AMD Athlon FX 57 or AMD Athlon X2 4800+ ??
Asus GeForce 7800 or VFX GeForce 7800 or PNY Quadro FX 4000 ?
Who knows the answer?

That's funny - I was just wondering that yesterday so I started to do some research of my own. From all the results that I've come across, and processor testings, in my opinion the fx-57 seems like it would perform better for resolume. The x2 better for 3d renderings, but resolume doesn't do this.
I'm unable to test both myself (obviously I'm not that wealthy ... yet;) ) but from reading reviews on both thouroughly it seems the fx would be the better option for resolume...
as far as video card - for resolume doesn't really matter... as long as it has multiple outs. MANY threads on this - read up on those. Cpu does all the work in resolume, not the gfx card.

i have also been researching this exact comparison.
I have come to the same conclusion as NexusIntent.
FX-57 all the way.. and ALL the benchmarks show the FX-57 to be the fastest CPU (in a 32 bit enviroment) so my guess is it will kick ass in resolume.
Okay, great, but....

Okay the FX 57, with whatever video card.
But what about the Freeframe 3D plugins in Resolume. They rely on OpenGL and stuff like that right?
So does this mean it's wise to buy (next to the FX 57) a really good video card?
(I will probably do that anyway for Maya modelling
... > sidenote)
Thnx

no
it's all 100% CPU (in resolume)

freeframe plugins can use openGL if they want, but that would be coded into the plug in, and as far as i know there are not any freeframe plugins that use openGL. maya only uses openGL to display things, not to render.
