If you are experiencing display issues with your laptop, and your supplier does not offer you a driver update, you might try - at your own risk - to tweak a desktop driver to work on your laptop. This makes it practically impossible for us to test laptop video cards.

#ARCHICAD SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS DRIVERS#

In most cases, graphic card drivers for laptops are supplied by the laptop manufacturer, and graphic card vendor supplied drivers (so called 'reference drivers') won't be installed on laptops.

These product lines are recommended by GRAPHISOFT for Archicad 21 as well.

AMD to test and certify video card drivers for the AMD FirePro V, W and Radeon Pro WX series.These product lines are recommended by GRAPHISOFT for Archicad 21. Nvidia to test and certify video card drivers for the Nvidia Quadro K, M and P series.Also, the product life cycle and driver release cycles are much shorter in case of gaming cards. The manufacturers of gaming cards (such as ASUS, Sapphire, Gigabyte, PNY, etc.) may diverge from the chip manufacturer's references, so their drivers may not be compatible with the chip manufacturer's reference driver. Professional cards (such as Nvidia Quadro and AMD FirePro ) are built according to the video chip manufacturer's references, so you can always be sure that the driver delivered by the video chip manufacturer (e.g. Another key difference between the two product lines is the way they are delivered and supported. Also, professional cards' memory usage is optimized for using multiple application windows, while in gaming this is not relevant. Typically a 3D model in a game contains a low number of polygons with textures applied to them, while polygon count is high in CAD modeling, and the quality of the stationary image of the wireframe or the shaded model is more important than navigation speed. 'Gamer' cards (such as Nvidia GeForce and AMD/ATI Radeon) are optimized for 3D games, where speed is more important than image quality. While the hardware setup is very similar for both cards, there are main differences in their firmware and driver. Graphic card manufacturers typically have different product lines targeted for 'gamers' and 'professional users'.

Unfortunately, a simple uninstall may not efficiently remove all components of a driver, but there are several tools that can help you, like AMD's cat uninstaller or third party tools like driver cleaner or driver cleaner pro 1.5 Video Card driversĬertified Nvidia Quadro Windows 10 driver: R375 U7 (377.35) Release date Certified Nvidia Quadro Windows 8.1 driver: R375 U7 (377.35) Release date Certified AMD FirePro V driver: 15.201.2401.1010 Release date Certified AMD FirePro W driver: 17.Q2 Release date Certified AMD Radeon Pro driver (Windows 10 only): 17.Q2 Release date Nvidia GeForce driver win 10: 382.33 Release date: Nvidia GeForce driver win 8.1: 382.33 Release date: AMD Radeon driver: 17.5.2 Release Date 'Clean-install' means removing all previous driver files before installing a new driver. If you experience display issues with the drivers listed below, please 'clean-install' the driver again. It may happen that remnants of a previous installation interfere with the current driver installation. Video cards only perform properly if they have a hardware vendor supplied driver (not system built-in driver) installed correctly. NVidia Quadro FX and Quadro (Fermi architecture) series.We do not recommend the following video cards:

Windows Specific Recommendations OpenGL 2.0 compatible graphics card with on board memory of 1024 MB or more is recommended to fully exploit hardware acceleration capabilities.
