Posts: 12 		Hello, I am new to Muvizu (HELLO EVERYONE!!) and most scenes run really smooth... There are a few however (i.e. moon scene and desert island) that aren't very smooth and I'd like them to be smoother when I'm moving about and adding objects and such. My question is, would you suspect the video card to be the bottleneck here? Don't worry I won't hold you to your answer. I just need some advice before I start upgrading video cards, power supplies and such. All help is appreciated!

Current PC:
-i7 3.4 ghz processor
-12 gb ddr3 ram
-standard 7200 rpm hard drives
-1 GB Radeon 7450 <-- I suspect this is the bottleneck.

You can try turning off lighting mode (F12) to help with resource heavy scenes if you like as a start point.

The shadows are set to maximum sharpness (that's how I like 'em) but this puts a strain on your video card. Turn them down to 50% and the set will be easier to work with (and then turn them back up to 100% just before you make your movie).
