SoftFireGL rocks for Maya

I just modified my 9700 pro to a X1 and the improvement is very important especially in wireframe mode. I went from 45 to 85 fps on the 3D test.
Amazing!

Hey

I'm looking at getting a 9700 for use with Maya
I was wondering before you modded it did you have any graphic issues, like weird things happening when painting weights etc
Thanks a lot

I don't have to complain about the card.
It's been running very well (As well as a geforce 4), and now with the softfireGL, I think it's comparable to a good workstation card. I had a fireGL 8800 before and it was way slower than what I have now.
The only problem is that when you use the fireGL drivers, most games don't work anymore. I don't care, but some people might.

What about image quality, overlays planes, paint fx, etc...
In my country(France) the Radeon and Quadro 4 750 are almost the same price, i'm a little shared between these two cards. any advice?

yes but does it assist in rendering frames and can smedge useit whe it renders
i still just get 'use all available processors'
i thought it would say 'would you liek to use you cpu or your VPU to render,, or both!
some how i thought that it would give me feed back on how the card was assisting with rendering
its a new machine and the renders are faster
but is it the main board or the graphics card?

As far i know gfx boards are not required in the software rendering process...

only if you are hardware rendering

I got the same card as yours. How do you use the FireGL driver? What do you need?
I got the Rivatuner thingy, but I haven't quiet figured out how and where to install the drivers...any help?
