About Hardware Acceleration

[djjss]

Hello:

On Windows 7 when I try to check the Hardware Acceleration option under Performance in Preferences, it tell me, Unsupported Machine Configuration, with the following msg:

 

Well, I upgrade to Windows 10, to be able to use this option, I updated every single driver, and still don't letting me mark this option. As u can see, it require "Windows 10.0.19042" the same Windows version I have, I updated the direct X, openGL, everything, and still don't let me mark the option.

My video card is "Nvidia GeForce GTX 760" with Adapter RAM of "20488 MB (2GB)".

Here is more info:

 

 

Idk if there any another thing I have to do...

Thanks ahead!!

In the Tech Specs for the Affinity applications on Windows, for Hardware GPU acceleration, there is the requirement of: Direct3D level 12.0-capable card: https://affinity.serif.com/en-gb/designer/full-feature-list/

Your Nvidia GeForce GTX 760 only supports (up-to) DirectX 11.2, as per the NVIDIA specs: https://www.nvidia.com/en-gb/geforce/graphics-cards/geforce-gtx-760/specifications/

Direct 3D 12 is not available to graphics cards that are compatible only up to DirectX 11.2.

I may be wrong but I don’t think you can use hardware GPU acceleration in the Affinity applications with that graphics card.

@GarryP

You are absolutly right. This card is not DX3D 12 compatible.
