    Default NVIDIA Video Card Profile

    Does anyone have a saved profile that works very well with revit? I have recently had problems with the settings and its causing new views to freeze for a few seconds before opening - then leaving the screen looking distorted till i zoom in and out.

    I have a FX1400 Video card with 128 meg ram and a fx-55 amd athlon with 4 gig ram

    Ben,

    Are you using that card with OpenGL turned on? How about overlay planes? Who is the manufacture of your card? What drivers are you using? Did you have it working correctly with OpenGL at one point?

    Its an NVIDIA FX-1400 made by nvidia, it once worked without any trouble, i have both opengl and overplay planes enabled...and my video card supports both as they are both turned on. I have tried disabling the planes (which doesnt seem to make a major difference in performance) But turning opengl off is a major performance hit.

    The chipset/gpu is by nvidia, but the card is by someone else. Not all will work with Revit due to driver programming.

    Is it possible that you updated your video card drivers recently? I have found that the some of the newer versions of the Nvidia drivers don't play well with Revit. You might try rolling back your video drivers to the previous version.
