Hi Gijs,
I installed the driver after I installed the card—there has been one update since then—but since it caused some pretty serious errors in Rhino, I switched back to the version I had installed previously—the errors with the “bump” in the “Plastic” section, the “Metal/Roughness” slider in “Colors,” and the pixelated display of the materials were already present after the first installation
Best regards,
Rainer
but did you use the clean install option, that’s the question. If in doubt, clean install again
Hi Gijs,
I accidentally deleted the installation file for the driver I had installed—and I definitely won’t be installing the current version—because after that, it was almost impossible to work with Rhino.
Best regards,
Rainer
sure, your call. You could still download your current driver, I suppose.
Hi Gijs,
So—I’m currently downloading the Studio driver version I have on my computer from NVIDIA—then I’ll reinstall it—but I’m not really sure that will help.
Best regards,
Rainer
me neither, but I think it worth a shot, as it will rule out any doubt about older driver left overs
@psyflyer can you run _SystemInfo in Rhino and post back the results?
Also Run Options > View > OpenGL and attach a screenshot of that page
Also your thumbnails seem to render in low res, which could be
Hi Gijs,
First, I need to see if I can even work with Rhino again—and then I can give you the info—but the “Viewport Resolution Sharpness” slider isn’t all the way at the end (i.e., at its sharpest), and even when I turn it up, the display doesn’t change—and then I’ll connect my new Eizo monitor that just arrived.
Best regards,
Rainer
Hi Gijs,
So—I did another clean install, and now it seems to be working again—here’s the system info (which I’d already shown Kyle above) and the screenshot.
Best regards,
Rainer

still your thumbnails look very pixelated. With all sliders to the max, running TestClearRDKCaches should fix that. Make sure to restart rhino after that.
Hi Gijs,
I already did that yesterday—it doesn’t help at all.
Best regards,
Rainer
but earlier you said:
I’ve seen a similar case where putting the sliders all the way to the right didn’t fix that until after running that test command
Hi Gijs,
Sometimes I think—these computers are a nightmare. Yesterday I turned the slider all the way up and entered the command—after restarting, everything was just like before. Just now I set the slider to the maximum again, executed the command, restarted Rhino, and lo and behold—the pixelation is gone. Let’s see if it stays that way—but now I’m going to connect my new Eizo monitor. Thanks for your help.
Best regards,
Rainer
glad that sorted it!
Hope this also affects the rendering of textures…
Very nice rendition, especially the wire wheels! I happen to be building the real thing.

post pics!
Hi User 502,
Oh yeah—I’d love to see pictures of that project, too. The rims I put on there are 17-inch rims with low-profile tires—those cars often come with 14- or 15-inch rims, but I prefer it when you can see more rim and less tire.
