Simulation Graphics Issues on Desktop with NVIDIA Graphics Card

Simulation Graphics Issues on Desktop with NVIDIA Graphics Card

Are your Simlog simulation visuals stuttering, lagging, or behaving oddly on a desktop PC? If you're running a system with an NVIDIA graphics card but still getting poor performance, there's a good chance your display is connected to the wrong video output.

This typically happens when the monitor is plugged into the integrated graphics output on the motherboard instead of the dedicated NVIDIA card. Integrated graphics often lack the power needed for 3D simulation and can cause dramatic slowdowns or visual glitches.

What You Should Do

  1. Physically check your monitor connection: Make sure your monitor is connected to the graphics ports on your NVIDIA card, not the motherboard.
  2. Update your NVIDIA drivers: Visit the official NVIDIA Driver Download Page and install the latest drivers. Don’t rely on automatic updates from your PC manufacturer.

Making these changes typically resolves display issues instantly. If not, reach out to us for hands-on assistance.
