Which display card(s) is optimal for Supermodel v0.2 ?

[thunderbolt]

Hello,

Which display card(s) is optimal for Supermodel v0.2 ?

Does Supermodel v0.2 rely heavily on hardware acceleration by display card ?

Thanks.

Supermodel's card requirements are pretty fluid and depend on how high a resolution you plan to run at. Absolute rock bottom is defined as supporting OpenGL 2.0: for ATI cards look at the table here and for Nvidia cards the tables here will do the trick. FPS may not be ideal towards the lower end of that range unless you stick with 640x480 resolution though.

In general, an Nvidia 8800GT or an ATI X2000 or better should run Supermodel well without being the bottleneck. These graphics are nowhere near the complexity of modern PC games like Call of Duty MW 2 or Civilization V and so you don't need a high-end card unless you're driving a 30" monitor or something.

well i didnt have problems with supermodel back in april using my old 8600 gt, i think the 9800 gt is good till this days, since i didnt have problems with codmw2, i didnt try civ5

Amazing

also, when the dynamic recompiler is ready more cards and cpu's will be added to the optimal usage for supermodel

DRC won't impact the video card requirement, just the CPU requirement

On my Mac Pro 2,2 (Dual-Quad Xeon @3.0GHZ,9GB RAM) I'm running OSX 10.6.7. with a Flashed ATI radeon 5770.. she can do 1920x1200 without any issues.
