Algodoo extremly slow

Postby johanlang » Tue May 17, 2011 4:37 pm

Hi there!

Im fimiliar with this link: http://www.algodoo.com/wiki/UpdateDrivers

I have the latest drivers, for the nVidia GeForce 6150 graphic card.
The computer is named Dell Optiplex 740 Enhanced.

This is a big issue, since we got around 100 computers of this model in our school environment!

Please help me...

Best regards,
Johan

I think it is a bad issue...

The GPU you are talking about is an embedded GPU.
These GPUs are fairly weak compared to even cheaper cards.

I suggest you look into getting new Graphic Cards for the machines, with a ram of atleast 512mb ram.
Good luck,
Shane

Thanks for your answer Shane!

Since these computers are only 3-4 years old, I could never imagine that the gpu's could be so terrible bad :) Its not like you start to troubleshoot that kind of things these days!

Well it's not how old they are, it's how powerful they are. Like he said, onboard graphics normally aren't very good. I wouldn't recommend buying all of the cards now, though. Just buy one and see if that's the problem.
