Locate the browser you use for Onshape.Navigate to 3D Settings > Manage 3D Settings and then the Program Settings tab.To make the NVIDIA graphics card the default GPU for Onshape, or rather, the browser you want to use for Onshape: If Optimus technology is present, make the NVIDIA graphics card the default card for Onshape (for the browser you use with Onshape), through the NVIDIA control panel.If Optimus technology is present, it will be listed somewhere in the right column. Select System Information and then Components. To ensure that Optimus technology, if present, does not interfere with the best performance of the graphics card when working with Onshape:ĭetermine whether or not your computer uses Optimus technology: Onshape performs best when Optimus technology is not involved in the management of graphics cards.Make sure the graphics card you use is not on the WebGL blacklist, as some video graphics cards do not support WebGL.

To get the most out of your graphics cards: If you do not have NVIDIA or NVIDIA with Optimus technology, you may skip this section.

If you see the message shown below, take steps to either install a dedicated graphics card, or take steps to resolve an unrecognized graphics card, explained below. Without a dedicated graphics card, the rendering task is performed by the CPU and yields significantly lower numbers. More GPU RAM will enable more and larger datasets to be opened concurrently in Onshape. To improve your TPS, you don't need an expensive graphics card, a low-end gamer card that supports WebGL will work, and generally improve performance significantly. While it is hard to give numbers for recommended TPS, it is easy to say that for larger assemblies, the Onshape experience is better with a discrete (dedicated) graphics card. The more TPS your computer can render, the faster a model will be rendered to the screen on open and the more smoothly it will rotate. This is expressed as triangles per second (TPS) and represents most of the work being done by your computer.

The system check (explained above) also provides insight into the rendering performance of your computer as currently configured. More information for all of these browser settings is available at.

Legacy operating systems, such as Windows XP, can lack modern driver and browser support, and hence may not run Onshape, even with these work-arounds. A list is available at and steps are listed below to override the blacklist in Chrome and Firefox. Some graphics cards are blacklisted because of poor WebGL support.
