Supported Video Cards, SW2008 and XPpro64

[rjason71]

I noticed there are no certified cards on the SW website. We are currently looking into a 64 bit xp pro workstation with a Quadro FX4500 card. Will this card work?

I don't know where your looking, but they list them there fine for me -

You have to select your XP os.

If I select:
Certified
all vendors
2008
WinXP x64
and click - show passing

I get no results.

I get the same result as rjason71.

If I select;
Certified
All Vendors
All Operating Systems
Show Passing

I get lots of results, but none for XPx64.

Pick a specific card mfg... then it will list cards for the mfg.

That still does not work for me.

nVidia (or HP or 3Dlabs or Dell or ATI)
2008
XP x64
Show Passing

All yield the same thing ... nothing!

The info should be pulled from the same database. The Vendor, SW version and OS fields are just selection filters.

Can you post an image of what you are seeing, Scott?

I picked Nvidia, Win XP64-bit and selected the SW07

I got numerous hits

Quadro FX 3400/1400
WinXP x64 6.14.10.9136
WinXP x64 6.14.10.9136
WinXP x64 6.14.10.8167
WinXP x64 6.14.10.8167

That was just one of many others I selected

SW08 is not released yet so you won't get any hits.

Sometimes it takes a few weeks to months to get a list of VC drivers for a new version of SW.

P.S. I missed SW08 in the subject... need to go to bed earlier!!

Scott ... take a look at the title of this thread.

SW had a list of approved cards and drivers in the SW08 Beta forum. It is no longer there. That info could/should be made available in the main Video Card Testing link. Is it available in an EV list somewhere?

 

[rjason71]

The reason I ask is we have a workstation that is 64 bit capable but is running XP32. We want to convert it to XP64 and with SW2008 coming out soon, I wanted to make sure the video card would work.

We have a workstation running WinXP x64 and SolidWorks 2007 x64 with that card. Seems to run fine, at least I haven't heard any complaints from that user.

Don't know about 2008 but I'm sure it will work fine as that's a fairly new card.
