How to improve Display Performance on MS V8i under Windows 10 with NVIDIA Quadro Video Card?

USB-C charging can provide only up to around 100W of power while power adapter for Laptop is somewhere around 180W.

MSI GS75 with RTX 2060  for example in Contextcapture gets benchmark score only 22 when on USB-C charging and around 160 score when using real power adapter. 5x times difference. Try without dock.

There is stupid implementation of USB-C charging even if battery is full it doesn't allow to run it on battery power for demanding tasks so performance is limited.

Hi,

thanks for the details.

As I mentioned early, me and my co-workers have this issue since the last update on Windows 10

I read you original question and (maybe because I am not native speaker, so "lost in translation") that from the last Windows Update, the graphic card control was changed to Windows, not that the problem with MicroStation begun.

I retrieve this for GLSTATS so far:

It's not complete!

When you open 3D DGN, more information should be displayed in the statics. Most of them are system information, but a few of them can be valuable to know.

Also maybe is interesting to consider as well the following:

In general, laptop can never be as good as workstation, because both processor and graphics card are limited (unless "workstation laptop" machine is used). When talking about MicroStation performance, form "normal notebooks" the best would be some gaming, preferably in combination AMD processor (because current models are substantially better than anything from Intel) and AMD graphics card (because providing better DirectX performance, which is what MicroStation uses).

however I'm using regular USB 3.0 cable and the connector on the mobile is USB-C, how this should be impacted to the video card?

As Oto wrote, charging using USB-C is limited to 100W currently (future standard will change it), whereas real consumption can be higher. To compare standard charger and UBS-C makes sense, on the other hand you wrote it was fine in the pat.

Thanks for the details!

I do not see anything obviously wrong, and even when I compared it with mine notebook, equipped with GeForce GTX1050, the numbers look similar.

Some differences exist:

• Your driver is slightly newer
• From the screen capture it seems you HW/SW configuration does not allow to use Hardware accelerated GPU scheduling.

But they are not reason for wrong display (even when sometimes specific Nvidia drivers causes problems in MicroStation in the past).

I noticed that your driver version is a bit older than 471.41.  Did you get a chance to update your driver from https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/177764/en-us and try your workflow?
