Member SYN7AX3RR0R Posted March 24, 2010 Member Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 Hey, I thought you might be interested to hear about how far 3DC went on my system. I had to convert a model that was modeled in regular methods to be 3D-printer ready. Basically have it as one watertight mesh. So I figured, I'll import everything in 3DC as voxels, perform the needed booleans, and export. In order to meet the required specs some boolean work was required . The largest piece of the bunch was 21.7 mil tris. While I was performing merging of the voxel layers and exporting the mesh I hit 7.6 GB of RAM usage. 3DC was the only open app I had. Neat, this is the most I had gotten from a single app so far. I've spent 4 days on this project, and got just a couple of crashes. The stability was great, speed of processing was also admirable. 3DC 64 CUDA 8 GB RAM 8800 GTS Q6600 win7 64 Ult Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member ggaliens Posted March 24, 2010 Advanced Member Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 How much video RAM on tha video card ??? Great that you are reporting your specs and what 3DCoat is doing for you. I had the feeling that 512GB Video ram was not enough. But I'm just not sure which to hold more dear, physical RAM or Video RAM. Annecdotal evidence from lots of users would sure help me make an informed decision on a next purchase. I'll probably go 16GB Ram and at least 2GB NVidia. We shall see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
