Terrible performance with FX1300
Terrible performance with FX1300
(OP)
I have just got a "newer" video card, a Quador FX1300. I am running xp 64, 1.5 GB of Ram, and and AMD Athlon 3200+. I am experienceing terrible performance with this card. I think that SW 2007 ran better off of the onboard video slot that I was using before this. I have downloaded the lastest drivers from Nvidia's site, and also tried the recommended drives off of SW's homepage.
An example of the performance. I have a small assembly of 30-40 parts, it rotates very, very slow, and all of the parts turn to blocks while I am rotating it. The rotation is very jerky and not smooth like I have seen on others machines that I have used.
Any help is apperciated,
Thanks,

Were the drivers properly uninstalled before installing the new ones?

I will try the hardware Opengl and let you know.
I did not uninstall the old drivers, i just updated them.
Thanks

I wonder if this is a problem with the x64 video drivers, because it works fine on my 32 OS

RE: Terrible performance with FX1300
I am working with the files this way because I am modifying these particular assemblies and don't want to accidently save changes to the parts that will not be modified. Any suggestions to work around this would be appreciated as well. I am not running PDM works, would it help this problem?
Thanks.
