[Paraview] GPU & SurfaceLIC

[Adriano Gagliardi]

If you are interested, I've also had Surface LIC working on my ATI HD 4850
at home. It didn't work on my X1900XT. It would be nice if there was a list
of cards that support the feature.

I don't know the specific GL features it requires but I think the best
guideline is it should work with any card newer than a GeForce 6. The Quadro
FX 1700 is in the GeForce 8 family and thus should work.

Thanks for this review, that helps me understand a little better.

Searching more informations about the processor of the graphic card, I found
these details :  

Quadro 3450, that didn't work with surface LIC -->
http://www.gpureview.com/nvidia-nv41-chip-71.html
Quadro FX 1700, that works -->
http://www.gpureview.com/nvidia-g84-chip-138.html

Which of there features is important, in order surfaceLIC to work ?
DirectX Compliance ?  PS Version
<http://www.gpureview.com/pixel-shader-version-article-390.html>  and/or VS
Version ?

Quadro FX 3450 cards are in the Geforce 6 Family (it uses a NV42GL
processor). I am pretty sure you need a newer card for surfaceLIC to work.

Hello, 

Really, I can not understand what makes the plugin surfaceLIC work or not.
And it's a pity, because that's exactly what I need....... !

Could we try to list as many graphic cards as possible, in order to try to
understand where the problem comes from ?

My system : 


Linux x86_64 

[Quadro FX 3450/4000 SDI] - 256MB


Driver 195.36.24 


 
When I use surfaceLIC, Paraview freezes. It seems that the calculation
works, but very slowly....
I had tried a newer driver, but this had not solve the problem. 

A colleagues' system : 


Linux x86_64


Two graphic cards : Quadro FX 1700 - 512MB
VBIOS Version 60.84.75.00.14



It works without any problem. 
--------------> Does the size of the memory of the graphics card could be
the explanation ?

Thanks for any help, or advice. 
Aurélien.
