RobotStudio 6.0.7 and material 3d acceleration on Nvidia Quaddro

EliteRobotique

Hi ! I have installed the lastest robotstudio on my computer equiped with a Quaddro FX1800 graphic card. Does anyone have found a way to activate hardware acceleration in robotstudio with this hardware ? I've got an error message that my card did'nt support Direct3D 10.1.  Changing for a gamer card is not really an option because I need it for other software.

Desktop or laptop?

Looked it up, I suppose desktop.  Do you have open slots so you could install a second card?

EliteRobotique

I think yes Does software like solidwork will be able to use the quaddro even if there is no monitor on it ? I use dual monitor on my computer

I don't know about solidworks, I don't use it.

After talking with Nvidia they did'nt recommand using a Quaddro and a Standard card in the same computer. I finally decided to change my card for a more recent one.

Quadro works fine but the FX1800 is simply too old (launched in 2009). As you found out it doesn't support DirectX 10.1 which is the minimum requirement for RobotStudio.
