What do you reccommend for a graphics card, for maya?

tariqrf 29-03-2003 12:44 AM

Ti 4600 is the perfect card for maya.. unless you could afford the FX... or a quadro...

jklaroe 29-03-2003 04:34 AM

Ok here is my upgrade list:
MSI GeFore 4 Ti4800 SE 8x/4x 128Mb DDR
1024Mb PC-2100 DDR
KDS XF-7t 17" CRT X-flat
^^ Is for a dual monitor setup. My monitor now is a XF-7b, but I couldn't find it. The only differance between the two is the button layout.

Hi charlie, my names josh. Yea they are expensive. I decided to go with a MSI GeForce 4 Ti4800SE, I was going to get a nVidia Quadro 4 750 XGL, but it was to much.

yes, but not all cards can handle the modification...so it's not always 100% sure

900 Mhz P3
128 MB Ram
VideoCard? I don´t know, it came with a 2Mb thing I guess.
SoundBlaster I think. (I got it hooked up to my stereo player)
40 Gigs HD
Big monitor from Hp (it´s an HP Pavilion model)
HP keyboard (Which means it has some fancy lights on it)
A CD Writer unit
A CD Reader unit (You know, just to make them focus on their job)

Actually they are physically the same, you just have to get the drivers to install. Here's a link on how to do it.

You may be thinking of the 9500->9700 Pro mod... Only a few of them had the capibility, and of those something like 1/3 couldn't handle it properly.

nope.. will only effect viewport speed.

cheaper and (currently)more reliable alternative - buy a ti4200 128mb(can be had for around £100), mod it to a Quadro 4 750 using rivatuner (use either 30.82 or 41.09 detonators), and enjoy Maya and any other pro opengl app running speedily as you like, with no visual artifacts/redraw glitches and above all stable as hell! :)
pic attached to prove it works (and there is no chance of any damage to your hardware, and as long as you follow the instructions ok, zero chance of failuire :)

Kal, Age of Mythology rules :D
