mu_688687 Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Hi, I couldn't understand why Max and Vray get closed when memory used increased by 3000 MB how to handle it and how to use more memory. Kindly pls help me I'm in a very big problem It seems like max is not able to use more than 3 GB even I have more than 8 Gb and 24 Gb system how to get the maximum use of Ram and Graphic card. Pls come with your views and share with me. Thanks alot. Manoj Upadhyay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Buckley Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 What Operating System are you using? Please say 64-bit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notamondayfan Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Switch to 64bit max for a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Buckley Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 yep you answered your own question Install 64-bit max, happy days. If you use a 32-bit app, you only get 32-bit performance which would explain why you are falling over at 3GB (the limit which 32-bit can work with regardless of how much you have in the system) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mu_688687 Posted October 12, 2010 Author Share Posted October 12, 2010 What's the role of Graphic Card memory does it important that it must be 1 GB or some thing like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Buckley Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 i'm not too sure but it helps the display of things on your screen/viewports, especially features such hardware shading/viewport lighting etc. The memory is very important if using GPU accelerated features such as PhysX or iRay as included with the latest Subs Advantage Pack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thablanch Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 -Do you have the Global material set to Architectural ( imported autocad/Revit stuff.) If so, get rid of that. -Make sure that you have no pure white ( 255,255,255) materials.. they can bounce to infinite.. white values should never be full 255 -Do you have displacements maps in there, they can get heavy..
