New M6500 Discussion Thread

Hi Guys,

What kind of problems are you having with the new NIVIDA cards, and your Autodesk 2011 Products?

Give details...


And did you download your Autodesk 2011 Products, or did you install from DVD's?
I didn’t receive my DVD’s yet, and I have Autodesk subscriptions.

The download is available, but I like to have the DVD's, because of problems just like this.

If you didn't turn off your Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware programs,
they can interfere with your installation of Autodesk Products, and have.

 

I just tried your link and it only brings me to the fx 2800m page

I'll check dell for the ISV drivers and see if that helps.

 

I downloaded the sorftware because that usually ensures the latest build. Though I am a subscription holder and have access to direct downloads.

 

For all 3ds Max and Max Design users there is a new hotfix out for using the 2010 and 2011 software on the same machine.

Here is the link to the service pack dowload page - http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/dl/item?siteID=123112&id=14934477&linkID=10381720

 

Here is the Autodesk list of supported Graphics Cards

Oh and I checked it for all of you ATI guys and Gals and the 7740 is not on the list either!


NOW THATS WHAT I CALL INTIGRATED SOFTWARE COORDINATION! Nice one Dell!

 

Anyone know why Dell stoped selling the 3700m cards? They are no longer available on either the standard or Covet and they pulled it from the drivers list on the support site.

 

I don't think the 3700M was ever an option, at least not for a CTO m6500.

I'm goin to call up dell on monday and get them to ship me a new keyboard with a new pointer stick and ask them about the lack of driver support with autodesk software/where can i get the ISV driver.

 

Excellent! Keep me up to date, on a better note they did intigrate mutli core proccessing I ran a render on the example model Autodesk provides with the install and it maxes out all 8 cores during rendering! OH and its running through the rendering like a raped ape!

 

Late last night my m 6500 switched from "In Production" to "Delivery Preparation" does this mean I should get the coffee pot ready for the next few days? or will it take awhile longer?

What's the protocol here, can I put this computer in my signature now or should I wait until it's in my greedy little hands?

 

LOL if your build process was anything like mine it should be shipped out with in 24 hours. (i'm being generous with time, mine went from Delivery Prep to shipped within 8 hours.)
