Readme First

The information contained in the Readme First document applies to all hardware Certifications executed on the Autodesk Media and Entertainment 2011 software product releases and should be acknowledged by all users prior to consulting the Certification charts.

Whats New

This certification was done on Autodesk Mudbox 2011 Subscription Advantage Pack while still supporting the original 2011 versions. Certification on Nvidias new FERMI cards is complete. AMD FirePro Vxxxx is also complete. Note that missing cards results should come in the upcoming weeks to fill up the charts. Graphic drivers for Nvidia and AMD have been made available on our server and those drivers are WHQL certified.

Autodesk Mudbox 2011 & Subscription Advantage Pack Graphics Hardware Qualification Microsoft Windows

Important Notes

1. Graphic card Certification was performed with a multiple display configuration at a resolution of 1920 X 1200 (60Hz). Autodesk recommends using "Dual view" mode for multiple display configurations with NVIDIA cards, and "Extended" mode with AMD cards. 2. The ambient occlusion feature requires 32 bit per channel precision. This is supported by Nvidia 8 series Quadro FX cards whose model numbers end in *600. (ie: 5600, 4600) and up. 3. Certain combinations of lights, shadows, reflectivity & viewport filters may not work properly on AMD hardware. If the model in your viewport shows up white, youve hit one of these limitations. To restore the model, reduce the number of lights/shadows, or turn off reflectivity or viewport filters until the object no longer renders white. 4. Graphics cards with at least 512 MB memory and that support 32bit texture channels will show better performance during texture painting workflows. 5. Apple Macintosh computers based on Intel processors and running Microsoft operating systems are not currently supported by Autodesk Support. 6. If you are experiencing issues not listed in this document, please search our Knowledge Base or contact customer support (http://www.autodesk.com/Mudbox-support).
