Qualified OpenGL Graphics Boards for Pro/DESKTOP
Pro/DESKTOP enables users to take advantage of hardware implementations of OpenGL. We have undertaken qualification of a small set of graphics boards in house. As and when qualification of other graphics hardware is completed, this information will be updated.
The following table lists the graphics boards qualified for use with Pro/DESKTOP, and the configurations on which they have been tested. It is important to use the correct settings in the configuration dialog that accompanies the graphics board. The configuration settings are often found on an additional tab in the Windows display properties dialog. Although you may be able to use resolutions other than those listed in the table, it is often the case that only certain combinations will enable acceleration for Pro/DESKTOP.
If you are in doubt as to whether you are getting acceleration, or you wish to test a graphics board or configuration not listed below, we have provided a test program that you can run. It will indicate whether Pro/DESKTOP will be accelerated in your current configuration.
