Hi folks -

Follow up to my own post…

Does anyone out there have a working Linux installation of Houdini using a nVidia card?

If so, please post your specs (type of card, version of driver, version of Houdini, version of Linux).

Thanks!

Only about half the users on this forum.. Run a search for ATI. Those cards seem to have history with houdini

I have two very successful instalations on suse 10.
one is quadro fx1400 go and the second is ti4600.
I don't even want to know driver specifications. Just hit “download nvidia driver” in yast and everything went smoothly.

suse is great

hey hey

Fedora core 4 - 2.6.14 SMP
KDE 3.4.0-6 Red hat

QUADRO FX 4500
PCI Express 16X
Driver Version 8178
2 Flat 19" LCD

Machine

Pentium 4 - 2.8 Dual-Dual Core

Houdini is amazing on linux, one or two UI problems with the sculpt and paint SOP but other than that, its rock solid and im never touching windows - houdini again
i can easily rotate a 100 000 box SOPS, or COOK any chop system , when my windows box gives up in 2 minutes, this box can successfully COOK something for over 2 hours

Hope this helps

Hi,

I'm running Houdini Apprentice 8.0.341 on Suse 9.2 (2.6.8-24.19) with NVIDIA 6800GT driver version 1.0-8178. I'm having no issues at the moment but I'm just learning Houdini so probably not pushing it hard enough to see anything bad.

Regards,
