I'm not sure about that. Actually the 2nd card is not used (I check the load with nvidia inspector). I try to force the use with CUDA in the Nvidia control panel, but did'nt work. But we'll see in the future what's happen.

I would like to understand better how 3DCoat can take advantages of more than one CUDA card on the PC. I have actually two GPU (one quadro FX580 for display and one GTX470) one of them not connected to the display and used only for GPGPU computation (octane rendering in my case). I'm using only CUDA capabilty of the FX580 actually? Thanks Luca

How much of your GPU does CUDA use while sculpting?
falcon76 replied to mocaw's topic in General 3DCoat
I have two CUDA video card: Quadro FX580 and Geforce GTX470. The Quadro is attached to the Monitor and the Geforce not, I use it only for GPU rendering (Octane for now). Can 3D Coat use the second card for calculation, or it just technically impossible? I haven't tried yet the difference between CUDA vs non CUDA and Quadro vs Geforce. Some experience? -
Hey man for sure we already do it! But why not have something similar to the external editor for 2D? Have you tryed it? Don't you find useful? It should be nothing more than an exporter for the camera, the object and the maps....

YES! +1 for me.

3DC Crashes after installation of GTX-480
falcon76 replied to Mazak's topic in SOS! If you need urgent help for 3DCoat
Will the new version use CUDA Toolkit 3.0 or 3.1? From now on with more CUDA app will be created can be a problem..... (for now only 3DCoat and Octane for me) -
GTX4xx will be the next generation Nvidia grapjhic cards. They are rebranding again their old card 8800gtx --> 9800 gtx --> gts 250 --> gts 350. I'm waiting for Fermi but indeed it's a shame!

I was just thinking about how great if Silo development was just like 3DCoat By far they ( Pilgway ) have the best support & functionality = it's fast and 100 % customizable ! I hope Nevercenter will go in this direction Just a joke.....

Thanks a lot, you confirm my feelings. Probably the best things to do for me is to buy an used GTX 260, waiting for the upcoming GT300 on January/February. Regards Luca

Are you sure about December? Actually they are very in late with their card. I'm in the same situation, I want a new computer before Xmas and probably I'll go with an ATI 5870 waiting for OpenCL. But I will prefer Nvidia.... Luca

Concerning: Please Read!! - Forum Reputation System
falcon76 replied to polyxo's topic in General 3DCoat
I normally don't use this system, but today I try to give a negative vote, the first, and the system said that I have already reach my negative quote for today. It's not right! ;-) For positive ones work fine. I respect the opinion of the administrator, but in my opinion it was better to remove it. my two cents. Luca -
Usually I was with you, but now I have to wait at least January/February and there are no benchmark yet on the new generation. I NEED to change my actual PC (Pentium 4 HT with nvidia 6800GT)....

I want to buy a new computer before the end of the year. Until two week ago I had no doubt about my new video card. Nvidia next generation. But after the last presentation (one very impressive (ATI), the other just a paper launch with FAKE video card (nvidia)) I was very confused. My choice is pending toward ATI 5870 (I'm not a pro and professional video card are tooooo expensive). CUDA was a reality in program like 3D Coat, but OpenCL is the future (convergence). Is there is already a time frame for the porting? How are ATI driver with 3D Coat (I had always nvidia card and the driver was quite good)? DirectX 11 tesselletion (hardware in ATI card not in Nvidia) can be used in program like 3D Coat? Thanks Luca

Very nice as always! Max, can I ask you if direct painting over low poly is working as you expect? Thanks Luca
