Graphics performance is expected to overtake v5.1 increasingly on newer GPUs, while it may be poorer on lower-end hardware than v5.1 in some cases. o Ensuring graphics drivers are up-to-date is essential for optimal performance. For more information, see How Old Are My Graphics Drivers? on page 15. o More graphics memory the better - 4GB is standard on new cards. l Layers: o Turning layers ON or OFF should be faster for most datasets. o Tools | Options | System | Keep Layers in Memory - this enables fast layer-switching but uses more graphics memory. Disable this if very large datasets become unresponsive. l Selection-Preview: Turn off Edit | Selection Preview if you are not using it – may slow down the cursor with large polyfaces. l Transparency: Datasets with transparent objects may render slightly slower in 2016.1. However, several issues related to transparency, especially with points and layouts,have been fixed in 2016.1. l OverlayType: The new OverlayType property should be used with caution as it may impact performance if applied to a large number of entities. l Lighting: Shaded polyfaces may render faster with fewer light sources. Use Format | Lighting to remove unnecessary lights. l Points: o Points and point collections render much faster. o Consolidate large numbers of POINT entities into POINTS collections to minimize drawing time and memory consumption. o Use the POINTS entity's IconFilename property to enable icon point styles which can be much faster for large collections. l Inserts: Rendering of large numbers of Inserts is faster for inserts with lines or solid-filled lines. l Anti-aliasing: Anti-aliasing improves rendering quality with a (slight) decrease in performance. Anti-aliasing can be controlled in Tools | Options. If anti-aliasing does not seem to have any effect, check your graphics cards settings (NVIDIA® or AMD® control panel). l Snapping: Snapping precision has been improved. Issues with responsiveness, especially with large polyfaces, should have been fixed. l Memory Consumption: If memory consumption is very high, and graphics is unresponsive with large datasets: 4 Deswik.Suite 2016.1 Release Notes o Try turning off Use OpenGL lists in Tools | Options | System to reduce memory usage. o Tools | Options | System | Keep Layers in Memory - Disable this if very large datasets become unresponsive. o Remember to turn these ON again, to restore normal graphics performance! l Power Options: Ensure Power Saver mode is not enabled (Control Panel | Power Options). l Graphics Logging: If reporting an issue with the graphics, please attach the "glInfo.txt" log file from the Deswik.Suite install folder. ANTI-ALIASING Anti-aliasing improves display quality (especially for lines and text) by smoothing artifacts and jagged lines, text, and polyface edges which are inherent in digitized displays. Anti-aliasing achieves this at the expense of display refresh performance, which varies across graphics cards. This option allows the user to control the trade-off between quality and performance. l Set anti-aliasing level in Tools | Options | System. l Ensure anti-aliasing is not disabled in your graphics control panel. 5 6 .
