Hello from Switzerland

I have just installed c4d R19… ready to try ProRender… grin
Internal error of ProRender… :-(

Mac Pro (Mitte¬2010)
2 x 2.66 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon
Macintosh SSD
ATI Radeon HD 5870 1024 MB
CK10804REUH

Could this be a problem of my graphic card?
Thank’s for your support

Kind regards
Henri

Hi Henry,

I started an mid 2010 Apple-Laptop with R19, and it snaps back to Standard when I like to set it to ProRender.

I haven’t found a source in the Help Content that would point to a method to evaluate a machines capabilities. The Open GL check in the “Preferences” left me with out anything useful for your question: However, it should be an AMD graphics card, preferable a newer one. AFAIK.

Grazie mille dottore

Can you give me any suggestions, what to buy? It is quite difficult to find informations… my Xeon 12core machine with 32GB and SSD works still fine and fast… but no support anymore :-(

All the best from Switzerland

Hi Henry,

That is a theme that I never have touched here. To be honest, I’m quite happy about it, as things change rapidly: Todays hottest can be the latest tomorrow. So a good tip can backfire a lot.
Of course, I would love to “rub the crystal ball” and tell you what a good long time investment would be.
Quite frankly, I really don’t know, and I admire people who give easily advice about that, but after many decades in this business, I do not feel at all comfortable to play games with other people’s money.

Perhaps explore which AMD card would work in your set up, but check with the support first, and again - the ProRender is in [kind of] beta!

All the best

Il piacere è tutto mio, Henry!

Perhaps google as well result listings from Cinebench! Even I think the ProRender is not really part of it. Anyway, everyone has a specific mixture of needs, based on the day by day projects…

Fingers crossed you get a nice future proof set up.

My best wishes!

back again…

I bought on eBay a AMD msi R7950 twin frozr 3GD5 graphic card. This card could be exchanged 1 to 1 with my older ATI Radeon HD 5870… everything worked with no problem at all.
And finally… the proRender in c4d works perfectly!

Kind regards

Henri
