graphics card & laser

[Kosh]

I had my laptop stolen out of my equipment van this week. The stolen laptop had a standard intel integrated graphics card.

My question is does the graphics card in the laptop effect the output of the laser and its animation speed.

if so I would replace the laptop with one that has a higher end graphics card.

I am currently using I show . because my Easylase Dac for mamba is damaged.

When i play a ilda with out the ishow dac it plays normally, but after i attach the dac and laser the animations slow down . I was not sure if it was the dac, the intel integrated graphics, or the celeron processor


thank you guys

Sorry to hear about your loss.. The graphics card should have no bearing on laser show performance at all, so replacing the laptop with a better one won't hurt.

A better graphics card might improve the "visualizer" window in your software, but it shouldn't have any effect on the output of the controller.

I think its the crappyness of ISHOW the ild's display in normal speed but then when i attach the dac they slow down alot.
i need to replace my easylase dac.
thanks for the help

It's weird because it does on my QM-2000..... Yeah, only on the abstract generator. Bill showed me at FLEM that if I close the visual window for the abstract generator the scanned image stops glitching.

In Pangolin's defense, this is really just a graphics card issue but I'm not exactly sure how they are tied together.

In your case Adam; I'd say it's due to the CPU performing GPU duties. Dedicated graphics card = more clock cycles free for the CPU to perform abstract calculations.
