Lineage — Fri, 15 May 2009 11:43:21 +0800

as title, is it play video need to see what GPU we using?
my situation, i use same video, 1920 x 1080..and use same codec, k-lite mega codec pack 4.82..
i play in a PC with NVIDIA® GeForce® 9300M GS notebook graphics processing unit (GPU)(Motion Reality HD equiped) and a pc with intel onboard graphic card Intel GMA 3100..
the one with intel GPU cannot play the video..but the one with Nvidia can play..
and 1 more thing i feel weird is..i try to change another player(Qvod player), it can be play..
so i want to ask is it k-lite codec using GPU to render the video?
how to configure it use CPU instead of use GPU to play video?

Building CPU for 3Ds work

Lineage — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 22:08:37 +0800

Hi all, i wanted to build a CPU for heavy 3D usage, i want to render 2 or more 3D at the same time..my budget will be 2k-2.2k..please advice..
sometimes i render..an error saying that memory not sufficient..i don't know how i only can render..the only way i did is put lesser things..but make my design not nice..
as i research, 3ds max 2009 is using CPU to render and not using GPU..is it true? quad core will be better or core 2 duo will be enough?

3Ds max 6

Lineage — Sun, 07 Dec 2008 23:22:50 +0800

i got a few questions regarding to the 3d software..anyone using or use before??
after i done my design, i render, everytime i put the resolution over 1000, it sure come out not sufficient memory to render...after that i resize the resolution to smaller, it can render...then when i render my final work, it cannot render already although i use whatever resolution..it rendering half way and pop up not sufficient memory to render..is there anything wrong?? 2GB ram cannot render?
after that, i try to move it into my friend laptop which using 4GB ram and running vista also cannot finish render..
it is i need to use 64 bit windows or mac and put 8GB ram to render??

my PC spec:
intel c2d t5500 1.66ghz(seems its enough for that, because i'm monitoring task manager when rendering)
2GB RAM (used up all when half way render)
nvidia geforce go 7300 (got use when im rendering?? )
