Supported Graphics Cards

The qualified graphics cards on this page have been tested on a variety of hardware platforms in combination with the graphics subsystems listed above.� These cards should perform well with FreeForm and ClayTools�software.� Different combinations of computer, graphics card, driver, and OS can behave differently from system to system.�� To avoid any potential hardware/software related conflicts,�SensAble recommendeds that the systems be run on one of our qualified configurations.�� See FreeForm System Requirements�and ClayTools System Requirements�for qualified configurations.

Important Notes

Latest SensAble Modeling System-Compatible Graphics Cards:
FreeForm v10 and�ClayTools v2 systems require OpenGL 2.1 support. The table below lists graphics cards and drivers we have tested for use with the FreeForm and ClayTools modeling systems.

If you encounter an OpenGL 2.1 error message, please see your graphics card manufacturers options for upgrading your driver.
If you encounter other issues that you think may be related to your graphics card, contact support@sensable.com. �

SensAble is in the process of qualifying newer cards and drivers, including Vista dirvers. As soon as more information is available this table will be updated. If you have questions, email support@sensable.com.��

�Important Notes:�

While SensAble makes every attempt to be as thorough as possible, hardware manufacturers change their products frequently and may be shipping newer products or have discontinued active support for others.

The graphics drivers specified in these tables are the drivers that were used for the qualification process. While it may be possible to use the SensAble modeling systems successfully on earlier or later drivers, SensAble Technologies, Inc. cannot guarantee their performance.

Some SensAble users have had success running system configurations that deviate from the above. In such cases, these configurations are not officially supported by SensAble Technologies, Inc.
