Subject: Does Vue auto dectect processors?


MuonQuark ( ) posted Mon, 08 September 2008 at 7:54 PM · edited Fri, 20 September 2024 at 3:59 AM

I just purchased Vue 6 Pro but I'm not seeing the processors detected at the bottom of the screen.  Is there someone I need to do first?  I have looked thru the options but cannot find anything.
Thanks.

Hm, tried restarting machine?
works a-ok on Infinite, I honestly cannot recall on Vue 5 Pro if it had such a feature then (as that's what I had).
:)

what system do you have?

Sorry.  Should have entered more information.  I ran Vue6 Easel and it detected both CPUs with no problem.  The comparative chart says Vue6 Pro should see both CPUs as well.  I have a Gateway GT5228 with dual AMD Athalon 64 X2 Processors 4200+.

I notice the renders are slower too.  I seem to recall having to do a quick install of something extra when I installed Vue6 Easel.  Maybe I need to look at the CD....  ::shrugs::

hi, muonquark...

yes, pro automatically detects the number of CPUs, however, it does not SHOW any indication of this.

right-click on window's task tray at the bottom of the screen, and bring up the task manager.  manipulate your windows so you can see it easy.  run a render and look at the performance tab on the task manager.  both (or more) windows should be running full-tilt.

hope this helps =D

MuonQuark,
hm, do as Melikia says and see if both CPUs are being used?

Problem is I have Infinte so I cannot compare directly :/

If the same scene with the same lighting type renders slower, that would be weird!

Maybe Pro is using more advanced lighting types? Radiosity?

Sorry I can't be of more help :)

Thanks for the replies.  I don't think it's broke but was curious about it.  Also, I could always use more memory....   :-)

Thanks.
