Member Crystal Noir Posted September 21, 2009 Member Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 Hi all, I wonder : I have a ATI 4870 HD, but I don't know if it's better to use Dx ou Gl with it ? I tried both but I didn't notify difference. What do you think about ? It appears that the dx version runs more quickly if I believe severals threads in this forum, but it is the same with ATI graphic cards ? Can we expect an optimization (like cuda for nvidia) for ATI graphic cards ? i'm running on Windows 7 32 bits but I will change in few time for the 64 bits edition with 5 Go RAM. Thx here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thx here I have an ATI 2600 HD, Dx is faster, but when sculpting or rotating it can be slightly laggy, so I use GL since it's consistent. I loose only about 5 frames per second anyway, so the difference isn't noticeable. In Vista, I find that 3D Coat actually runs faster with Aero on... amazingly. Since you have a different card, processor bit depth, and operating system, it might be a different story. I recommend trying and recording the frames per second with and without Aero, and in both modes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member Ghostdog Posted September 23, 2009 Advanced Member Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 I have ATI 4850 and don't notice much of a difference between GL/DX modes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
