Thanks for that.</P><P>Have been told by some on here that my updates are out of date. Went out to update but apparently I'm no longer supported (2020). Any idea how I can get the latest update for 2020?

Since 2020 is more than 3, you may encounter update problems. But on second thought since 2020 is not that far back, you can actually submit a request to Autodesk to use even older than that well at least 2020 is not that old. But if you’re not on subscription then all bets are off.&nbsp;</P> Sat, 01 Jul 2023 23:48:42 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-forum/graphics-card-performance/m-p/12074106#M33295 paullimapa 2023-07-01T23:48:42Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-forum/graphics-card-performance/m-p/12074109#M33296 <P>.... not on subscription</P> Sat, 01 Jul 2023 23:49:49 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-forum/graphics-card-performance/m-p/12074109#M33296 payingtoomuch 2023-07-01T23:49:49Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-forum/graphics-card-performance/m-p/12074111#M33297 <P>sorry then...</P> Sat, 01 Jul 2023 23:50:33 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-forum/graphics-card-performance/m-p/12074111#M33297 paullimapa 2023-07-01T23:50:33Z
