Hi Community,

I have another PC that might give better results, I found the license transfer procedure and will do that first, however, on that PC I have 2 graphic cards, can I use both?

Hi Howard,

Thank you for your question. C3D is able to use 1 graphic card during processing, since we are a GPU based software, I would recommend using the most robust card during your processing, to select it feel free to follow the guide below.

If you are using an NVIDIA graphics card, you need to make sure Correlator3D will run on the correct one by following these steps:

1) Right click on desktop and select "NVidia Control Panel"

2) Click on the "Manage 3D settings" tab from the left menu

3) Select the "Program Settings" tab

4) Click Add, then browse to C3DGui.exe located in the Correlator3D installation folder (e.g. "C:\Program Files\SimActive\Correlator3D")

5) Set the preferred graphics processor to "High-performance NVIDIA processor".



If you are using an AMD graphics card, you can follow these steps:

1) Right-click the Desktop and select AMD Radeon Settings from the menu.

2) Select Preferences.

3) Select Radeon Additional Settings.

4) Navigate to Power > Switchable Graphics Application Settings and the click Add Application.

5) Select Correlator3D (C3DGui.exe) and click Open.

6) Under Graphic Settings choose High Performance and click apply.

Thanks again, David. I have selected our most robust card which is a NVIDIA GeForce RTX2060 and it worked very well, amazing timings.
