Hi.

I’ve been on version 7 for years, because it does all I need it todo (almost. I’m thinking of upgrading especially for the volumetric lighting).

I have two computers, an old one with aGTX 1070, which still works beautifully with v7, and a laptop with an RTX 2070.iClone runs faster on the laptop, but Ifind laptops very clunky for serious work. I prefer my desktop for long hoursof work. So myquestion is: Anybody’s been using iC8 on an old video card similartothat? And are there any major differences in performance between v8 and v7?

Yes, I will try the v8 demo, butsometimes demos don’t give you the big picture, so I’d like to hear about someof you who’ve been working with v8 for a while, especially on an old computer. 

Windows 10, Intel i7, 32 Gig RAM

Thanks

Hi...

What is acceptable performance wise varies from user to user so the best way to see if the performance of your 1070 is good enough for you is to check out the trial version of iClone 8. The GTX 1070 does fall into the minimum requirements level but below the recommended so you might struggle if you try to work with complex scenes or have more than one character (Note: ActorCore characters use less resources so you may be able to have more of these in your scenes).

Also as your graphics card is a GTX you won't be able to use plug-ins like accuFace or use the Omniverse pipeline as these require an RTX card like the 2070 you have in the laptop.

Hi.
Ok. I'll wait before upgrading then. For now v7 still does everything I need it to.

Thanks

I run IC8 on a GTX1080ti on WIN 7 and 10 without any issues.

I have a GTX 1070 on my PC. I have Iclone 7 and CC4. I can create animations and audio in IC7 with Motion Plus and use in CC4. But CC4, as far as I know, does not have a timeline or moving camera. But it is fun to use CC4 with IC7 Motion Plus.
