Quadro or Geforce?

[DrewH]

So sit tight and wait to see how Viz08 works? This white screen happens only when I have it in Open GL mode. When I am in direct X mode the image is very choppy (but I do not get the white screen)

Oh, why didn't you say so. You've got Vista and an older Viz version running OpenGL, there are a lot of opportunities for bugs there. Try Autodesk's forums and tech support, and try the 30-day trials of the new Viz and Max versions to see how they differ in DirectX performance.

Thanks I will try the trial version and see, at least that buys me some time till we purchase Viz08

Does Autodesk have any benchmarking software I can run for more testing?

 

Hope this helps.
