Is this a good card?? My file is tremendously slow in elevation views. When I work on something, everything has a 2-3 second delay. Not good considering my productivity has fell to the floor. I need to get this fixed and want to get the right video card from NVIDIA. That's who our IT guy goes through. Suggestions? Attached you'll see a video of how slow this is... Thanks, Lorne

do you get this delay on all files, or just what would be considered large files?

Well this is our first project that is in CDs in Revit. We have lots of others that are in SD and DD phases, so not as much information in the model itself. The file is only 35 MB though. I went through the Review Warnings and got it down to 1 and it was still slow. I also purged out everything not used. So 0 items to purge and 1 warning (which I'm about to fix). I've also done file maintenance on it, and opened the file with Audit and resaved our locals to clean up any unwanted file information. Other than that, I don't know what else it is besides video card. I have 3.25 GB of ram. Duo Core Processor.

What then could it be? Anything else as far as computer hardware goes? My coworker has a newer machine and his works just fine. Same file.

Have you enabled OpenGL hardware Acceleration in revit options under the Graphics tab? This allows revit to use the video card to boost performance, will difinitely help in the elevations when shadows are turned on.

Hello, Ok well I found out what the issue was. After I got a new graphics card, I still had the issue. Yes, I did check the Open GL in settings. That just made it worse and it crashed. Then I realized our IT guy installed Revit from our disk. We have a new build on our server. So I reinstalled on that, and it worked! After all this, I finally figured it out and it was soo simple. Thanks for all yoru suggestions, Best, Lorne
