Display |
High-resolution monitor (1280 x 1024 or better) with 16-bit colors or more An OpenGL compliant graphics card with stable ICD driver support is recommended. We recommend that you always use the latest version of the driver for your graphics card. An NVIDIA graphics card is required for GPUTrace. For more details, contact us at lucidshape_support@synopsys.com. |

To have a high frame rate during simulations, we recommend a computer with a multicore CPU, 1.6 GB free disk space, at least 2 GB RAM, and a graphics card that meets the latest standards. For more detailed recommendations, contact us at lucidshape_support@synopsys.com.
When using LucidDrive, you can increase the graphics performance of your computer if you double the graphics cards, which means that you are using the SLI technology by NVIDIA. There are chipsets that allow more than two cards in a computer. For more detailed recommendations, contact us at lucidshape_support@synopsys.com.
For the GPUTrace feature, an NVIDIA graphic card is required (GeForce is recommended) with the latest available graphics card driver.
You can estimate the performance by comparing the bandwidth and the number of CUDA cores available on the card.
