EeePC with 3Ds Max 6!! - Page 2

Junedoggydogg1 · February 7th, 2009

yo whats the minimum system requirements of 3dsmax again? and Autocad's on too. Trying 2 find one with low system requirements (Say in the 700Mhz range)

Phil · February 7th, 2009

You must like long loading times then

and no, i didn't used frame/vuskip. But Speedhacks ^^

If there was SSSE3 support, it might have been better. Heck, you even get SSE4.1 on the Atom aside from it having ludicrously faster clocks. Almost doubled this one. It's weird that you're not running it at more than that. ;p Need to tweak more, I guess? Try installing a modded driver for the GMA 950.

no. i only get SSSE3.
you may read the SSE4.1 entry in the console, but it says: NOT detected SSE4.1

yea, it was an old playground beta from August or September 2008.

i did. it doesn't change anything, not even in PC Games.

The Atom isn't faster than you think
I think its equivalent to the 900mhz celeron, plus SSSE3, a lower power consumption and less heat.
It struggles a lot when running vista in power saving mode, i always have to use maximum performace, otherwise its too slow to use.

pcsx2 is also much slower in vista than in XP on it.

FFX intro:
XP: ~23fps (less or more)
Vista: only 14-15fps

Vista steals too much CPU performance for something, even when i use high priority for pcsx2.

by the way: i ordered a 32GB runcore SSD, should arrive at the following week

50MB/s write, 70MB/s read ... wow.. thats a new experience to EeePC

(when the Atom don't bottneneck it) :X

No, I know Atom isn't much faster, but at least you can use MTGS and DC with it, which apparently does boost performance a bit more thanks to better CPU usage. ;p (that option just slows it down for me)

And SSSE3 is a fair bit faster than SSE2, too.

No excuses!

It's painful for me to accept it, too, but Atom is just much better than Celeron M for emulation. It might not help with PC games or anything else, but it does help exclusively for emulation. Plus its power consumption is excellent, too.

did i told that i have two netbooks?

Also got an Aspire one A150bgw (with integrated hsdpa modem) a couple of weeks ago.

Here a small Video with running Vista on it:
now you have the chance to hear myself talking in german lol

Does it play crysis...well that depends on what you define play as...does it load crysis...heck yea...and does a darn good job at it...800x600 all low...t&l emulated...40gb toshiba zif drive mod...8mb cache...was gettin about 10 frames a second...sounds worked perfect

lol.
I'll give this a try.

But how can i emulate T&L?

m0f0 · February 18th, 2009

You can use a program called 3DAnalyze to emulate HW T&L, not sure of the link anymore, should be available if you Google it though

runawayprisoner · February 19th, 2009

Or amen... use the modded Vista drivers to get native DirectX 10 support as well as native TnL emulation by Intel.

AFAIK, 3DAnalyze kinda... bypass it and force DX TnL render or something... which may or may not work all the time.

The modded Vista drivers, however, reportedly gave you support for the rest of the snuffs and stuffs, allowing heaps of newer games to run on GMA 950. See this:

The Intel GMA 9xx Gaming Club

Note, though... use at your own risk. ;p I don't even have a GMA 950 to try it out, but it seems to work, as I've seen videos all over youtube about this.

didn't know of of that, thanks rap

runawayprisoner · February 19th, 2009

You're welcome.

I'm kinda interested in seeing how this will work out on netbooks, seeing as to how... these drivers may just unlock something cool.

On a side note, though, it really shows that Intel could always do proper drivers, but for some bizarre reason, they never do.

Edit: here, a video of COD2 on GMA 950:

COD2 didn't run before, but... tada, miracles worked by forcing mobile series 4 drivers on GMA 950.

But these drivers would't increase the framerate since a T&L emulator is running on the CPU and the Atom is the bottleneck in most games for me.

True. I just meant that they allowed support for more games in general.

Plus it seems you also get more shader support out of it, since even COD4 would run with these.

I finally got my new SSD.
Its not the runcore, its even a faster one

SuperTalent FPM32GRSE with 32GB, 90MB/s read and 55MB/s write speed !

It runs like a dream!
I thought i upgraded from a 386sx to a core2duo lol....

when you get a 90X or S101, get this SSD! its worth its price.
But it needs the latest Bios update, otherwise it won't be detected.

Huh whut? Those large thangs? ;p
Oh come on... don't be a tease.

I'm not a mobile maniac for nothing.

If I have a next computer/laptop, it's gotta be thatta one.

thats truly a cute one

but that keyboard looks tinier then that from the 901.
not good for fat fingers, especially mines

i like the Vaio p too, but the keyboard reminds me to the one of a bancomat.

And I thought my MSI Wind had a tiny keyboard, good lord. I hate typing on that thing, and then they come out with this!?

Nice video btw, NeXXus, even though I can't understand German[nothing more than Hi/Good Morning/etc.].
