    Card: ATI FireGL V7700
    Driver: Catalyst 8.663.3


    No noticeable improvement over lowly Geforce 9400GT. In fact, I think the 9400GT orbitted more smoothly. How the hell is that possible? I tried turning D3D off and on, anti-aliasing off and on... no improvement.

    Good thing I only shelled $180. I would've been really ******.

    Although I'm just getting started using Revit (old ACA user) my machine seems to be running it fine. It runs ACA fine as well. I had some trouble with the Nvidia performance driver for Autocad. It prompted me to install it, but when I went to the nvidia web site, the 3800M doesn't even have a CAD performance driver available! So I uninstalled it. so far so good.

    RAC 2010
    Win 7 64 bit
    Core i7 950
    12GB ram
    Quadro FX3800

    Driver version 191.00

    This is a new PC custom built for Revit and I asked the mnfctr why they had put in an older driver for the FX3800.
    They seemed to think that it was the last one they knew was good pending checking of more recent.

    Since the driver update of middle of last year the Quadro drivers cause pre-highlighting to stay on until a bit of panning around has been done, then it is fine.

    As long as I am using the 2009 UI I don't have any problems at all.
    With the 2010 ribbon enabled I was seeing a couple of lockups or the ribbon disappearing from a family editor view every day.

    Just replaced my 1 gb GeForce 9400 GT with ATI FireGL V7700 512 mb running it on Windows 7 Revit Structure 2010 environment. I found very little difference regarding the re-generation. After using for 1 month - Screen starts to flick every time i envoke a mouse input which is very annoying. However this doesnt happen when I run Autocad 2010. Direct X is on in both cases.

    We have similar machines running same Revit Structure 2010 on Windows 7 using Nvidia FX 3800 1gb and FX 1800 768mb and both are working good.

    Thanks.

    The latest video driver from Dell has the performance driver for AutoCAD and 3dsmax. It was installed when I started the program.
    It works fine with Revit 2010. Been using since January 19.
    My only gripe is the CUDA driver. Its using a 2.2 not the latest 2.3.

    ATI,Radeon X1900 running on Mac Pro w/ 13 gigs ram. I had to turn off Direct X because when I printed a PDF, sections of walls and elements would be missing in the Elevation Views. Once I turned off Direct X, the PDF looked fine.

    Xeon W3520 2.66GHz
    Quadro FX 3800
    Windows 7 x64, drivers 191.56 & 191.97

    First impressions with HWA on: strange graphical artifacting in 2D view (sticking ghosts when drawing walls), sticking purple selection highlights in 3D view. Tried rebooting and newer drivers, no change.
