Hi Lasse,
As an update to your requirements, I'm very pleased (relieved!) to report that Capture Polar (with the Polar Graphics) appears to work extremely well on an ATI graphics card.
I have upgraded a lab full of iMacs dual-booting MacOS and Windows and after a certain amount of ATI Driver hackery have a very functional result.
If anyone has an iMac and is having problems with getting the graphics to function, the reason is that Apple's own, supplied drivers are actually incorrect! If you'd like to know how I went about correcting them, let me know and I'll happily share the info.
However, short of fullscreen vsualisation being a bit slow, I'm pleased to say that an iMac with 256MB ATI Graphics (Core2 Duo 2.4GHz, 2GB RAM) is perfectly capable of running Polar Graphics when appropriately 'persuaded'.
Oh yes, and XP, not Vista.
Hope this helps,
-john
Hi John!
I got a brand new MacBook Pro with dual display adapters (NVIDIA GeForce 9400M and 9600M GT with 512MB). I got windows XP installed and I still cant believe that when I fullscreen my stage setup in capture - a major lag comes around. Ive updated newest drivers with Driver Genious witch updates all the drivers, not just display drivers.. My display settings (in Nvidia control panel) are in default. And I dont even have a firewall or anti-virus witch could slow the system down. Do you have any tips how to "hack" the drivers or the system to work fully in fullscreen? Capture works fine when its not in fullscreen.
Specs: MacBook Pro 2,8GHz, 4GB RAM DDR3, hard-drive with 7200 RPM, NVIDIA GeForce 9400M and 9600M GT with 512MB of GDDR3 memory, Windows XP SP3 32bit and newest windows updates.
