motionworks Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Hi Forum, Recently i have changed my Quadro 4000 graphic card with a GTX 580. I use Element 3D plugin with After Effects. I have tried Element 3D plugin on windows and Mountain Lion 10.8.3. Windows performance was way better than OSX. Element 3D uses OpenGL. Windows 7 supports newer version of openGL. Is this performance gap because of OpenGL version or i did something wrong with OSX or my DSDT ? Any help will be appreciated Thanks! I used GraphicsEnabler=Yes Here is my system profile.

motionworks Posted May 4, 2013 Author Share Posted May 4, 2013 My question is; is there a performance decrease on OSX with gtx 580? I have tried luxmark on both operating systems, (windows and 10.8.3) results are pretty close around 700 score. I have a complex Element 3D sceneon after effects, I tried to render it both on windows and osx, results were way different. Windows finished to render in 3 hours! Osx finished in 17 hours. I have been trying to find what is wrong with my osx, everything looks normal but rendering times are very different. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampage Dev Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 If you did a retail install and have done everything properly post install then it would just come down to settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motionworks Posted May 4, 2013 Author Share Posted May 4, 2013 Yes it is a retail vanilla install with my hack. Everything works. What kind of settings are you referring? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motionworks Posted May 6, 2013 Author Share Posted May 6, 2013 Mine is normal too, i have only Element 3D plugin issue. It should be openGL version problem i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
