J.R. Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihabkal Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 DOes that card make a difference? like when you have a scene of 3 million polygons is it easier to rotate and navigate than using the regular software engine? Do expensive cards make a difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJLynn Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 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.

J.R. Posted May 8, 2005 Author Share Posted May 8, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
