Nvidia GC advice needed please for Houdini Apprentice HD April 3, 2009, 4:39 p.m.

Thanks for the advice guys! I actually just purchased the Nvidia GTS250 GC instead of the 9800 as it seemed a better deal. Now I've just to decide whether or not to go the extra outlay for Vista Ultimate rather than Premium …

Nvidia GC advice needed please for Houdini Apprentice HD March 29, 2009, 7:15 p.m.

Hi there,
Apologies for bothering you guys but I'm new to Houdini and I'm in the process of putting together a new PC with the main purpose of running Houdini Apprentice HD. I'd initially settled on a build based on Vista 64, Core i7, and an Nvidia 9800GT GC. However, after browsing this forum it seems that Houdini can potentially have problems with Nvidia 9* cards and Vista 64. Is this the case?

Could anyone please let me know if they are running the latest version of Houdini with the 9800 (or 9* series or later Nvidia GC) on Vista 64?

If this is a no go, will the same problems be evident with 64 bit Ubuntu (or other Linux) and these graphics cards? I haven't yet bought Vista 64 (or the rest of the kit) so I'm open to suggestions! (The Quadro cards are out of my range however) I am keen to stay with 64 bit if possible to make use of 6GB RAM.

Thanks in advance for any help.
Andrew
