Hello
I am new in this forum, i have used 3ds max over 4 month and i am a student.

I did buy a Sapphire HD 5770 1gb, and I do get low fps in viewport, but not in perspective mode, what can the problem be, my last was XFX 8800gts 320mb.

my pc spec
Sapphire HD 5770
amd 64 x2 6400 + 3,2 ghz
4 gb memory
asus m3a
psu 750 W
and w7 64

I just put together a new system for Max 2010 and Adobe.  (Remember, I just upgraded from a PIII system to a i7 system. It is night and day working in Max now.) The video card is just a XFX 5750 1 GB card. It does pretty well at 2 million polygon model and speedy in Mudbox.  The only reason I got that low end 5000 series, I am waiting for nVidia new cards to come out in 2010.

In your case, maybe a driver update?

i7 motherboard
XFX 5750 1 GB video card w/ ATI 8.6 driver
4GB memory
Windows 7 professional 64bit

Cheers,

for viewport speed xp 64 is the best. win7, like vista has dx10 capable gfx problems. “solutions” are not using dx10 card or not using vista/w7. that or not having more than 100k poly scenes.. which is not that hard… for me.

if you need denser scenes, or rather, if you need viewport manipulativability with denser scenes, you need xp.

Ideas drift like petals on the wind. You have only to lift your face to the breeze.

hey,

as eodeo says i have read max 2010 has had some dx 10 issues.

I am using an i7 settup with a low end nvid GFX card with no issues with viewport slow down. I too am a student with the 2010 eductaion suit using both max 2010 amd win 7 64 bit.

To change what graphics mode max displays open the ‘change graphics mode’ program which auto installed for me on c: when installing max.

here you can easily change the graphics driver set up while happily using an i7 and a high end card.

Hope you reslove your issue.
