I hear ya, Dreamcube! I saw a really good deal on TigerDirect.ca for the GTX-460, but I don't have the money yet.

Both versions come with one license.

I am running the 64 bit version though for some other applications. iClone should still work though I hope.

I'd like to upgrade my GFX card too. I want one of the 400 series cards.

Did you get the 32-bit or 64-bit version?

I bought Windows 7 Ultimate the other day, but I'm wondering now if I shouldn't just resell it. My computer is a bit old and even though Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor says it'll work okay, I'm not sure I'll really get any benefit from it. I suppose if DirectX 11 was supported in iClone, it might be worth it. Then again, I'd have to upgrade my video card, too. I am thinking of getting a new computer, but... Decisions! Decisions! Bah!

OpenGL is pretty cool. I hate how most 3D software (nonrealtime) mistreat OpenGL and make it look bad by giving you a HORRIBLE preview._PS3 uses OpenGL for all its games and they look great.

I like the dynamics of the poll. When it first started, most of the choices were set to "I wish I could have it but I can't." and now the majority is set to "If iClone gets this, I'm going to upgraade."

I just bought Windows 7 Home Premium for my desktop a minute ago... it's a disc so I gotta wait for it to get here.

Considering that DirectX 11 is only available for Windows 7, and given that Windows 7 doesn't perform as well as Windows XP in about 50% of common tasks, I'd like to see a shift to OpenGL 4. Open standards are always preferable simply because the end user is left in control of the upgrade path. If DirectX 11 were available for Windows XP, I'd never consider upgrading my operating system, for instance, just to gain the benefits of tessellation.

At the very least, I'd like to see the option of using OpenGL.

Not a bad idea. Something tells me it won't be in the next version... or 5.0... but you never know.

An option to implement a slider feature for subdivision at render time would be a great alternitive until everyone catches up to DX11, that way it doesn't have to be done in realtime and individuals with older graphics cards can can benifit from the extra LOD (level of detail):w00t:

Hm, I prefer NVidia myself.

Oh yeah I forgot about DXDiag. I have an NVidia GTX 260... can't remember if it's DX11 compatible or not... I don't thin kit is though.

If you want to really toy around with some DX11 graphics and don't want to wait for a legit realtime 3D software to come out... get Crysis 2 when it comes out. It has a full sandbox with a working physics engine... it's pretty much a machenima tool in itself... not as simple as iClone, but you can definatly take it for a spin and I know that'll be DX11 compatible.

another easy way is to click start - and in the command box type dxdiag - this tells you about your system config, chipset, cpu, ram, dx11


for all the talk about dx11 here, it really does not buy you anything yet- at least not in the near 12 months or so unless you are into gaming - and a very limited selection of games at that and most games are backwards compatible anyway

the key criteria you should look for as stuckon3d pointed out is the gpu clock, number of unified shaders, ram - a cheap dx11 card gets you an entry level card - nothing more
now having said that- some really good mainstream cards out there - the ATI5500, 5700 are about $150-$200 range and work really well with iclone

if you want more gpu ram and a pretty powerful card, sapphire has a 5850 that has 2GB - runs about $350

If you wanna find out, right click on My Computer and go to Properties and you instantly find out how much RAM you have,, what speed and type of CPU you have, and if it's a 32 or 64 bit system.

One way to find your GFX card is to right click anywhere on the desktop, go to Properties, go to the last tab (Display I think) click on Advanced" and then you'll see a tab witha a really long name like NVIDIA 9800 GT or Intel-R= graphics or ATI Radion 4400. It'll say something like that. THAT is your graphics card. Just pop that name into google (or bing) and you'll find out what up..

It's always helpful to know what you have in your computer.
