Typically a 3D model in a game contains a low number of polygons with textures applied to them, while polygon count is high in CAD modeling, and the quality of the stationary image of the wireframe or the shaded model is more important than navigation speed. 'Gamer' cards (such as Nvidia GeForce and AMD Radeon) are optimized for 3D games, where speed is more important than image quality/accuracy. While the hardware setup is very similar for both cards, there are main differences in their firmware and driver. Graphics card manufacturers typically have different product lines targeted at 'gamers' and 'professional content creation users'.

Certified AMD Radeon Pro driver: 21.Q4 Release date 2021.12.02.

Certified Nvidia Quadro Windows 10 driver: 512.78 Release date 2022.5.16.

Such tools should only be used as the last resort for troubleshooting. In rare cases where the vendor's uninstall operation is not possible, there are several tools that can help, like AMD's AMD Clean Uninstall Utility, third-party tools like Driver Cleaner, Driver Fusion, or gaming community's popular DDU Display Driver Uninstaller. Both Nvidia and AMD provide 'Clean-install' options with their driver installers. 'Clean-install' means removing all previous driver files before installing a new driver. If you experience display issues with the drivers listed below, please 'Clean-install' the driver again. It may happen that remnants of a previous installation interfere with the current driver installation. Graphics cards only perform properly if they have a hardware vendor-supplied driver (not system built-in driver) installed correctly.

Nvidia Quadro FX and Quadro (Fermi architecture) series.We do not recommend the following graphics card legacy families: Graphics cards with dedicated memory of 4GB or more are recommended to fully utilize hardware acceleration capabilities.

For Redshift's system requirements, please take a look here.įrom Archicad 26, Direct3D replaced OpenGL as 3D graphics API. We will conduct further tests in a separate article about Graphics cards' performance with Redshift in the future. This article focuses on the performance of Archicad 26 in 3D navigation using various graphics cards.
