Hardware acceleration ?

[George Hardwick]

I know this question has come up loads of times in different form. And I have done a search but can seem to fine exact ans.

I have a lot of small entities in a drawing and keep getting ghosting and having to refresh screen after each click. I have tried turning acceleration right down but did not make a lot better, I did change from 32 bit col to 16 and have been able to turn acc right up again was this the trouble?

Nvidia FX5600.

 

Thanks in advance .

Did you look at your refresh rate. The higher the better.

 

When adjusting Acceleration, try moving it one notch at a time, and do alot of checking on each setting.

 

Also, I've noticed that the latest drivers aren't always the best drivers.

If that's all it takes...kewl The main difference between 32-bit and 16-bit colour is that the former uses a software palette to get colours and the latter only uses the software palette when a colour isn't available in the hardware's (your video card) palette. I've found that 16-bit colour depth treats Mastercam better

That is better first time I have been able to run full acceleration with no visible probs.
