Good day folks,

As the title says, my GTX 690 recently died and all I'm left with is this integrated graphics from my i5 2500k, Intel HD 3000, apart from not being able to use Viewport 2.0 due to the lack of a dedicated graphics card, I am also unable to use OpenSubdiv Catmull-Clark in Maya 2015 and up.

I've always preferred using the Default Viewport in 2014 and as it was renamed in 2015 the Legacy Default Viewport as my default viewport for modeling, but whenever I go above 65k-85k polys, things start to slow down to a point where I can barely move the viewport camera and my work stalls.

I havent yet finished my portfolio and the thing is.. I can't stop working right now, I need to finish it and since I dont have the financial resources available at the moment for a decent GPU I need to live with this peasant HD 3000.

My question is, is there something I can do to improve the performance of the default viewport in 2014 or 2015 ?


Thank you
