Hey all

Just got my hands on a Leadtec PX6600GT

so I had a few questions... ( I use maya 6.5 as my 3D software choice)

Firstly what drivers do you guys recommend when using 6600GT? using it for a app like Maya. It would be good to see what versions you guys running or tested with this graphics card.

Secondly, I know that there are softwares like 3Dmark that test speeds of your graphics cards and mind you the speeds vay alot amongst different drivers how ever the score that you get from the 3Dmark tests, do they go hand in hand with better results in your 3D software like maya? puting it simply, the higher results you get in 3dmark, does it mean the better/faster your Maya will run?

Thirdly, do all of you use Riva Tuner or other modding appz to tweak your cards? i know this makes a difference when playing games or your 3D mark score how ever is the difference noticed when working in 3D, Rendering etc.

any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Hi!

For drivers I'd stay away from the latest (81.98) drivers.

I tried them and running Maya was next to impossible. Based on what I read
in some posts here, I switched to the 77.77 drivers and all my problems we're
solved.

As far as I know, I don't think there are any tweaks available for the 6600GT
besides overclocking.
