Hi there,
My company recently upgraded our CAD dept hardware as everybody was just on 7+ year old hardware and it was showing it's age. With constant freeze ups. I do know as a newer employee here we do not do things super efficiently. Not utilizing sheet sets, our block library of parts is outdated and has many issues. Hardware was killing our productivity and having us barely keeping up with demand. Thankfully I was the front runner for getting us new hardware. I spec'd out custom built rigs:
14900k
128gb DDR5
Went the Radeon Pro W7700 Route instead of NVidia just for AutoCAD certificated GPU drivers.
Samsung 990 1tb
I have been running the machine about 1.5 weeks and been fine tuning and working out the "custom" bugs. The only one I haven't been able to figure out is the graphics driver or something keeps crashing maybe once a day. my 3 screens flash to black and back on. AutoCAD turns hdw accel off. Which I can turn right back on. I already set this to DirectX 11 which lessen the frequency they happen but none the less still happen I'm running the 23.Q4 driver. We had freeze up issues with our company rollback software, but once we caught on to it all CAD computers were exempted from the list.
My questions to all of you is, is there a root cause of this? I know AMD isn't the preferred but it was within the budget for an AutoCAD certified GPU with 16gb Vram. Is it a driver issue? AutoCAD issue? Or boil it down to a hardware issue to RMA?
