So, our office ugraded our monitors to 4K. (42" TVs, it's awesome.)

 

I've noticed that revit totally chokes in imported jpeg underlays. The images tear, the window can take a minute to regenerate after zooming or panning, and oftentimes the image underneath is fuzzy or glitchy when finished.

 

Has anyone else experienced this problem? I'm running a nice enough computer, with 280X graphics, SSD, 24 gigs of ram, etc.  Drivers are reasonably up to date.  The JPEG image size does not seem to matter. a 50KB grayscale JPEG will have the same issues, seeming to cripple revit any time I scale up an image to a size larger than, say, 1/2 my screen. (2000x2000px)

 

Can anyone confirm this is a deficiency with revit?

Underlays. Tracing hand-drawn plans or sitework.

Some options to try. 1) reduce the resolution of the scans in Photoshop before importing them. 2) turn off hardware acceleration in Revit 3) try changing display settings in revit 4) try a different image format such as Bmp, tiff or png. See how u go with those

I suspect your video card is the problem.   Gaming cards are good for games and some work well with Revit.  But Revit does not need or use all of the functions of a high end gaming card.  I have a low cost NVIDIA GeForce GTS 450 and it doesn't seem to have the problems you describe.

This issue appears to be fixed as of today's driver updates from AMD. 

 

Got too excited. Still a problem.
