P4000 Settings?

I am assuming my recently purchased P4000 card is not being utilized.  When I check performance and move around a unshaded model I see 7-9% utilization in the task manager, performance section. And it is smoothe as silk. Soon as I CTRL-S and shade the model. My frame rate drops to 1 fps if that. 0% utilization for the GPU 0 P4000 and cpu goes to 15% utilization. So I am assuming when shading the computer is not using the card for some reason. Anyone have any ideas to check?

to fix this problem i would do the following steps in the order listed until the problem went away.

1. Check Hardware acceleration as Frank mentioned, Make sure Hardware acceleration is set to enable (that is found in the mastercam advanced configuration utility, search the start menu for advanced configuration if you cant find it)

2. if the PC has an integrated graphics card, like an intel, Make sure your monitor is plugged into the Dedicated graphics card and not just the motherboard or integrated. to check this just right click on the desktop, go to display settings, then advanced display settings and see what the displays say they are connected to the P4000 card.

3. Enable Dedicated Graphics, if you dont know how to do this let us know.

4. update gfx card driver
