Dual Processor & 64 MB Video PC?


Recommended Posts

My company is looking to buy a new computer for creating realistic 3D models for clients. They are buying it specifically to run RenderWorks on, and the question is to buy dual 1.5ghz or single 2.0ghz w/ 64mb video card. I've seen a few mentions on dual processors not working with VW8.5 and one that says that they do. I'm wondering if VW9.01 benefits from a dual processor setup.

Right now I'm running on a 1ghz 512MB/32MB Video card, and I have files that average 50mb, and I am getting some serious slow down. I want to be able to show the clients the models in OpenGL in a real time mode, as well as quick renders. As of right now I run into problems rendering. On some files I can render using OpenGL, but any time I render with Final Quality/Fast/Custom Renderworks, it renders a blank screen.

Dear hairball_grfx:

At this time VectorWorks still does not perform any differently with dual processors than with single processors. With files the size you are describing it will be difficult to find a machine that will render quickly and effortlessly.
