AutoCAD Architecture 2016 will not use my nVidia graphics card (Quadro K1100M). It works fine with ACA 2015 and ACA2014. I'm using a Dell USB 3.0 Dock with DisplayLink 7.7.60366 drivers so i thought it was because of the dock. I tried launching ACA 2016 without connecting the dock and i get the same thing. I tried setting ACA 2016 to use the NVIDIA graphics card in the NVIDIA control panel and it still doesn't work. if i Launch ACA 2015 and ACA 2016 then ACA 2015 will use the NVIDIA graphics card but ACA 2016 will not. I'm at a loss. Any help would be much apprciated.



Here are my system specs:


  • Dell Precision M3800
  • Windows 8.1 (x64)
  • i7-4702HQ CPU @ 2.20GHz
  • 16.0GB RAM
  • NVIDIA Quadro K1100M

Thanks Much,

Jeff
