NVIDIA popup message upon Carrara new scene start

in Carrara Discussion

Greetings.  I recently replaced my computer.  Windows 11.  New computer has an NVIDIA graphics card.  New installation of Carrara. When I start up Carrara I get a pop up window briefly in the upper right of the Assemble room notifying me that NVIDIA overlay is available.

Has anyone seen this before?  What is it?  Do I want that to 'overlay' while I am running Carrara?

Perhaps unrelated, but I have noticed that Carrara now freezes if I do a spot render in the Assemble room.  Everything else seems OK.

    Good news you are up and running! For the spot render have you tried , in preferences under open gl there is an option to untick 'display lists' - wonder if that would help?" Probably not but worth ago. Haven't seen the overlay thing sorry. 

    Edit 

     

    Quick google says its a feature for games, giving you an overlay that provides stats eg frame rate ? Sounds harmless.

    I don't do gaming so I don't install the NVIDIA gaming driver set I only get the other option which I can't remember what it's called. frown

    when it works, its handy for tutorials, I find it hit and miss and resort to Win+G instead to capture stuff

    Thanks for the tip about OpenGL.  Unticking the box seems to have done the trick.  I have only tested it on simple scenes, but so far so good.  yes
