Hi!

I have this annoying problem with Maya 6 and my antique Radeon 8500 LE 64Mb graphics card / AMD Athlon XP +2000 machine. Maya slows down to unusabe 1-2 fps speed after I change from multiple view (for example Hypershade/Render/Perspective) back to single perspective view using SPACE bar. Same thing doesn't seem to happen if I choose "Single perspective view" using the hotbox and Saved layouts.

I guess this has something to do with the Radeon card or it drivers. But has anyone had this same problem and solved it with particular driver version or otherwise?

Please help...

install maya 6.01 before you go too far on the hardware thing....

I dont think this can be fixed with a MEL script :rolleyes:

Are you using an image plane? There is a line one can add to one's Maya.env file to get better performance with Radeon graphics cards when you're using image planes, and it makes a huge difference. I can't recall what it is, but if that's related to your issue I might be able to look it up.
