When I turn on Shading in the view menu the framerate is very choppy when I move the camera. Everything else is smooth, is this hardware rendered, OpenGL maybe?

I have an XP2000+ 256mb (soon to be upgraded) and a Radeon 32Mb ddr with the default XP drivers.

I don;t underd=stand why a simple shaded view would be so slow, are my drivers the problem?


Thanks

It could be the drivers, but most likely it's just the graphics card in general.

Maya needs a fairly good professional level graphics card to run well. On the Alias website there's a list of "Maya Certified" graphics cards.

By professional level I mean cards like Quadros etc

Here's the link to the list on the Alias site:

sussed it out, the standard XP Radeon drivers don't support OpenGL, got the new ones and everything is smooth as butter :buttrock:
