TurboCAD Performance Tip Video Lecture - TurboCAD A Complete Course - Design

okay I'm going to go over a pretty
serious performance problem with turbo
CAD 2017 my system I've actually got two
graphics cards two graphics chips one's
the AMD Radeon and the other is the
onboard HD Graphics 4000 chip now when
I'm in turbo CAD and in red SDK mode
which uses the GPU if I go to options
and native draw I can verify which
graphics card is loaded and so if I go
to this show video system info notice it
tells me it's the HD graphics card
that's not ideal I want to use the
Radeon card so I'm going to go over how
to solve that problem because you will
run into some pretty severe performance
issues so for instance if I'm drawing
this polyline and I plot my first point
and I mean my cursor notice how slow
this is going finally the point shows up
and my line shows up and if I go to line
and try to continue drawing I run into
problems so we're going to just escape
out of this and shut turbo cat down okay
so the way I got around this is I went
to the AMD site and I downloaded their
driver which comes with this interface
here and if I go to Radeon additional
settings it will come up with this
dialog here and I will be able to assign
any application that I want to use the
MD graphics chip so I'm going to add an
application here and I am going to go to
see Program Files MSI
2017 program 64 hit the T key go down to
ITC 24 exe which is double cat 2017 and
we'll open that one and now I have it
here and so I'm
say choose high-performance here in this
case and apply then I must going to go
to my going to go to my global settings
here which is this top one and notice
that the battery and plugged in options
are set to optimize using power savings
so in this case and actually I'm going
to leave the battery 1 as is I'm going
to change the plug-in option to maximum
maximize performance and in fact it's
highly recommended that whenever you're
using turbo CAD you plugged in a laptop
in or keep it plugged in so I'm going to
say ok there and now I should be good
you can save that as a preset which is
what I've done there and now I'm going
to fire turbo CAD backup and once it
comes up I'll choose new from scratch
let's go over that same tool again and
see if we get better performance so
actually before I do that I'm going to
just double check I'll go to options
native draw and check my graphics
setting here and this time it is using
the Radeon as I'm expecting it to so
I'll say ok and now I want to come in
and choose my tool notice I can draw I
can right click it's operating at a
level that I'm expecting close alright
so the key is understanding whether you
have one or more graphics cards then if
you have more than one in my case I've
got a Radeon I'm not sure how the Nvidia
graphics cards will work but it's
probably a similar option and then just
go through the additional settings to
optimize your performance and choose
which applications you want to use the
high performance
cards I hope this is helpful and have
fun using turbo CAD
