Hi Ross :)
thank you, so I don't have to ask NVidia. For 3D it seems to be the best
performant card of the low coast cards I found, resp. I have to take a
look at some 7 family cards but I think the 8500 is the most performant.
Most times I don't need 3D and when I need it, there is no need for a
fast card, but I'm thinking of doing 3D animations.
I have the fear, that at the moment high definition won't be fine or
some of the "highlights" listed here won't be fine for the 8500 GT:
Linux x64 (AMD64/EM64T) Display Driver
*Version: 173.14.05
Operating System: Linux x64 (AMD64/EM64T)
Release Date: 28.05.2008*
*Release Highlights
*
*[...]
*
Restored compatibility with recent Linux 2.6 kernels.
*http://www.nvidia.co.uk/object/linux_display_amd64_173.14.05_uk.html
*
I guess you are using the 64-bit version of 64 Studio, right? Which
driver do you use? Have you tested HDTV?
I have to say that I don't need HDTV at the moment, it would be okay if
just 3D is fine.
Cheers,
Ralf
