Maya Linux 64 Bit Playback Speed Performance

Wolky · 06-11-09, 01:16 PM

Hi there everybody,I have Geforce 9600 GT,my driver's version is 180.44 which comes with Ubuntu 9.04 as default.Also I use Ubuntu 9.04 64 Bit.
I installed Autodesk Maya 2009 Unlimited(64 bit version).I'm an animator and playback speed is important for me.I should set it to Real Time(24 fps)But when I set it to Real Time,yes it plays in real time but skips frame.

You may say this' normal.But in Windows XP-32 bit(at same Computer)it doesn't skip a frame.I installed Linux to give me the best performance in Maya,but because of this problem I'm not happy with it.Also I installed XFCE(thin desktop environment)But no luck,still same issue.Can someone help me with this?What could I do for best performance in Maya?Thanks,
Akif,

What is in the scene?

Is vsync turned on or off? (In nvidia settings).

Also if you want to try with a newer nvidia driver add this repo:

Quote:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/thefirstm/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main

It has 185.18.14.

Thanks for the reply Lithorus,
How could I learn if vsync is on/off?Can you give me detail about this?(couldn't find in nvidia-settings)

Under opengl settings. It's called Sync to VBlank.
But again, more importantly. What is in the scene? Also have you talked to Autodesk about this? It's quite know that the versions across 32-bit and 64-bit doesn't work excactly the same.

And as always. Please provide a bug report log as described in the stickies.
