Open GL lagging....

Ok so workstation is all built...did the tape mod... installed XP64...drivers etc.... The MSI 8800GT I bought does NOT have xp64 drivers so I got the newest Nvidia ones... Its only scoring a 3267 for OGL in cinebench which is half of what it should be... I ran some direct-x benchmarks and those are where they should be... After effects Cs3 GUI also seemed to be a little slow compared to my old rig... So me thinks its a graphic driver issue... Seems Xp64 drivers are kinda rare... Next I'm gonna install Vista 64 because the MSI card DOES have Vista 64 drivers.... I've ruled it out being a power issue as I have a 650w PSU with 56A on the 12v rails... and I only have one Hard drive and 1 optical drive... Could still be a mainboard issue I don't know? Really seems like a gfx driver thing... Why would the direct-x scores be normal with the Open GL half of what they should be? Most 3d apps use DirectX but mine, Cinema 4d uses OpenGL so I kinda need it : (

Besides the OpenGL suckness.... the tape mod worked great! So thanks for the advice! Right now its Cinebenching at 21476 which is pretty good compared to these scores..

    How about leaked drivers?

    I don't know much about hardware, but I saw it suggested in several places for xp64 users.

    Hey, congrats on getting your new rig up and running. Which pin did you add the tape to for the bsel mod? 6 or 7? Just curious.

    Sounds like a driver issue as you say, but 64bi systems are tough so you'll have to do a lot of troubleshooting, I imagine. Does the MSI board have updated (current) bios?

What format should I render out of Cinema 4d with?

UPDATED 2_27_13!  RENDER USING EXR Lossy Zip16! Since I'm working on a new feature film that will generate over 1500 shots made up of image sequences I need to make sure I choose the right file format to render to lest my hard drives explode. What I need from my format is  at least 16bit, an alpha included and preferably small size. I rendered out a frame from my film tallied up all the file sizes here- their all different types of codecs listed from smallest file size to largest. The render includes an RGBA pass, Depth pass, and Material Luminance pass because thats what I always render out. 1.00mb 8bit-Photo Jpeg %100 1.27mb 8bit-PNG 4.65mb 16bit- EXR lossy ZIP16 5.75mb 8bit-PSD 6.23mb 16bit-EXR lossy PLZ 6.44mb 16bit-PNG 7.94mb 8bit-TIFF 8.50mb 16bit-EXR Lossy 24 9.05mb 16bit-EXR Lossy Run Length 14.6mb 8bit-TARGA 22.4mb 32bit-EXR ZIP16 24.6mb 32bit-EXR Zip1 25.6mb 32bit-EXR PLZ 29.3mb 16bit-TIFF 29.3mb 16bit-PSD 40.0mb 32bit-EXR Run Length 58.7mb 16
