    Cheap macbook to run SL?

    in Second Life Viewer

    Posted

    I have a mid 2009 Macbookbook pro. It has an Nvidia 9400m graphics processor with shared memory. It will run sl, but at low settings, and low draw distance. 25 frames per second at the very top. Maybe 7-12 FPS in crowds. This is about the minimum you can get away with, I think. If you can find a macbook with an nvidia gpu, at will at least be somewaht usable. I would not use it as a main sl computer though. YMMV.

    I went back to the sim and rechecked:

    Camera problem - vehicle sim crossings

    I'm noticing that the camera is getting messed-up when vehicle crossing from Second Life RC Magnum 13.07.19.278843
    to Second Life Server 13.07.12.278519...

    Is anyone else noticing this? I hope we *nip* this in the bud. Having to reseat after eveery sim crossing makes vehicles a lot less enjoyable.

    No, it's a common griefer attack, alright.

    This sounds like a graphics card issue to me.

    I occasionally overclock my card. When I overclock it too much, especially if I up the voltage on the card,  I get the samething the OP is talking about. Sanme effect, same error message.

     

    Yestersay it happened several times but my card was overclocked by a very small percentage so I guess it could be an issue with sl or the viewer.

    WHat kind of GPU do you have?

     



    Since the latest update of firestorm :-((((

    Can you post your system specs? Does it seem to happen especially when moving your camera or avatar?

    I had the same freezing problem, but I think I found the solution. I created a new directory on the root of c:\ - c:\firecache

    I then set my cache as large as it would go, and set it to that new directory. I then changed everything in that directory to read/write as opposed to just read. I know it sounds strange, but it seems to have worked. Good luck.

    Got a new GPU, a 4GB GTX 670.

    On the whole it is very quiet and is housed in an awesome cooling tower. When I run benchmark tests and play top end games I can hear the fans increase in intensity but that is to be expected and nothing to worry about. However when I log into SL the GPU suddenly starts squealing like a pig that's got it's testicles trapped in the sty door. I can literally minimize the viewer window and it stops, maximize it and it starts again, Firestorm produces the loudest squeal. V3 it's about half the volume. It doesn't matter what my graphics settings are in either viewer, changing them does not affect the squeal. 

    I have tried to duplicate this squealing sound by running a multitude of programs to push my GPU and FPS to the max but nothing other than SL viewers cause the problem.

    Last night I was involved in an epic battle in EVE, over 800 ships in the system and the GPU made no unexpected sounds as a result. An hour later I am standing 1000m in the air in SL with nothing to render other than myself and the prim I am sat on and it's non stop squealing.

    So anyone have an idea as to why only SL causes this problem?

    Thanks

    I can be stood a 

    I would suspect a fan bearing, or a fan. Is it possible that a wire or any other object could possibly contact the fan when it's running at full speed?
