data 都會發現, quadro display card 每上一級, 行 autocad, solidworks, maya 都會快 60-80%, 但 max 只系快 20-30%, 呢個系因為 max 既核心系用 directx 黎寫, 所以 max 唔可以 support 其他 platform 就系咁解, 因為 directx 某程度同 Windows 鎖死左

thx for detail explanation...
8800 GT is a better choice under a low budget.

但 max 只系快 20-30%, 呢個系因為 max 既核心系用 directx 黎寫, 所以 max 唔可以 support 其他 platform 就系咁解, 因為 directx 某程度同 Windows 鎖死左

I'm not sure about this, 3dsmax was developed before directX existed. Plus you have option to switch between directx and opengl. I know max is "optimized" for directx, but my real life experience is, you should switch the setting to opengl in order to getting a MUCH better performance with a quadro card.

有幾個 fd 都講過 max switch 左去 openGL mode 反而唔 stable, 佢地 quadro fx 570, 3700 都有

問番 autodesk 都叫佢地用 directx 穩陣d

[stantang]

I have a file which has 6 million polygon, it takes 5-6 hours to do a shaded preview with directx, but only takes 40 mins with opengl. Both on XP 64bit with a quadro fx 560. Been working on this project for over a month, I think it's pretty stable. Again, I'm speaking on my real life experience.

All I can say is it isn't true that max is locked to directx, but it should run better in directx with a directx card. If you have a opengl card like quadro, you still have a choice to switch to opengl.

[h2o]

haha 佢地有幾廿個 plugin, 可能個d 出事


補充: autodesk 系叫佢地買張 high performance 行 directx 既打機 card

[h2o]

I'm not sure about this, 3dsmax was developed before directX existed. Plus you have option to switch between directx and opengl. I know max is "optimized" for directx, but my real life experience is, you should switch the setting to opengl in order to getting a MUCH better performance with a quadro card.

咁多只 3d software 入面, 以行 directx 既 performance 黎講, max 系好d & 快d. 事緣唔知邊年, 有傳聞話佢地同 microsoft 有個 deal, microsoft 開放左部分既 source 俾佢地 (我唔 sure 系咪 autodesk 收購左 max 之後), 方便佢地 optimize & 開發 game 那方面既野.

亦有傳言當年既 deal 就系要 max lock 死 windows platform only. 所以 autodesk 要有只 3d software 行 multi-platform 的話, 唔可以用 max, 所以.... 之後大家知咩事啦.

我o既經驗系行directx 好過openGL,
買geforce經濟o的又夠用.

[ed209]

QUADRO 定 geofrce? 你會打機既就 geforce 啦, 抵屌d . xfx 既 9600gt 有zalman fan 既唔錯, 又涼. 4x度左右. 而家又平

點解3d max 冇其他 platform, 有傳講系visual c++ 上 develop , 堅定流不詳.

- 完 -

[sobig]

咁買Geforce啦....
用open GL or directx,
buy左張card, 自己試下就知

[h2o]

其實我都想知 geforce 既 card, 用 directx 行幾百萬個 polygons 有冇問題?

stantang 用 quadro card, 一定要行 openGL 啦. 但同級既 geforce card 應該系 8600.... 卦, 唔知 display 咁多 polygon 得唔得呢.

成日覺得 openGL 系好d, 可能系因為 quadro 3700, 5700 完全冇對手卦

[stantang]

I will be able to test out the 6 million file with a geforce 9600 soon with DirectX. Will update you guys.
