hello, im thinking of buying a new laptop to use with vue5. it has the ati radeon 9700 with 64mb of ram. ive heard rumors that ati cards can be a problem with vue. anyone have any experiance or knowledge of running vue with this graphics card or any ati card? the laptop is a sony vaio s360 (VGN-S360). with centrino pentium m at 1.7 ghz and 1gig of ram. i hope the 1.7 has enough oomph for rendering. im not expecting a speed demon but hope rendering speed will be sufficient. thanks.

I use an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro, and it works fine for me. I have a laptop with a Radeon Go5400 in it with 32 MB RAM and Vue 5 Esprit worked fine on it.

As for me, all versions of Vue including 5 Infinite run on an older ATI Radeon 7500C...YMMV

Did run Vue 5 with a Radeon 9600 Pro 256Mb --- Did run awfully slow in OpenGL mode, just not workable at all. Also only being able to work in wireframe mode well was kind of annoying. Since I'm working a lot with Poser figures, I've completely switched from Vue to Poser 6 and P6 works much better in OpenGL and besides that it has great software workframe options, not only wireframe.

Food for thought.....

I'm using the same graphics card in a pentium 4 laptop. Works fine. Shut down open GL, save file, then reopen before rendering and renders go fine. Some features actualy work better than on my power house PC. I do not know why. Older Mobo I guess.
