      Hello all !!
      Yesterday, My old card is dead (nvidia 6800gt)
      Today, I bought a new card (8600gt 512MB) but now I can't use hardware acceleration in option on Sketchup 😞

      How can I activated this option ?
      This card don't run in OpenGL?
      If i must change, what card nvidia must I buy?
      Thank you for your help 😛

        I have the same problem at home. A new graphics card that doesn't play well with SU, but I don't do enough work at home to worry about it.

        Has anyone ever posted or compiled a list of good graphics cards that work well with SU? Especially ones in the 100 to 150 dollar catagory, or better yet under 100 dollars.

        At work I use a Nivida GeForce 7800 GTX, although dated it has performed and still performs great.

          The first thing to do is install the latest drivers and see if that helps, often out dated (or the wrong) drivers can cause lots of problems.

          As for a graphics card list, have a look here: http://groups.google.com/group/SketchUp/web/graphics-card-feedback?hl=en
