RE: Orcad Capture - Slow Graphics response on windows 10

Just a follow up on this issue with capture. I have isolated the problem to be related to Windows 10 release V1709 Build 16299.125 (Believe it is called fall creators edition) Running capture V17.2 with update 031 on windows 10 V1703 Build 15063.786 seems to work OK. Upgrading to the current version of windows 10 (MS Forced release) causes a big hit to capture on my system. I believe the issue relates to my Radeon video drivers even though the driver is valid on win 10. "Something changed with V1709 on win 10" On this newer release of win 10 the GUI in capture is very slow. When you move tool bars around inside capture you get rectangle ghosts on the screen, You can basically fill the screen completely with little rectangles :) , when you let the mouse button go the display refreshes and looks ok. The physical canvas where symbols are placed does not look to have this issue. Issue is only with the actual IDE in capture. Over on the Orcad/Allegro PCB editor things look great even on the current ver of win 10. The open GL display is seriously fast, it is very impressive and a pleasure to use. Would be really nice if capture was OpenGL enabled too. To run capture effectively on win 10 I may just go ahead and update my graphics card. Does anyone have a recommendation for use on win 10 that you found to work well ? I was looking at the AMD FirePro workstation cards. I am a bit on the fence with updating the video card as everything other than capture performs very well in the 2d rendering space. Older schematic capture programs also work fine, Fast just like orcad pcb editor. Thanks Paul
