Hello ChiefTalk posters,
First time poster here! We just picked up Chief Architect here at our office and we're trying to get our stock Dell Inspiron 3650 up to snuff to render properly (initially, the rendering engine would crash when zooming in or out too fast or even when simply generating perspective overviews). We found we originally had 4 gigs of RAM, and successfully upgraded to the 16gigs of RAM prescribed on the ChiefA system requirements page. The same problems are still persisting, but less often, suggesting that I'm on the right track but that the video card is still insufficient for this level of 3d processing.
That all being said, do any of you know of a good video / graphics card that is compatible with a Dell Inspiron 3650 and is, without a doubt, capable of running ChiefA smoothly and quickly? Budget isn't a massive concern, but keeping it affordable is of course ideal. Any other tips for maximizing ChiefA performance besides RAM and video card mods would be hugely appreciated.
Thanks everyone, I appreciate the time.

p.s. The current graphics card in the computer is the stock Intel HD Graphics 510, which is listed as acceptable for ChiefA, but it still crashes consistently.
