3d models just ruin it for me

[tizerist]

help! ive got a 70 gb hard drive yet any time i try to put 3d models on the globe the quality drops noticeably, it becomes choppy and stuff.overlays too.
does anyone else have this problem

[tizerist]

As soon as i put a 3d model on it my GE becomes waaaaay slow.
is there a away round this?
does anyone else find this?

[tizerist]

for example, i might get away with 1 model, but if i try to add any subsequent ones, it just isn't worth it, it slows too much.
how many models can you guys add at any one time without sacrificing quality?

Well you can put about 5 models if you have Google Earth 4.

Hey,
I don't know too much about computers but:
You say you have a 70GB hard drive. That means your computer can store 70GB of information. How much is your RAM and how good is your graphics card?

Google Earth doesn't use very memory.
Models on Google Earth take up RAM, so check what your RAM is. I used to have 512 mb RAM, and I could barely run Google Earth, and it would crash if I opened another program (like iTunes). So, check how much RAM you have.

But once again, I don't know too much about computers...so ask an expert.

get more RAM, and better GPU, and better CPU


i have a AMD X2 4200+ AM2, 7900GT, and 2GB CORSAIR XMS2 C5 and nothign wrong here except for the black outs i get, but are probable bugs
