i want to be a little more precise .. i've seen there's drivers available that support maya, the question is rather if the software will natively support twin cards. i don't understand properly if the GPU load balancing is done by maya or the operating system.. ? would that native support even...
hi .. i am using maya which has about the same needs as 3ds max ..
is there any hope that ATI crossfire is supported by our favourite 3d app, using the new fire pro cards ? there's a sync board available too, would this help ?
no, no ! it's really great you guys mention those problems. i don't want to make a mistake here ! your opinions are worth gold .. no platin ! i'll look at those atis again ..
i got an other rather important question ..
if i decided to buy one of those nvidia 5800 monsters .. would it actually work with my mainboard ?
i got a intel bad axe 2 : http://www.intel.com/design/mo...bd/bx/bx_available.htm
the card has pci-express 2.0 .. but is that software or...
i'd use maya (3d modeling) ..
i've heard HP also produce some quadros ..
i hope those 4 gig cards get cheaper soon ! :-(

else than just for display purposes, i am waiting for a solution to render (non-realtime) images directly on the GPU, like nvidia's gelato, which died some...
hi.
i am thinking about buying a better graphics card for 3d modeling (not gaming). now nvidia quadro fx is the chipset of desire, but i've seen both Nvidia and PNY sell graphics cards with those chipsets.
so what's the difference if i buy a PNY instead of an original Nvidia card ?
any...
sweet... 8 GPUs ... :)
actually i've been searching on GPU computing a little in the past too. well. there's only one big problem: software's not adapted. and ordinary software cannot be speeded up with GPUs.
i mean there are renderers around like gelato...
yep... watercooling's cool... but the maintenance and risks (more elements that are able to fail) are a little higher. my main system is in a thermaltake (prebuilt watercooling) case and i had no problems so far with my Q6700 2.66 @ 3.3 GHz.
just when having a farm you cannot have all...
i've seen one of the threads searching on my own. so thanks for the other one. :)
it's so tough to choose a rig though. there are so many possible rigs to buy and i'd like to go for components that let me OC for sure up to 3.6 even if i had to run a lot cooler for stability's sake.
by the...
it seems the cheapest overall solution is always q6600 based with overclocking. how far can the quad q6600 be overclocked with just fans or an active copper sink?
