Hi Menno, The work that pix_drum does is done in the cpu. I would imagine openframeworks will work similarly.
I have used not so fast intel c2duo processors (2.2Ghz) with a not so big cache (3MB) and it has worked fine at 320x240 and 75fps. bigger resolutions or higher frame rates will require faster processors... best, J On Aug 23, 2011, at 12:20 PM, Menno van der Woude <[email protected]> wrote: > hello, > > related to this topic: I am also looking into buying a laptop for a > project I am doing. > I made a port of (a revised) [pix_drum] to openframeworks, then use > OSC to send info to Pd. > Pd will generate sound based on the info it receives. > > I am wondering: is there a big difference for this and similar tasks > between i5 and i7 processors? > It's a big price difference, and if results for graphics and sound > tasks are the same I will prefer i5... > > Also, how are things going with using Nvidia graphics? > Using 3D will not be necessary at this moment in this project, but I > may wish to do so in the future. > Since I look into buying something like Asus X53SV, it is relevant. > > Bye, > menno > > On Thu, Aug 18, 2011 at 5:56 PM, cyrille henry <[email protected]> wrote: >> hello, >> >> i'm using an ATI on ubuntu for a project. >> >> It's mainly working (good screen configuration, shaders are ok, etc). >> the only problems are : >> - error on pd log at every frame. >> - crash when destroying the gem windows... >> >> so, ATI will certainly be a good option in the future. >> >> >> >> For now, a solution to control optimus on linux look to work for some >> computer, but it's still is very young. >> Nvidia still provide driver for there card. >> >> >> >> Having to install a kernel that is released after the hardware to use is not >> really a surprised, imo. >> >> Cyrille >> >> >> >> Le 18/08/2011 17:37, John Harrison a écrit : >>> >>> I'm a little confused about the problem.
