Nvidia Quadro Mid-Range

Ok I need help for those who have the experience here with Quadro's and FireGL.

I am planning to buy a mid-range Professional Video Card because I am so pissed working with my view port whenever it pages or frames especially if there are a lot of geometries and proxies already.

Question is, it is really that of an improvement on viewing the 3D or will it help me in my workflow when modeling significantly as compared to mid-high end gamers video card?

I am not expecting the Quadro to speed up the rendering time. I am expecting it to handle the geometry while I am modeling in a smoother way or some sort.

I am planning to buy Nvidia Quadro 2000 by the way or any item that is within that price range.

Thanks in advance guys.

try mo sir nvidia quadro fx 3800.

Thanks for the reply Herald. Anybody else having an experience with Quadro Vcards?

I thinks you can try first the new 3ds max 2012.. it can handle more than 100Million plus polys & the viewport is still manageable... Im using it now, I remember one project, i had around 200illion polys..

I got my nvidia quadro 4000, previously I have an ATI video card.
I thought magiging mabilis at maganda ang navigation ko sa max pero disappointed lang ako, di naman ganun ang difference nya dude, sobrang mahal pa ng Quadro. Ewan ko lang kung paano ma-maximize yung Quadro 4000, sana may makapag share dyan, baka naman meron pa kong dapat i-adjust sa setting??? I have no clue.

I suggest try mo muna yung advice ni dude mokong, very promising talaga ang max2012 eh. Try mo bago ka bumili. Kasi yung problema kong
mabagal na navigation sa viewport di naman ganun kalaki ang nabawas nung bumili nako ng quadro eh.

Isa pa, baka yung tagal magsave problema mo rin? Script lang katapat nyan dude. Kala ko noon sa VC rin eh, laking gastos lang kung bibili ka ng Quadro, script lang ma-sosolve na to...add ko lang.

Really? I've been using max 2009 for the longest time and tried 2010 and 2011. Medyo disappointed ako sa performance ng UI and navigation and even the loading time. I'll give 2012 this weekend and see how it handles my usual scenes. Thanks for this.

I think may driver pa yan for 3ds max that needs to be downloaded in the Autodesk or Nvidia Site. Sayang naman if di ma-uutilize ng mabuti ang quadro. Or also you can use it for RT or GPU rendering natalaga.

Are there any special scripts for optimizing navigation to be specific? Or you just need to hide/unhide, display box or proxy most of the repeated geometry?

Thanks for the advice. I'll give 3ds max 2012 a shot. I am not sure if my Core 2 Quad can still handle it. Hehe...

yes sir.. maganda ang 2012... merong option iyan sir kung gusto mo iyong UI of 2009.. Go to customize and select custom UI and Defaults Switcher.. tapos sa material editor naman you can click modes then select compact material editor.. mahirap kasi yung slate...

Dude chobs, driver installed from NVIDIA.

Di ko pa na-try ang GPU rendering, yun din nga ang habol ko sa Quadro,
alam mo ba dude kung paano? Sa ngayon kasi 2011 ang gamit kong max, sa 2012 yata magagamit to eh, not sure.

Dude mokong, na-try mo na bang mag GPU?

TY

Hindi ko pa na try mag gpu rendering sir.. ilan lang yatang artist ang gumagamit nito..

I see, thanks dude mokong.

i tried the "iray" within 2012 pero marami pa ring noise and not to many options ie render elements, but there some articles about a new breed of iray next year, looking forward for it.

Hey guys. I am currently using 3ds Max 2012 and it is so far fantastic!!! Thanks for the help. The navigation is improved a lot here. Although I am a bit disappointed that the default shaded mode is in realistic shade which eats up my Vcard. But this is just minor for I can disable it anyway.

Whew! Can't stop doing 3D now. Galing galing!

Well that's good sir.. in realistic mode try making it ortho or perspective then move it around... Nalimutan ko na ah hehe.. , i think ortho in realistic shade is more handy than persective with realistic shade... Try lang sa dalawa sir..

brod mokong,paano mo ba natatanggal ang mga naka embed na arch+design materials sa ME ng max2012 e ang gamit ko kasi is vray...any idea bro?

Yung problema na yan sir micoliver1226 ay lumabas starting with 3ds max 2008, where in naka default na sa A&D yung slots ng material editor....AFAIK...well you can try this one:

Go to customize>>custom UI and default switcher

under "initial settings for tool options:" click on MAX.

Then under UI schemes, just select your color scheme of choice, i prefer to use ame-dark.

Hope this helps.

BTT:

Hope to be able to try max 2012 soon....

If you want na material editor mo is Vray na kaagad. Switch your UI to Vray either the dark and light. Most of the settings in ME or in environment and some other areas will be switched to Vray.
