Need to prove my boss wrong

Hello, I’m working on rhino and everything is slow, orbiting, switching between views, opening a file. I am convinced it is beacuse of the pc I’m using. Please can someone help and confirm if I am right from looking at the system info:

the system info does not tell what type of files/geometry you need to work with.

Ok, is there any indication in there as to why rhino is being slow? Im starting projects from scratch with barely any geometry or textures yet it is still unbearably slow

I would update your video card driver first.

Thank you, this would be the graphics card correct? Do you mean update it or replace with a new one? Thanks for the reply.

update that driver. Best is to perform a clean install.
