inArtifex Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Hello I've read all the suggestions and I believe my card is well within the minimum requirements. But I'm still getting the card not meeting the requirements and no 3d modelling. i7 4790-k 32 GB ram SSD drive Nvidia Quadro K5000 4 GB latest driver 472.12 installed. When I start CA X13 I get the your graphic card doesn't meet the requirements. I checked both the directx which is version 12 and the shader which is 6.5 So not sure why I would get this error. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Have you specified that Chief is to use the Nvidia GPU? Actually I'm not sure about that particular GPU but I think it should work. If there's more than one GPU in your system it very well could be that Chief is trying to use the wrong one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inArtifex Posted October 20, 2021 Author Share Posted October 20, 2021 Thanks Joe. I did specify that it should use that GPU. Weird. I've opened up a ticket so hopefully, I can get an answer, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archnot-Boltz Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 I'm using an 2yr old GeForce GTZ 1080 (8mb) card with minimal issues (screen redraw when sending elevations to layout is slow and looks glichy while sending) and cannot utilize the New Zooty Real Time Ray Trace Feature without purchasing an expensive new card. Also, I'm using a Ryzen processor (AMD Ryzen 7 2700 Eight-Core Processor 3.4ghz) which for some reason is quite a bit slower than my co-workers Intel I-7 processor, Nvidia Card Combo. I'm currently having a helluva time with slow screen redraws (like watching grass grow) and dodgie mouse snap behavior on a project that I started in 2015 and noticed the slow down when I first saved it as an x11, then x12 and now x13. I can't remember what I used to initially draw it. I've turned off textures for section and elevation views to make it less snap dodgie when in section and elevation views. Sorry, a bit off topic. Just wanted to let the OP know that on newly created x13 jobs, my 3d works fine except for the real time RayTrace feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dermot Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 See if this tech article helps: https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-03151/message-you-are-using-a-video-card-that-does-not-meet-the-software-s-minimum-requirements.html If not, then you might want to contact technical support.

inArtifex Posted October 22, 2021 Author Share Posted October 22, 2021 As to where I found the shader info. See attached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dermot Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 I think the problem is that your card does not support the "Extended formats TypedUAVLoad". This is from the tech article about finding your shader model: Note: Some older graphics cards, such as the NVIDIA 700 series, may support shader model 6, but may be lacking a critical feature called "Extended formats TypedUAVLoad". If a graphics card does not support this feature, the word "No" will be mentioned beside this feature in the image above, and the card will not function with newer versions of Chief Architect software. I believe the quadro card you are using is similar to the 700 series cards and was first released in 2012. You could try seeing if you can install newer drivers but I think based on the age of your card that it is unlikely that you will be able to use X13 with this card. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Yes I think a 900 Series is the minimum , so anything in the 900, 1000, 2000, or 3000 Series should work. Anything in the 600 and most 700 Series ( Kepler based) is no longer supported by Nvidia as of the latest Driver release about 10 days ago. ie Driver 496.13 https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-gt-710.c1990 Mick.

Not sure if it is Astral or the current Nvidia Drivers but has been pretty consistent in X13 so far. ( no crashes though from this, still see the odd crash in Older plans while turning a 3D camera though. ) M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inArtifex Posted October 24, 2021 Author Share Posted October 24, 2021 And this just adds to my frustration. Here are the screen shots of the system and also, the GPU status from within X 13. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately it appears Dermot is right about the critical feature called "Extended formats TypedUAVLoad" not being supported on the K5000, and if ( No Forum Sig. - see mine ) it is a laptop? it mostly likely is not upgradeable , be sure to check though.

imodel Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 My preferences look just like inArtifex for a GT 640 4 GB. Everything is right and up to date except for "Extended formats TypedUAVLoad" is NO. How on earth does someone know when their shopping for a cheaper/older card if it has this feature?

imodel Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Kbird, You've got a lot of energy and I appreciate the effort. There is a lot to consume there. I think your probably right. Maybe Dermot can provide some clarity. He is the top dog software engineer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can now confirm a 970* will run X13, I had to take my 1070Ti out of my old system today, so stuck my old 970 in temporarily to test it, no RTRT in PBR of course but 3D looks fine to me. * Gigabyte G1 Gaming 4GB model Mick.

Dermot Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 "How on earth does someone know when their shopping for a cheaper/older card if it has this feature?" Personally, I would not consider buying a card that is more than 3 years old. Video card technology has been evolving too rapidly to make an older card a very good choice. Also, if you are not interested in the new real-time raytracing feature, you do not need to buy a video card that supports it. They are rather expensive and still pretty hard to get at the moment. Here is a blog article with some good info about buying a new computer and/or video card that should give good results with Chief: https://www.chiefarchitect.com/blog/computer-for-design-and-gaming/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately not all have the budget Dermot, for even a 3060, let alone a 3080 at today's crazy pricing , and for most it isn't a matter of using the new RTRT in PBR , it a matter of even being able to use X13 at all since they can't generate ANY 3D views as you noted several days ago....... so a 900 Series card off the 2nd hand market or out of a Family members' Closet will at least mean their SSA has not been wasted this year. https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/32646-are-2d-exterior-views-possible/?do=findComment&comment=256181 M.

imodel Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 So I ordered a GT 1030 2 GB. Not much of an upgrade so I hope it works. Newer boards are out of my price range and seem to be mostly out of stock. I don't use Chief often enough to justify a new system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
