musickent Posted November 28, 2002 Author Share Posted November 28, 2002 I am looking forwards to LEO's result-sheet . Is it possible to rate those graphics cards for Houdini? I need to balance them to the budget of mine. Now with RAEDEON 9700, the Houdini doesn't crash but often no responding--die in silence. So, I have to save the file very much frequently... sigh.....anyway, better than at school. crashing all the time without any sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEO-oo- Posted November 29, 2002 Share Posted November 29, 2002 @musickent: Our result-sheet is global (specView, 3Dmark, CineBench). But if you guys have special requests and suggestions, please tell us. We have still the boards here in the office. I think we can manage some. @Stremik: Sad but true - the Parhelia have the last place over all. The board have some benefits (support for 3 screens), but the 3d-results are not so good. What format for the sheet do you prefere: PDF, HTML? LEO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danteA Posted November 29, 2002 Share Posted November 29, 2002 I'm also very interested in seeing the results. Either will be fine, Leo. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEO-oo- Posted December 3, 2002 Share Posted December 3, 2002 Hi Folks! Finally we got all together - here is the PDF. Some notes: 1. Prices and warranty are for Germany only - please look at you local dealer. 2. We did not got all specs by the manufactures. 3. Sorry for the really small format of the table - maybe you can print it oversized. If you have any questions - please contact us. Cheers Tom (aka Tekknokid) and LEO GPUs_english.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Z_S] Posted December 3, 2002 Share Posted December 3, 2002 New user in this forum: tekknokid @musickent: For the Radeon 9700 Problem. Use the newest driver version xxx.6200 and run Houdini. With older versions i had the same problem like you. After an update - the problems are gone. Hope that helps Tom My config: Dell PC @ 2,53 GHz 512 MByte DDR-RAM Gigabyte Maya R9700Pro WinXP Pro Houdini Apprentice (yes I'am a newbie - but leo teach me well) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Z_S] Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 So are you saying Houdini runs well on a 9700 now? Do me a favor, create a grid that has 100x100 subdivisions, apply a sculpt SOP and tell me how well it works with the new drivers. It was horrendous on the old 9700 drivers I used, but runs perfectly fine on a GeForce 3. Updates are instantaneous. @Mcronin: Sure it works. Quite smooth - no problems. We have test it right now. If there is still any problem, please pass me your configuration. I will try to help. Tekknokid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyb Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 hello Tekknokid My config is: P4, WIN2000 pro, 1gig ddr ram, and a Radeon 9700 pro graphics card Service pack 3 and the latest Ati 9700 pro CATALYST 3.0 drivers. It's painfully slow. I can't believe a $600 card can suck so much at openGL. any suggestions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
