Larger display should use a graphics card with at least 1GB of VRAM, with 2GB or more recommended. Medium sized displays with a native resolution of 1920x1080 or less should be driven by a graphics card with at least 512MB of VRAM.
The amount of Video RAM required to drive Vectorworks adequately depends largely on the size of the display being used and the complexity of the Vectorworks document.
MAC COMPATIBLE GRAPHICS CARDS 2015 DRIVERS
Note: On a Mac, you cannot update video drivers directly as hardware drivers are integrated with operating system updates. If the video card you are using fits the recommendations listed in this document but Vectorworks seems slow and sluggish, updating your video cards drivers may correct the issue. The majority of display problems reported to our Technical Support department have been traced to older video drivers. On Windows, we recommend acquiring the latest drivers directly from the manufacturer's website (listed below are links to common manufactures). We strongly recommend that all users check that their video drivers are current. Using cards from different manufacturers will likely lead to OS and display instabilities. When using multiple graphics cards it is strongly recommended that the same manufacturer, model, and generation be used for all cards. In summary: The more powerful your graphics card is, the better your Vectorworks experience will be. Starting with Vectorworks 2014 graphic cards should support at a minimum OpenGL version 2.1 cards not meeting this recommendation will have limited functionality and poor performance when rendering in OpenGL mode. These new features have the potential to provide a very fast and fluid experience if used on capable hardware, or a noticeably slower experience if used on older or incompatible hardware. The performance and quality of the graphics provided by the new Vectorworks Graphics Module depend directly on the speed, memory, and supported extensions of the graphics card. Vectorworks 2015 added improvements which placed higher demands on graphic hardware.
