Current Driver Requirement?

Reposted from New Preview Version (that thread is a little crowded… good sign for Enscape :slight_smile:


With the latest preview 2.4.2.3147… I keep getting the message. “Your Graphics Card is Outdated”

I am currently using 398.36.

The error message sends me to enscape’s requirements page that cites 390.77 as a requirement.

What is the current driver requirement?

Thanks!

When I switched to the PREVIEW (as you did)… I got the OUTDATED DRIVER message also.

I updated the driver, but it KILLED the rest of my system.. SLOOOOWWWWW…

I dumped the preview and rolled back the driver…

Hey @renderwiz and @DGD-Duane , my apologies for the delayed response. Are you two still experiencing these problems even when using our latest release? Kindly let me know if so.

Also, @renderwiz , you should be able to make use of the latest drivers accordingly - let me know if the message still appears even after updating to our latest version.

I see you have updated the website to say that the Minimum Driver Requirements are:

The latest available drivers

Is that correct?

I have never used a software that required me to install a new driver every time one comes out.

It looks like gtx drivers are released 1 to 2 times a month.

Do I really need to install a new one every time one is released?

Thanks!

@renderwiz , Enscape should generally work without any problems when you’re using at least our Recommended Graphics card drivers, it’s just that we recommend to have the latest installed, but it’s not a must. :slight_smile: We’ll adjust the page to make that more clear, thanks!

Yes.. .I am now just ignoring the WARNING and things are working just fine.

@Demian_Gutberlet

Thanks for the clarification. Very glad to hear you are not Requiring the latest drivers.

Fyi, I was viewing the page…

https://enscape3d.com/knowledgebase/system-requirements

Under Minimum Requirements…and stopped reading after "The latest available drivers…"

…did not notice the “…or our recommended drivers”
