Hardware Acceleration in 2D with AC10 ???

[Anonymous]

Hello, can someone help me find where the hardware acceleration (openGL) for the 2D drawing is - in AC10. In AC9 there is an option for OpenGL optimization not only for 3D but also for 2D , and it works great. In AC10 i cannot find that option under the Work Environment as in AC9.

- Work Environment / 2D Redraw Options / Optimise drawing method for high performance video cards - (the path in AC9)

Is that option not included in AC10 ? I hope it is, because as i test AC10 works 2x slower than AC9.

Thanks.

Zones especially seem to take forever to place and any time I pan, the elements that were previously offscreen draw VERY slowly..

I have noticed some zone related performance issues as well, but they don't seem much worse than in AC9. I don't have any very large projects to compare with yet. A large one I am working on is still in the assembly stage - unit and building modules under construction. I'll keep my eye on this as the site plans start to get assembled.

IS ANYONE ELSE HAVING PROBLEMS LIKE THIS?


I'm having trouble that might be similar with AC10. I'm running a Sager np4500: AMD 64 3700 processor, Mobility Radeon 9700 128Mb, 2 Gb RAM. 3D seems to be working well, but zooming is really slow and jumpy and doesn't follow the cursor. I didn't have any trouble with AC9.[quote

Yes - ABSOLUTELY

I'm running a dual 3 gig Xeon with 2 gig of RAM and a 256 workstation graphics card. ArchiCAD 10 crawls in both 2D and 3D compared to 9 - so much so that I was doing a simple 2d feasibility planning study and gave up in 10 and exported it to 9. It may be all the guide lines, pet pallates etc. - but surely a small simple project, on what I consider to be a fairly top end spec system, should show no appreciable slow down.

On the 3D side any projects I've opened have been slower to rebuild, redraw, navigate anything - everything about this release appears to be over-complicated at the expense of performance!

- bring back 4.5

I am also having problems with the 2D and 3D display in Archicad 10. I am working on a 800,000 sq. ft. project on a 100 acre site and I have no problems with the display or performance in 9. I have checked the ignore hardware acceleration in the 3d view window in 10. The project I am working on was created in 9 and is still accessing the 9 library.

Yes, so much so that I am about to buy a new workstation graphics card. As that will be PCIe I thought it would be a good opportunity to get a complete new system, with an Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 processor with 4MB cache.

ArchiCAD had already got poor graphics performance, but if there is no more 2D hardware acceleration in AC10 I am disappointed. Maybe I'll have to overclock the processor and get water cooling to get anything like the slickness you get with 3ds max or AutoCAD (the only good thing about AutoCAD).

Hardware incompatibilities aside, layer visibility control DOES go a long way to smooth out infinitely complex projects.....

Hello,

I have the same problem.
My computer is : PIV C 2.4 go / 2 go ram / video card 256 mo

I want to buy a core 2 duo and a quadro fx.
I hope it will be ok !!
