Does anyone use AMD card with Softimage ?

Post by Caveman » 02 Jun 2012, 14:26

:D Does anyone use AMD gaming card with Softimage? Please tell. I have an AMD card on one of my PC and it is giving me some weird problems with the tweak component tool. To be precise I can't move one of the tangents (probably the back handle) of any of the bezier knot with the tweak component tool. Also the bezier handles break by default when I use the tweak component tool to move a knot, which is annoying.

If any one is using AMD card with Softimage and is not facing any trouble please tell me which version of driver you are using.


Please Please Please :ympray: :ympray: :ympray:

I'm running a HD 5850 with:

Driver Packaging Version 8.951-120308a-135594C-ATI
Catalyst Version 12.3
Direct3D Version 7.14.10.0894
OpenGL Version 6.14.10.11566

I ran into a lot of problems when I installed the update to Catalyst Version 12.4, so I went back to 12.3.

I have no issues with 12.3.s

Actually, I've had great results running AMD cards. I never have the issues all the NVIDIA folks have.

@Caveman - Are you sure the problems you experience are graphics card related?
What version of Softimage are you using? I seem to recall all kinds of "small-ish"
annoyances with tangent handles in the 2012 generation...
:-?
Stay safe, sane & healthy!

@ Inisheer Thank you so much for the information. Cleaned the previous drivers and installed 12.3. And it completely solved the problem. I really love to use the Tweak Component Tool on Bezier Curves. :)

@Hirazi Blue I suspected although I was not 100% sure. But after installing the CCC 12.3 it solved the problem. Really weird problems.


edit- This is amazing. The selection delay is gone completely. Instant selection of thousands of poly, wow. Wonderful driver :-o .
