MAXTREME Drivers slow and crashing?


Recommended Posts

I have a Quadro FX3400 and installed the Maxtreme 7.00.03 using MAX7SP1. Of course I expected a performance gain, but instead, when it comes to heavily textured scenes and you switch from wireframe to solid mode MAX crashes. I made a test with 2 million+ polyscene with a lot of textures: with direct3d 9.0c you can still move around with a reasonable framecount. when I use MAXTREME-Drivers I can only use Wireframe-mode without crashing and with a terrible framecount of under 1 frame per second (Speed-Settings). Am I missing something? Does anyone have similar problems? The only benefit using maxtreme-drivers would be coloring your background pink and showing some fog? I thought these Drivers where optimized for using Max and not worsenized?

Expensive cards do make a difference. That's why they're expensive but people buy them anyway :)

 

Try downgrading to Maxtreme 6 - 7 is pretty new, it might be a bug in the software. 2-3 million polys isn't all that much, your stuff should be able to handle it.

The downgrading didnt help. so its not the driver-version. As I just read on CG-Talk other people have similar problems. someone wrote that the maxtreme-drivers make use of the HEIDI subsystem like in old max-versions?? maybe having a dual-board is causing the problems and not the graphicscard? I have a Dual-Xeon 3,4 GHZ ASUS-Board, 2 GB RAM, QUADRO FX 3400. WINXP SP2, newest NVIDIA-Drivers. 3DSMAX 7 SP1.
