nVidia FX560 Setup

Hello All,

I like to get some input on the setup of a FX560. I am running XPP
SP2, Intel E6600 w/ 2 MB Ram. The SW site shows the latest approved
driver as 6.14.10.8426 for this graphics card. The nVidia site shows
the latest as 91.36. Does the SW driver refer only to the open GL
driver that can be installed separately or do all the nVidia drivers
need to be installed as package? Next, what are the optimal settings
for SW such as antialiasing, anisotropic filtering etc ? I have the
active profile set to Solidworks, but I am not sure this is
optimized. Lastly, should I disable nView Desktop Manager features
to improve stability? I am get some random changes in the resolution
and refresh rates on bootup from time to time.


TIA

 

I can't help much on the rest of your questions, but I can tell you that
other people in my company have had trouble with nView Desktop Manager and
have suggested that we shut it off. One of the other SolidWorks users did
stop using it and did see a decrease in problems. This came up about the
same time that people in comp.cad.solidworks suggested that some problems
could be traced to running two monitors, so he also tried just running one
monitor and had less problems, so the two effects could be getting mixed in
what he reported to me.

From what I understand, the 91.36 is a bit wacky... it doesn't fully
support SLI on some of the VC's.
Try running the 8x.xx version - check the SW website for the tested
version.
