Question

Which graphics card is recommended by Dlubal Software?


Answer:

For working with RFEM and RSTAB, we recommend a graphics card that accelerates the OpenGL functions on the hardware side. This is the case with all current graphics cards.

We recommend cards equipped with an NVIDIA graphics processor. However, RFEM and RSTAB do not necessarily need CAD high-performance graphics cards (NVIDIA Quadro ...).

The drivers of the graphics cards must always be kept up to date.

The drivers of mainstream graphics cards (NVIDIA GeForce ...) are better tuned by the driver to different computer configurations, which is why there are far fewer problems with these than with CAD cards. We do not recommend graphics solutions that are integrated into the chipset or main processor (Intel HD xxxx, G xx, Qxx).

Notebooks are often equipped with two graphics chips; a power-saving Intel HD chip integrated into the processor, and an additional powerful graphics chip (for example, from NVIDIA or AMD). In this case, it is necessary to ensure that RFEM and RSTAB use a powerful graphics chip.
