Hardware Acceleration disabled

Anonymous — Fri, 03 Jun 2016 00:07:18 GMT

Hello,

I just bought an iMac :

iMac (Retina 5K, 27 pouces, fin 2015)

3,3 GHz Intel Core i5

8 Go 1867 MHz DDR3

AMD Radeon R9 M395 2048 Mo

And I'm running Revit 2015/or 2016 via parrallels desktop 11.

The message "Hardware acceleration disabled. Software emulation mode is in use" is stopping the process everytime.

Can somebody advise please ?

Many thanks 🙂

Marina

Thanks for your answer.

My card is not certified. The card name is Parallels Display Adaptater WDDM.

So is there any other way to run Revit on my computer ?

Thanks for your help.

any resolution on this?

also, am i correct in assuming the disabling of the hardware acceleration is may be to blame for frequent graphic issues and crashing?
