No OpenGL on Windows 11 / GPU-Choice ?

Hi there,

I would like to buy QCAD but I have some performance issues with the Soft.
I have 2 GPUs in my Laptop, one Intel Iris Xe Graphics and one NVIDIA RTX A500.
It appears that QCAD runs only on the Intel Iris GPU, which causes enormous lag wenn I zoom into Architects-Floorplans.

In the System-View of QCAD is there no indication of OpenGL, as seen in the attached file.
Is there a way to let run the soft on the NVIDIA-chip ? I found no clue in your documentation.

My Windows-Energysetting is set on Performance, not low consumption.
I also set up the OpenGL config in the NVIDIA-Systemsettings for QCAD (attached file).

System Windows 11 pro
QCAD Professional Trial version: 3.32.3.0

I hope you have a way.
Greetings, Fab


QCAD does not use the GPU directly, as we want to support many different platforms and each one has its own system for accessing the GPU (OpenGL, Direct X, Metal, Vulkan). QCAD also runs on servers without any GPU at all.
If you experience lagging, your drawings are likely simply too complex for QCAD to handle.

Thx for your reply :slight_smile:
