Hi,
I’m running 3, 4k screens on the following hardware/software:
- AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 12-Core
- NVS 510 video card
- Arch Linux
- KiCad 6.0
I have schematic and PCB editors set for “Accelerated graphics”.
Everything works pretty well, except the 3d PCB viewer – it is painfully slow.
An associate who is using integrated Intel graphics on Arch Linux says 3d viewer performs good for him.
Would something like a Nividia GTX 1660 make a big difference in the 3d performance?
Below are the results of gmark2:
