Although integrated graphics cards (iGPU) are gradually improving in terms of performance, still perform quite badly for 3D demanding applications like Archicad. Definitely avoid the latter at the moment. We have also good experiences with most of the dedicated Nvidia's GeForce cards, somewhat middling experience with AMD cards, and very bad experience with onboard (integrated) Intel graphics cards. There are professional cards available for workstation laptops, such as the Nvidia Quadro and AMD Radeon Pro, that slightly under-perform from their desktop counterparts. Nowadays, laptop vendors are using the standardized drivers provided by chipset manufacturers. Note, that this is obviously not encouraged by your laptop supplier: FLEM ATI Radeon Legacy Modder / Nvidia legacy laptop drivers. If you are experiencing display issues with such laptops, and your vendor does not offer you a driver update, you might try - at your own risk - to tweak a desktop driver to work on your laptop. There are still laptop vendors (especially for legacy/end-of-life-support laptops) that provide their own driver support. AMD to test and certify graphics card drivers for the AMD Radeon Pro series.īoth Nvidia and AMD provide driver support for dedicated graphics cards on laptops.Nvidia to test and certify graphics card drivers for the Nvidia Quadro P and RTX series.Also, the product life cycle and driver release cycles are shorter in case of gaming cards. The manufacturers of gaming cards (such as ASUS, Sapphire, Gigabyte, PNY, etc.) may diverge from the chip manufacturer's references. Professional cards (such as Nvidia Quadro and AMD Radeon Pro) are built according to the chip manufacturer's references, so you can always be sure that the driver delivered by the chip manufacturer (e.g. Another key difference between the two product lines is the way they are delivered and supported. Also, professional cards' memory usage is optimized for using multiple application windows, while in gaming this is not relevant. 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.
