You should verify and update your graphics card driver to optimize AutoCAD 2009. Use the following procedure to identify your current graphics card driver.
To identify your graphics card driver
- Start AutoCAD 2009.
- At the Command prompt, enter 3dconfig.
- In the Adaptive Degradation and Performance Tuning dialog box, click View Tune Log.
- Review the 3D Device section for information about your system's graphics card driver and driver version.
If you find that you do need to update your driver, visit http://www.autodesk.com/autocad-graphicscard to find a certified driver for your graphics card. If you do not find one, visit the graphics card manufacturer's website.
NoteIf the graphics card manufacturer
does not have an updated driver, check the system manufacturer's
website. Companies like IBM, Hewlett Packard, and Dell often supply
their own system drivers.
