Hi All,
I bought a new MacPro and now get this message when I open PyMOL:
Note: Radeon HD cards tend not to run PyMOL well.
Use nVidia or Intel instead, if OpenGL glitches occur.
Attempting to compensate for known issues...
So the new Macs only come with Radeon video cards... there are no other choices
with a Mac. This means the MacPros no are no longer a good platform for running
PyMOL? I just tossed $3K down the drain?
I tried to render the surface of 3L5Q and PyMOL just crashes (6GB RAM). I tried
to render just the top half and it still crashes.
What are the OpenGL glitches that occur, are they documented somewhere?
What does PyMOL do to compensate?
I checked the PyMOL web site and under the supported operating systems and
hardware there is no mention of the lack of Radeon support/poor Radeon
performance. Maybe that should be added because I wouldn't have bought this new
Mac if I would have known this. Is there anything I can do to make this new
machine work?
I see a 64-bit version is on the horizon, will this address Radeon performance
or should I go back to my old MacPro with it's nVidia 7300 video cards?
