Hey

I'm having problems with my nvidia card if anyone has any suugestions. Its a quadro4 750, I'm getting over 15000 fps, but I get a horrible lag when using opengl applications. The problem really comes with running shake, every effect I placean effect, even a rotoshape, it takes at least 10 secounds to up the preview display. Which I don't get on lower spec systems. My home computer, running at 3083, only has a secound delay! I'm running gentoo.

Please help! I desperately have to get this sorted out, or it's good bye linux!

Thanks

Mel

OpenGL is very, very intensive for video cards. If video cards do not have high memory bandwidth and high polygon/verticies count, they will be slow. Though the objects can have reduced polygon or verticies count and still provide the same quality.

If you are using glxgears as a benchmark tool, forget it. The utility glxgears only tests if 3D rendering is working.

Consumer or gamer grade video cards are now faster than workstation cards.

Hi, thanks for your reply. I was using glxgears, i didn't realise that. Is there a tool I could use to test the memory bandwidth?

The problem is, is that our previous system was running fedora which exact same hardware. Which ran shake without a problem. However, we changed over to gentoo, and we upgraded to a higher shake version. I can't test the old version on the new system because I license and I can't even get it to install on fedora because it wants libsdtc-3.3 which I'm finding hard to trackdown.

I'm really stuck!
