AMD 1.73 ghz
Radeon 9700 32 mb 512 mb RAM Direct X 9 Win XP --- Problem is, that when modelling something more complex than cube, it takes seconds to select a single vertice, and moving/scaling/etc takes AGES. I can live with it, but its annoying.

It's the Radeon. I know some people get them working but let me tell you get rid of that evil card and get an nVidia.
One of the guys in my blender course is selling his new Radeon 9800 only because of Blender. That's what I call a Blenderhead...

Gnah, it worked fine with 2.28.
:/ Plus nVidia gives me headache with games, especially with monoliths.

It's a shame. I think all us blenderheads should flood ATi support with mails about this. ATi-cards are incredible cards for games, don't cheat as much as NVidia to gain performance and I believe the they also have better VGA (2D) quality, but OpenGL and Linux-support are just bad. It's probably the same crap as with the voodoo3, which doesn't implement the OpenGL specification completely, to reduce driver-development costs. That's just evil.

Well, ATI cheats just as much as nvidia, and even hardware-wise they cheat (with internal conversions to 16-bit instead of doing things in true 24 or 32-bit colour), etc....
ATI drivers just do not stand up to nvidia's, and it has been like this for years.

When you look at screenshots, Nvidia cards tend to mess up their texture-filtering more. But nvidiadrivers do seem more complete. |

Even though we are going off-topic, check this site for some texture filtering comparisons:
http://www.skenegroup.net/tertsi/aniso/index.html Anyways, it's well-known that ATI's drivers have had issues with Blender. From what I've heard, if you find that a certain catalyst driver works well with Blender, just keep using it.

The images I've seen on tomshardware, and the benchmarks with different driver versions, clearly show (to me at least)that nvidia cheats more. But you're right, this is going off topic. We'll save it for another time and place
 In any case, no ATi for me in the near future. |
