Graphics Information
For 3D-hardware acceleration, an OpenGL graphics card must be used that has been tested in a PTC-certified configuration. To ensure the compatibility of a graphics driver with Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 4.0, a PTC-certified hardware configuration is recommended.
Dual Monitor Support
Limited dual
monitor support is provided in Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 4.0 on the Windows
platform. PTC has successfully performed limited
testing of some graphics card models from 3DLabs, ATI and NVIDIA that support dual monitor capabilities. If
your graphics card is certified for Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 4.0 and provides dual
monitor support**, PTC expects that it will run in this
mode without issue. PTC will provide limited support to
resolve issues arising when running in dual monitor mode, however, the entire
solution will not be submitted for formal certification as a complete
configuration.
Note: in the event that dual monitor mode fails, we advise use of Span mode as
a workaround.
**Please consult with AMD, NVIDIA, or the hardware platform
partner to confirm the availability of this functionality with a given graphics
card that has been certified with Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 4.0.
Certified and Supported Graphics Cards
PTC
provides Customer Support for all certified and/or supported graphics
cards. Certified cards will be added to this table as our platform partners complete certifications in preparation for production shipment of Wildfire 4.0.
Please note that the table below represents graphics cards that are part of a fully-certified or supported
configuration (e.g., machine, model, operating
system, graphics card and driver). PTC does not certify or support graphic cards independently from the configurations in which they are
certified or supported. Please consult the linked partner pages for specific
configurations.

Plotters and Printers |

|
EmulationVarious manufacturers
produce printers and plotters that may be compatible with or emulate a device that is supported by PTC. Please be aware that such devices are
not tested by PTC and therefore, may not produce correct plotted
output. If you are using a device which emulates a printer or plotter listed in the tables below, PTC
Technical Support will attempt to provide support by using a similar
certified device. Any support pertaining
to compatibility with a supported plotter or the correctness of an emulation
can only be made by the manufacturers of the device in question, and not by PTC.
