I recently installed AutoCAD on my personal laptop after needing to use it at an internship. I noticed that when I try to run AutoCAD using my laptop's graphics card it has some MAJOR problems - rendering the program useless. However, when using my integrated intel graphics it runs just fine. Obviously this doesn't affect me too much because I can just run the software using my Intel graphics, but I would like to know if there is a reason that the nVidia card doesn't agree with AutoCAD and if there is a way to fix it. Here's a video to show the difference.
My laptop specs are:
i7 running between 1.1GHz and 3.5GHz
32GB ram at 1600MHz (CAS Latency of 9)
nVidia 670M (1.5GB memory)
(sorry for the mediocre video quality - I figured there was no reason to waste bandwidth with a huge file.)
The AutoCAD2015 graphics system does not play well with many video cards/video drivers. My typical advice is to experiement with different drivers, but unfortunately, many have only found relief by disabling Hardware Acceleration (GRAPHICSCONFIG)
