Answer: Since there are very many different graphics boards and manufacturers
in the market, it is not possible for us to recommend individual graphics
cards for CAD use. The following manufacturers use exclusively or almost exclusively Nvidia Graphic chips: Abit, Asus, Chaintech, Creative, Gainward, Leadtek, MSI, Sparkle In the following list of the graphic chips by Nvidia you can find suitable
graphics cards of the OEM manufacturers mentioned. Graphic chips by Nvidia: Quadro4 * (900XGL, 750XGL, 700XGL, 550XGL) Quadro2 * (ex, MXR, pro) GeForce4 * (Ti 4600, Ti 4400, MX 460, MX 440, MX 420) GeForce3 * (Ti 500, Ti 200) GeForce2 (Ti, pro, Ultra, MX, GTS, GeForce 256) TNT2 (pro, M64, Ultra, TNT2) * = recommended graphic chips for visualisation and animation. Other recommendable graphic cards: 3DLabs Wildcat 5000 *, 3DLabs Wildcat
5110 * Note: The graphic cards of the manufacturers ATI, Elitegroup and Matrox are operated with drivers by manufacturers that were not tested by us. In the direct animation in Allplan, based on OpenGL, these cards have every now and then problems. OpenGL: The real time animation (animation window universal model or
- element selection) in Allplan uses OpenGL as hardware acceleration. In principle graphic cards can also be used which do not support the
OpenGL hardware acceleration, since the current Windows versions contain
the so-called Generic OpenGL. |
