New Graphics Card .. Now Have Warning!
-
It says my OPEN GL setting have been reset to default,
and when I go look at Open Gl Settings I see the Use Hardware Acceleration is greyed out ..
I put the CD in when the computer booted up so it got it's driver.
I went from a GTX 260 to a 960. I've never replaced a graphics card so would appreciate any advice !

And did you insert your GPU inside the computer case too? (just kidding here)
Well but are you sure all your connections are right?
You should download drivers from nvidia site instead of cdrom.
If the driver insalled and everything is working everywhere else, then it's time to check if your nvidia settings are including sketchup (and layout) in your 3D applications list.
Right click your desktop and choose nvidia settings. Then find wich 3D applications are being dealt with by the GPU. Add sketchup and layout if needed.
-
Yeah went and got the latest drivers and it's behaving well so far, and the Open GL Settings are back to Normal ..
Looks like I got a 4 new drivers? I had it self detect which drivers I needed. Just assumed it was one 'driver'.
-
Sketchup's is the graphics driver
-
Casca, I don't understand what you said?

I have a question, I set the resolution up at the Max 1900 x 1080, but the screen size, and text, is still a bit too large now.
can I set the resolution even higher??
-
Probably not, your display will limit what is available. You are set to 1080P.
-
with digital monitors always use the native resolution of the display (here 1920 x 1080).
if Windows 7/8/10 you can check if you have fiddled with the text/icon size scaling of Windows by clicking at "Make text and other items larger or smaller" and adjust the scaling to a smaller value:
-
That did it, I was set to Max,
thanks for the tip Sketch!
-
Darn, I still have the 'missing text' problem in my exported images, with this jpg and with a tif,
that's why I got this new card, hoped it would fix this !
So what's happening with the text?
here's how it should look
and then here's the exported 6000 pixels wide Image
see the - Beam Connection - upper left is missing and the text lower left is smudged?
-
Unfortunatelly that issue isn't related with your GPU but with the way Sketchup displays text and relates text position with camera position.
Some times that happens with exported sketchup jpgs and the only solution is to place text differently, often, pushing it away from camera.
-
it's happening almost every image!
these block areas showing up in the text is the same issue,
never happened with my ol SUp Ver 5
-
Never happens to me as I use Layout for that. I keep thinking I should dimension and leader in sketchup so it's nice I have these posts to remind me why I do not.
-
chit, happening almost every image now .. 2d, or 3d images, doesn't matter
My Open GL is use Hdwr Asc and fast feedback,
my video card Program Settings set to Google SUp, what other Settings can I try?
Can I report this as a bug, to a support team??
-
yes
-
check that "Camera > Perspective" is enabled and the FoV at "Camera > Field of View" is configured to 30 degrees (or higher).
-
No I have the FOV set to 35, thanks anyway, anyone else have any ideas?
where would I report this bug??
-
default FOV differs between Make and Pro versions, it's easy enough to set it the way you prefer though...

is the model very small/big in absolute dimensions or very far away from the origin?
