Changes from the previous database

Changes to version 1.1.1.4

  • Smooth Line display is disabled for ATI cards using driver 6618.

    Note: It is recommended that you disable the Smooth Line display feature when OpenGL is configured for a non-certified ATI card that uses a driver different than 6613.


  • ATI Radeon cards are now Supported for AutoCAD when using drivers 6606 and 6618 (Catalyst 6.4 and 6.6). These cards do not support the Selection Area display fill area. If you see artifacts when using the Selection Area, you can turn it off setting SELECTIONAREA to 0.
  • The following tables display new graphic cards and drivers that have been added to version 1.1.1.4. The tables also show existing graphics cards whose drivers have been updated since version 1.1.1.3.

  1. The list of Graphic cards did not include the
    Nvidia Quadro FX 4400
    I have one in my system and have never been happy with it.(very slow)
    Is this an over sight or is it not certified?

  2. I have a quick question,
    I’m going to be purchasing a new computer for my office and the Graphics Card choice i would like is the 512MB NVIDIA GeForce 8500GT, TV-out, DVI-I, HDMI. I’ve looked on AutoDesk’s list of Certified & Tested Cards, and this one is not mentioned. Will it still work well with AutoCAD 2007 & AutoCAD Architecture, or will there be problems?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated,
    James

  3. James,
    We normally do not recommend GeForce cards as they are primarily gaming cards and nVidia only supports the workstation class cards for CAD and high end graphics like the Quadro. I am pretty sure this card would work just fine but perhaps not optimally by being able to be tuned by our performance tuner. We have not recieved this card for official testing yet.
