ok…here’s the situation…(by the way, thanks for the quick reply!)and the situation is…i couldn’t wait 30 days for dell to build my desktop, so i canceled the order and replaced it w/ a dell precision laptop instead. about the same specs as the desktop, but a somewhat different graphics card.about the graphics card…a tbs rep told me that nvidia quadro fx video cards, while perfect for 3d applications, slow down toon boom studio 5, which is 2d. she said it’s not opengl. she said a geforce graphics card would be better, but thing of it is, is…i need that nvidia quadro fx graphics card to run maya smoothly. so, i’m glad it’ll still work w/ tbs, but hoping this particular nvidia quadro fx model on the laptop that’s coming won’t compromise tbs!again, will you take a look-see at these specs (for the new laptop); i’m biting my nails this graphics card will work well w/ tbs, b/c the sales rep at dell says it’s opengl!!!SPECS:Dell Precision M4400Intel Core 2 Duo P8700, 2.53GHz, 1066MHz 3M L2 Cache, Dual Core4.0GB, DDR2-800 SDRAM, 2 DIMM512MB NVIDIA Quadro FX 770M250GB Hard Drive 9.5MM 7200RPM FFSWindows 7 Professional downgrade to XP Pro SP3, with mediaplease keep the new graphics card in mind in analyzing the new machine!!! thank you in advance!!!
The Geforce card would have slightly better performance but the Quadro should work fine also.
i’m going to lose my mind, is what i’m going to do!!!it would have taken dell forever to ship that last laptop, which is out of the question. i need it, and i need it now! i have several different projects going and i can’t bear to be away from my tbs! ;-)anyway, i canceled that laptop and ordered one that hopefully will get here a lot quicker. i know i’m getting on everyone’s nerves, but i need to know how this last laptop fares. i’m getting a lenovo now. here are the specs, please let me know if this laptop has what it takes to run tbs 5.btw, i realize it’s not a geforce graphics card, but i’m hoping it does the trick!http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=212654146SPECS:ATi Mobility FireGL V5700, 512 MB3GB RAM320GB Hard Drive CapacityIntel Core 2 Duo, 2.80GHzWindows XP Prothank you in advance, i really do appreciate it!!! (very last time!!!) ;D
ok…i’ve been told that ati is at the bottom of the opengl cards :’(the good news is, it should still work w/ maya 2010 (i shouldn’t even bring that up here, huh?). :-Xas long as it works, i’ll be fine w/ it. life is all about compromise.6 machines in under 4 weeks time, that’s gotta be some kinda record!my head’s spinning, i’m sticking to this last laptop if it kills me! LOLthanks for bearing w/ me! :-*
I run TBS5 on a macbook with a terrible intel GMA950 GPU, and I can tell you that TBS5 runs flawlessly. I would see no reason as to why TBS5 wouldn’t work on an nvidia quadro card.Hope this helps.
