Creo Simulation Live is too slow with RTX 3060

[JJ_10148322]

Hi, I have a PC with GeForce RTX3060 and I use Creo 4.0.

I borrowed a 30-day trial license of Simulation Live, but it is too slow on my computer

If I clik the simulation tab, it takes about 10mins to turn on and the simulation process also takes about 10mins.

Both of them should be done within a minute.

I asked the sales person about it but he just keeps saying "Simulation Live is not compatible with your graphic card".

I looked up the requirements of Simulation Live and found that it only supports up to Pascal architecture(GeForce GTX),but RTX is Ampere architecture.

I wonder if anyone has the same issue but has solved the problem.

Hi,

download Creo Hardware Checker from https://www.ptc.com/en/creo-hardware-check page and use it to test your graphic card.

Thank you, this Hardware Checker says Simulation Live supports my GPU.

Hi,

maybe you can install newer version of graphic card driver and test whether this action will resolve the problem.
