Re: Graphic cards, OpenGL and DirectX

Hey Sebastien, do you have an SSD in your laptop? What do you install in it to speed up your work: Windows, 3d apps, or your 3d files? Or perhaps all of them? On 2015-11-05 15:32, Sebastien Sterling wrote: You probably where already considering this, but go with ssd for your hard drive, it

Re: Graphic cards, OpenGL and DirectX

Oh i forget this, CUDA cores are very important for GPU rendering and simulations (dynamic and particles). Try to buy a graphic with more CUDA cores, for example GTX970 has 1664 cores and GTX960 has 1024 cores so with GTX970 you will have around 40% more performance than GTX960 in rendering and

Re: Graphic cards, OpenGL and DirectX

In my experience Quadros have better OpenGL performance, so if you buy a GeForce and the software allows you to choose between DirectX and OpenGL like 3D Coat, DirectX would probably be the best choice. Another thing that I've noticed is that Photoshop CS6 GPU acceleration deactivates itself with

There is the alienware one with the external GPU options. Havent had any experience with their laptops though. I suspect they are rather pricey -Original Message- From: David Saber [mailto:davidsa...@sfr.fr] Sent: 05 November 2015 01:29 PM To: softimage@listproc.autodesk.com Subject:

Thanks guys for the informative discussion! I'd like to purchase the ROG G752as soon as it's out: https://rog.asus.com/446192015/g-series-gaming-laptops/asus-republic-of-gamers-announces-rog-g752-gaming-laptop/ , the cheapest version has the Nvidia GTX 965M, good choice? Thanks, David

Re: Graphic cards, OpenGL and DirectX

2GB GDDR5 VRAM is a little limiting but for a laptop is a great choice. And it's a great looking laptop  On Thu, Nov 5, 2015 at 6:32 PM, David Saber wrote: > Thanks guys for the informative discussion! > I'd like to purchase the ROG G752as soon as it's out: >

Re: Graphic cards, OpenGL and DirectX

Nvidia seems to be the flavor in most places, i wonder if the difference is between their buisness range Quadro cards and there gaming range GeForce/Titan, the later which i imagine being gaming cards would have to be good at dealing with directX... On 5 November 2015 at 11:28, David Saber

Re: Graphic cards, OpenGL and DirectX

Opengl performance really isn't neutered in modern Nvidia cards and when it comes to dedicated graphics in a laptop, their GeForce M cards are the only option anyway. They are good too. The newest generation of mobile GPUs from Nvidia is much closer to their desktop counterparts than previous
