Hi,
I’ve currently got an i7 CPU and 12 GB RAM,
Windows 7 64 bit and a ATI FirePro V3800 (FireGL),
My question is, would buying a new graphics card
with CUDA-enabled or even installing a second CUDA-enabled card (a pair of same
card) give faster previews and/or final renders (OpenGL enabled) for 2D
animations?
Currently, when doing 2D only animations, assets mainly large
.psd files and using Puppet-Pin tool (perhaps a 3D camera but no 3D-objects or
3D-effects) it seems faster to select Adaptive Resolution, OpenGL off, using
only the i7 cores and RAM.
My goal is to not have to wait so long for a
preview, to work faster.
Also, how come scrubbing (Ctrl + LMB) is so fast
(feels like real-time) but when doing a RAM-preview, it’s so slow? (like having
to wait for audio mixing before it actually starts to render preview). I’d just
want it to be like scrubbing but at a constant speed.
