#SOLVED: Graphics dependencies of OrcaSlicer

Hello, I know this is OrcaSlicer Discord, but I am having issues with the ElegooSlicer which if a fork of Orca and no one helped me with my issue on their Discord.
I am interfacing issues with the slicer 3D view freezing and lagging out when I add multiple objects (by drag and dropping, cloning or splitting step to parts). I am assuming that is has to do something with my f*cked up installation of Window on my laptop since on my work laptop it works just fine.
So what my question is: what are the graphics drivers the slicer uses, so I can try manually updating them, since now I do not have time to reinstall the whole Windows.
I am currently on Windows 11 pro 25H2 and it is up to date.

PS: I would really prefer to use the OrcaSlicer but unfortunatelly as far as I know, wirelessly interfacing with my new Elegoo CC2 is currently not possible

What gpu do you have?

And what about people with only integrated GPU?

They will work to a point but without a decent amount of vram they will have problems. Specially when adding multiple models like you said. There are other factors too like normal ram, cpu speed, the condition of your OS etc. Like if there was lots of applications already using resources when you dont have much to start with.
If your version of the mx250 is the 2gb version, that would be a good place to start.

Try updating the nvidia drivers 1st before doing anything else

#

I've seen lots of people not even have them installed and running off the cpu graphics

Thanks, but I've already tried updating the drivers and it didnt helped out. I have no issues running Fusion or any other slicer (till now I've been using Prusaslicer or Bambulab)

You are always going to have trouble doing 3d work on a computer that can't run a modern game, and that GPU card definitely can't do that at any decent quality unfortunately.

Ok, I'll try at the afternoon today.
And a quick offtopic question: what would be your choice for a laptop for this kind of work? I want to use only something buissness grade or higher (like the Dell latitude or HP probook at least). Also it must be 14 inch

I wouldn't buy a laptop for this kind of work. The screens to small the gpus overheat it has to be speed throttled to keep cool. You can't upgrade them. You can't repair them

#

I have a desktop I built myself for my work as a game developer.

Probably overpower 🙂

79503d cpu
Rtx4090
64gb ram

That was 4k to buy the parts.

But I needed this to be able to bake the lighting in huge 3d scenes.

You really want minimum GPU rtx 3060 which I think is 8gb vram you can probably get a laptop with that gpu or the equivalent 4/5x series card. You want at least 16gb of normal ram and a fairly solid cpu. Most laptops with those specs will have the right cpu.

Yes that would be nice, but for me probably unneccesary and to expensive. Since I am mainly electronics developer and I do not need that much power and I do need the portability of a laptop. Actually since I bought this laptop, I've never had issues with 3D modeling performance. I am no making any complex models

You are in the edge of 3d performance even if you have not had problems before. I have been building computers for 30 years so take it or leave it🙂

Thx. Tomorrow I'll probably get my hands on the same laptop, only with slower CPU and WIN10. I will try it installing it there so I can tell if it is a hardware or software issue

Yeah, I'm not saying your laptop cant run smooth with this its just its on the edge of 3d performance needed so It doesn't have an overheads for situations like this. To get it running smooth you while probably need to highly optimise your OS and a good start is a clean nividia driver install not a normal install.

#

Download the Driver: Visit the official NVIDIA driver download page and select your specific GPU and operating system.

Run as Administrator: Right-click the downloaded .exe file and select Run as administrator.

Choose Custom Installation: When the installer window appears, select NVIDIA Graphics Driver (with or without GeForce Experience/NVIDIA App), click Agree and Continue, then select Custom (Advanced) and click Next.

Enable Clean Install: Check the box labeled Perform a clean installation at the bottom of the component list and click Next.

Complete & Restart: Follow the remaining prompts and restart your PC once finished to ensure the new drivers are fully applied.

#

Also make sure you disable any other graphic drivers as you may have 2 and applications sometimes defaults to the wrong one.

Hey, thank you for your help, I my dad had figured it out. It turned out that the problem was actually the integrated GPU in my (and his) CPU. So by forcing it to run on the MX250, it works fine
