inventor 10 with newer graphics cards

[Anonymous]

Just replaced my old workstation with Dell T7400 with a QuadroFX3700. Our company uses IV10, but I also use 2009Pro for FEA's. The FX3700 is too new to have any certified drivers for IV10. Seem to be having similar graphic card issues I had with my old Quadro FX3000 with a driver newer than 77.56 (last certified IV10 driver). (error loading segment, browser bar blanks out..) Is there something I can do to get the FX3700 to work reliably with IV10 or do I need to change to a card with drivers tested on IV10. (I updated the IV10 hardware library with latest version)

I think your system is using DirectX10 with your FX3700 card. IV10 is only
DirectX9 compliant. You will need to switch your system down to DirectX9

I unloaded the 169.42 driver (for XP SP2, IV2009, Open GL) and replaced it with the 169.39 driver (for Direct3D). Also added the 3gb swich to the boot.ini file and IV10 seems to be running stable. Thanks for the help.
