I recently got a PC upgrade to an i7-960 CPU, Win7 64-bit, and an ATI FireGL V8650 2GB PCIe videocard.
Wildfire 4.0 M010, 32-bit.
The 3d performance is fine; it can manipulate complex models pretty smoothly, so it seems like the 32-bit Pro-E is working ok with the 64-bit OS.
The problem comes when it tries to render plain lines, either when I right-click a feature in the model tree and click "Edit" and it draws all the dimensions on the model, or else in drawing files. In drawing files, it is slow. Dragging a simple view with about 8 dimensions on it can take 7 seconds to finish the move. The FireGL card specs say that the card supports hardware-accelerated lines.
In config.pro, the Graphics mode is set to OpenGL.
I had a non-Quadro 9800GT 1GB card in the previous system (WinXP 32-bit), and it was a fair bit quicker in drawings, though there was still some lag when moving drawings. That card was not reused in the new system, as its RAM was starting to fail.
Before that, I was on an old Quadro 128MB card - its 3d performance was awful, but it was liquid-smooth in drawings.
Is there something that can be done to speed up this FireGL card? Some setting I'm missing?
