Geforce GTX 960M

[Anonymous]

Hello, I'm having some major problems with Autodesk Revit. When i have a bulding running i 3d, and trying to orbit around it, my pc frezes and take a long while before getting there. I know that the gfx is not on the supported list, but that being said, I still think it should work a bit better than it is. Do any of you have any good idead for this? My last solution is to try install win10 and see if that is helping. My Specs: Nvidia GTX 960M Intel Core(TM) i7-4720HQ CPU @ 2.60Ghz 16GB ram Win8.1 (64bit) Driverversion (gfx) 353.90 Please help... Regards, Mads

Happy New Year, Mads!

Thank you for the question. I understand that the navigation by orbit in 3D views seems to hang on your computer. I have checked your video card and you are right it is not a certified one for Revit. In such situations you may try to install a different driver, a newer one if it exists (you can download and check this on the site of Nvidia). To see if the issue relates to the video card you may switch off the hardware acceleration in R menu/ Options/ Graphics dialog and see if there is any improvement.
Besides your proposal, to update the operating system, you may check the mouse/ mouse driver as well - if you have possibility please try a different one on your computer and check if the performance will be enhanced.

Certfied video cards can be checked here: http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/syscert?id=18844534&siteID=123112

Good luck and please keep us informed about the result.

Hi Orsolya,

Im dealing with the same problem, almost impossible to run Revit 2016 with my Geforce GTX 960M on Windows 10. Launching Revit takes at least 2 min, and the toolbar starts showing up partially as i go over it with my mouse, no way to orbit smoothly over a standard complex proyect and after a 5 - 10 min no way to keep using Revit. I understand it is not a certified graphic card, but it should be way up to the standards needed for running "medium-size" proyects. 

I updated Revit with both service packs 1 and 2, updated the drivers of my graphic card... but theres no change at all. On the other hand, i have absolutely no issues running the same proyects on Lumion, which is supposed to be more demanding, Autodesk Navis works perfectly well also!

Is there anything i could try?? I would be very gratefull if you could help me out!!

The 960M should be flying...especially in 3D.  I would look to see that the 960 is the primary card in display properties;  Make sure the %Temp% directory is cleared out; and make sure there is lots of hard drive space on the workstation.

I have exactly the same problem, someone who has solve it out?

Can you turn off hardware acceleration in the software like you can in Autocad?

We had the same symptoms on workstations running Autocad with non certified video cards. Turning off hardware aceleration in the system tab of options eliminated the symptoms.

ervin.david I have the same issue with NVIDIA GTX 960 and the turning off the hardware accelerator does nothing.

I decided to switch to Rhino as it's lightweight and doesn't take ages to process orbit, move object..etc.

I have struggled with Revit on three computers for the last two years (one of them 32GB Workstations with Quadro Graphics) but decided to save my time eventually and learn a new software that works without so many issues.
