Graphics requirements 3 The graphic requirements listed here reflect the minimum required to obtain acceptable simulations. 512 MB DRAM or higher, OpenGL-capable graphics card. Ensure you have installed the latest driver for your card. Please refer to the card manufacturer's website for drivers and instructions. 24-bit color setting at 1280 1024 or higher screen resolution. NOTE Autodesk does not guarantee the use of any particular graphics card. Autodesk will make every effort to work with card manufacturers to resolve any problems that may arise in the use of our software with a particular card. However, we cannot guarantee that all graphics-related issues can be fixed, as they may lie within the card manufacturer's drivers rather than Autodesk software. Recommended The software makes extensive use of OpenGL and texture mapping, therefore any device offering OpenGL acceleration and texture memory will give improved performance. Unsupported graphics cards Use of the following graphics card and drivers will potentially cause your computer to lock up.
