Tari Landar Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Awesome, congrats on the new pc!!! I'm so glad you finally got a really great pc. I know all too well what it can be like using onboard graphics, lol. The pc I used to use I had been using onboard graphics up until hubby got me a graphics card in 2009. I had no idea what I was missing before then. Out of all the things I could finally see, water was what amazed me the most. Before then it was blue, and relatively transparent to me. I saw no ripples, forget any type of reflection. It was just blue space. Couldn't even tell it was actually water, because it didn't look like it was moving at all. Funny how the little things can really make your day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what setting got messed up, but I had yellow skies with black clouds and pea green water with no detail, as you described. I thought that's what SL was supposed to look like until I got a snapshot from my partner. I switched over to my even slower and older Apple laptop and finally saw SL in some of it's glory. Czari, I'm so glad you've now got a viewport into SL that does it justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found your thread about the CoolVL viewer and posted there. So congrats again! You deserved this YAY YOU!! Heh! I whined, argued, asked for advice, and generally bugged the merchants here for about a year concerning my PC situation so thought it only fair to post the "deets" in this sub-fora first! Come on over and hang out here anytime...the posters here are wonderful and amazingly knowledgeable. *Hugs* Thank you again Malanya! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny how the little things can really make your day. Thank you for your congrats, Tari. Just to clarify - my old PC did have a graphics card in it - an nVidia GeForce FX5700 LE by EVGA. I installed it years ago when EQ made a major upgrade to their graphics as part of one of their expansions. It was considered an excellent graphics card back then and is probably the reason I was able to even see SL after all these years. I have ordered a graphics card for my new PC but it has not yet arrived so I'm currently using the onboard graphics and I am really amazed at how much better I'm seeing SL with a new PC's onboard graphics vs. my old PC's discrete card. The better CPU might have something to do with that as well, not sure. Considering how amazing SL is looking now, I'm even more excited to see SL with the graphics card.

In 2007 my old PC did a fairly good job running SL, in fact Perrie commented on a thread in General that he would have drooled to have had my old rig back then. Windlight had not been introduced yet so all water looked basically just like blue patches but it did have a "watery" effect to it. I still had trouble with lag in crowded venues but my partner did as well and he had a better PC than I so just figured that was part of the deal.

Hmmmmmm....ok dancing in public would necessitate being dressed, and you do look VERY handsome in your dancing attire (and redheads don't give those types of compliments lightly) so I will joyfully await a dancing invitation with you in your mesh tux.* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were one of the people who encouraged me when I didn't think I would be able to get a new PC (prior to my mother gifting it to me) and was about to pack in SL. I'm so glad you did and so glad I didn't. (Hope that made sense.) I haven't seen Sassy in this thread yet but, if you're reading - you offered amazing help to me as well and I will always remember that. Big thanks to you both!!
