Just got a new NVIDIA Quadro M4000 video card for my computer at work. The IT Guy and I jokingly requested it… However, despite this amazing piece of equipment I’m getting worse results than I had before. I have scoured the help topics, adjusted OpenGL settings in every which way, double checked the…

drop the Quadro and switch to a GTX 1060 w/ 50% better performance for 30% of the price… … if this isn’t feasible try if the 32-bit version of SU improves the OpenGL performance of the used, preferrably latest Quadro driver .

My old card was a ATI FirePro™ V4800 with 1GB, so that’s the main reason why I’m confused about the worse performance. Even if the Quadro’s aren’t the best with SU, I would still expect better performance than the old card. Can you explain a bit about what makes the GTX actually perform better? As …

Update: I changed the settings in the NVIDIA control panel over to 3D - app Modeling AFR and that seems to help. I also double checked and during exporting of an animation directly from Sketchup I am maxing out one core of the CPU (which I understand that is all that SketchUP will do). I haven’t w…

[image] MoPoCoDESIGN: Also have not switched over to 32-bit to try that yet. Su is only single core but rendering apps use multiple. Make sure you have cores enabled; Rendering puts max load on graphics. Have you tried monochrome to see if that makes any difference; Have you or IT support t…

[image] MoPoCoDESIGN: now I’m running slower than before. Is this slow-ness experienced when producing animations? or whilst modeling - orbit, zoom, showing shadow. Because orbit, zoom, showing shadow, and etc are directly related to the graphics card. As you have said, changing NVIDIA contr…

It’s been awhile since I’ve been back to the forum but I have some more updates. Most of my issues were showing up when I would orbit, pan, zoom, etc.As you guys have mentioned I found that SketchUp itself doesn’t really take advantage of the graphics card as well as some other programs (rendering …

[image] MoPoCoDESIGN: Can you explain a bit about what makes the GTX actually perform better? As a novice looking over the specs, it doesn’t seem like it should perform any better. FirePro 3D V4800 vs. Quadro M4000 vs. GeForce GTX 1060 hth
