Motion Builder + 8800 GTS = playback issues

[squill]

Does anyone have Motionbuilder running in XP with an 8800 GTS type of card?

 

I've got myself a new rig with an 8800 GTS but the current nvidia drivers screw up the realtime playback It skips a few frames ahead when playing in 24 fps (or whatever speed). When playing animations with the show "ALL FRAMES" option it does like it says play all frames but that's of course too fast.

 

i read on some cg forums that it's a general problem with the current 7XXX en 8XXX series and autodesk is apparently working on this issue. So be warned

I don't have the problem with 8800gtx on vista 64, so it must be limited to xp.

For all the wary vista haters out there, I've had no issues with vista, and not a single crash or blue screen since I installed it 3-4 months ago. I originally made a dual boot of vista32 and 64, but have since deleted the 32 partition, since I never need to use it.

I have XP and Vista with a 8800GTS 640mb but I don't use motion builder - I use 3DS Max for anims.

k.. thx for mentioning. Probably only related to XP then. I personally haven't got any reason to install vista yet, most programs i use run fine and seeing the newer games struggle with dx10 makes me wanna wait till new service packs & (graphics) hardware are released.

 

I can still check the anims thru viewport renders and using ALL FR option although i hope autodesk comes with a solution soon.

I wonder what happens if you choose "No snapping" on the bottom right, down on the timeline, so that it plays as smooth as it can when you hit the play button?

[squill]

probably the same, but i'm now running a dual boot with vista and the playback in MB runs fine again. So for now i'll stick to vista for animating in MB.

Wow, whatever works Glad it's running again.
