Graphic card K4000

Hi All,

Does anyone know if the card nvidia quadro K4000 supports rendering in autocad architecture 2010?

I found a lot of drivers for other autodesk softwear but nothing for architecture. 

How best to set the card to use it in AutoCAD? Anyone could help?

 

I put below a log from settings.

It should be find.  Here is a WHQL certified driver. Your Autodesk driver database likely is outdated so it won't show as certified, but you can override any setting it disables.

I'm assuming Windows 64-bit here...

You need to take the Autodesk "Recommended" drivers and cards with a grain of salt. For example, if you have a quadro 600 and you check the Autodesk website, it may tell you a driver is certified that is a year old. Because once a newer card comes out (like a K600), they don't seem to test any newer drivers on the older cards. So if you want to use the most up to date driver on a card that is a year old or more, the Performance Tuner will say it is not certified. I use a FirePro V5800, which is 2 FirePro generations old. Their recommended driver is from August 2011, but I'm using the newest driver from March 2013 so it says it is not certified. Don't ever hold your breath waiting for Autodesk to catch up to what's current because it's not going to happen.

You obviously have a K4000 according to your screen shot, so you should simply go by if it works well or not. If it's working good then there is nothing to worry about.
