Has somebody test it?
It is faster on Linux than on Tezro?
How about the price?Stranger, today in the site of discreet (http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/index?siteID=123112&id=6086486&linkID=6086398) and the limitations of the PC (bandwith), 2K suite is 12bits and others (SD/HD) not, why? Im not user of FFI
they might be using fancier video hardware on the 2k suite, but the more honest answer is “marketing.”
Poor programing and tezro’s better hardware.
Anyway I beleive flame on linux is very highly priced, could be wrong, but heard……
Around 40k for a flinux I think
Missing a Zero in there I heard. Just hoping I’m wrong but reliable source…..
Seriously? I heard it was going to be under 50k.
Wow.I’ll dig a little deeper over the next few days and try to find out…
Flint on linux is in the 70k range…with FLAME on linux being more like $200k

The $200k doesn’t sound too off the mark. Flame on Tezro will cost you upwards of that, and the dualcore Linux should be loads faster than the SGI.
hmmmm……. when i tested flint on linux in one of the backrooms at nab this year i found it to be much less interactive than even an octane2 v12. I put 4 layers of 1080p into action and ALL interactivity was gone. This is definitely something Im not used to when working on an octane2 v12. Unless they figured out how to pimp that gfx hardware better, I would wait it out.
There is most certainly a wall you hit when using flint and high resoultion imagery. I like to use high res stuff for graphic projects and without proxy mode, interactivity really bogs down on flint.
Not allowed to talk publicly about flame yet, except to say its fast…..

Discreet demos are very highly tuned to the specific product to make it look amazing. It’s when you get a backroom demo for yourself and get to throw your own layers in there that you see the real speed of the product. Don’t ever take the discreet demos as being realisitic.
