| Common Problems | |||||
| =============== | |||||
| Unsupported Graphics Driver Error | |||||
| --------------------------------- | |||||
| This means your graphics card and driver do not have the minimum required OpenGL 3.3 version needed by Blender. | |||||
| Installing the latest driver can help upgrade the OpenGL version, | |||||
| though some graphics cards are simply too old to run the latest Blender. | |||||
| Using Blender 2.79 or earlier is the only option then. | |||||
| Crash on Startup | |||||
| ---------------- | |||||
| Try running Blender from the :doc:`command line </advanced/command_line/index>`, | |||||
| to see if any helpful error messages are printed. | |||||
| On Windows, graphics drivers can sometimes get corrupted. | |||||
| In this case it can help to uninstall all graphics drivers (there may be multiple from Intel, AMD and NVIDIA) and | |||||
| perform a clean installation with drivers from the manufacturer's website. | |||||
| Poor Performance | |||||
| ---------------- | |||||
| - Update your graphics drivers (see above). | |||||
| - On laptops, make sure you are using a dedicated GPU (see above). | |||||
| - Try lowering quality settings in :menuselection:`Preferences --> System --> Memory & Limits`. | |||||
| - Try undoing settings in your graphics drivers, if you made any changes there. | |||||
| Render Errors | |||||
| ------------- | |||||
| See :doc:`Eevee </render/eevee/limitations>` and | |||||
| :doc:`Cycles </render/cycles/gpu_rendering>` documentation respectively. | |||||
| Wrong Selection in 3D Viewport | |||||
| ------------------------------ | |||||
| See :ref:`Invalid Selection, Disable Anti-Aliasing <troubleshooting-3dview-invalid-selection>`. | |||||
| Information | |||||
| =========== | |||||
| To find out which graphics card and driver Blender is using, | |||||
| use :menuselection:`Help --> Save System Info` inside Blender. | |||||
| The OpenGL section will have information about your graphics card, vendor and driver version. | |||||
