Slow (tectonic) performance with new Nvidia 1050 Ti

So, things were getting a little slow with my old Quadro 4000 so I popped $160 for a new 1050 Ti.  Of course,with a new card, I upgraded the driver to the latest one.  Now the system streams HD video without a hitch, plays video games at high frame rates, and web paged just pop onto the screen.

However, Onshape is almost frozen.  The following result is the same with Chrome, Opera and FireFox - what gives?

    Hi @bill_daniels. Those performance numbers from the check page are terrible. What distro and kernel version are you using?

    Can you hit some other WebGL tests on the net? I'm suspecting that performance will be bad as well. Are you using the native NVIDIA drivers or the ones with your distro? I think your comment above says that you are using the native drivers.

    I would look at this article, specifically the mention of the proprietary drivers PPA: https://delightlylinux.wordpress.com/2017/06/17/the-gtx-1050-sc-and-linux-what-can-you-expect/ 

    See if those drivers help. You should be getting more than 100 million triangles/sec in the test above.

    I think I fixed it.  I removed then re-installed the Nvidia drivers.  Apparently there was a corrupted driver set on some PPA which was quickly fixed.  Now my system performs like this:

    That's more like it! Glad you were able to work it out.

    How does Onshape perform with the new card now?
