i think i said before.. just about 3 times faster on my laptop..

so.. say the 100 frame sequence playing all frames takes 6 seconds to playback on the BOXX (not exaggerating).. it takes a bit over 2 to play back on my laptop..

but.. i recently tried an install of the NVIDIA drivers.. by removing the old one first .. then installing the new one...

i did it 3 times.. the oldest driver for the card.. the newest... and the SOFTIMAGE recommended one..

none of them made one bit of difference (yes.. i also changed the driver to the softimage XSI setting in the properties)

Well it's very typical to loose proper hardware acceleration after re-installing Windows and not installing the vendor's driver on top.

 

also what kind of frame per second are you talking about when you say it's much faster?
