Users may wish to disable graphics hardware acceleration to determine if a particular issue is specific to their graphics adapter or graphics driver. The use of graphics hardware acceleration on Windows platforms may cause display problems with some graphics adapters or drivers. Updated graphics tuning parameters are included in the graphicsConfig.env file, which can be downloaded and placed in your Abaqus installation. These changes are intended to configure Abaqus to best utilize individual graphics devices. We may update graphics tuning parameters for graphics devices. We recommend that you use the tested driver version if you experience problems. NOTE: Newer driver versions for the graphics card listed on this page are expected to work, but may not be compatible. Other devices may be compatible but have not been tested. However, we cannot certify that these devices are completely compatible with all possible hardware and software configurations. SIMULIA tests specific graphics devices to ensure adequate performance with Abaqus/CAE and Abaqus/Viewer the graphics devices that have been tested (or scheduled for testing) are listed in the tables below.
