NVIDIA DRIVER REQUIREMENTS

This version requires video driver 301.42 or higher.

It is also highly recommended that you have your Windows display adapter set to a non-Octane rendering graphics card (ie. your on-board graphics card, or a second graphics card).

DEMO INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

There is one installer for both 32 and 64 bit versions of ArchiCAD 16.

Once installed, run ArchiCAD and confirm the installation via Options->Add-On Manager, and check to ensure there are ticks beside "OctaneRender for ArchiCAD" and "OctaneRender Renderer". If there is a red "!" symbol, then the plugin did not load, and this is most likely because you do not have up to date Nvidia drivers loaded.
