NewTek FAQ
FAQ Home > LightWave 3D > System Requirements > Hardware
Why does LightWave require TCP/IP protocols for the Hub to operate?
| LightWave uses this protocol to transfer the data between Layout and Modeler through the Hub. There is so much data to be passed back and forth that this was the best and fastest way to do it. There is a way to deactivate the Hub if installing TCP/IP on your system is a problem. Please contact our Technical Support for more information on how to do this. |
Will my parallel dongle work with LightWave 9?
| LightWave v9 will work with a parallel dongle, but only in a 32bit environment. In order to utilize the 64bit version of LightWave v9 a USB dongle is required. |
What graphics cards are recommended for LightWave 9?
| LightWave 9.x requires an OpenGL 2.0 (or higher) compliant graphics card with an nVidia or ATI GPU. Minimum (64MB of RAM): nVidia GeForce FX 5200 or ATI Radeon 9500 Recommended (128MB of RAM): nVidia GeForce 7300/Quadro FX 350 or higher or ATI Radeon X1300/FireGL V5200 or higher |
