Yes it will if it is Mastercam X , There are some issue with V9 but there is ways to get around it.

We need to know what version you are trying to run?

i seem to be having a similar problem with version 9,just wondering what are the ways to get around the video card problem. thanks

Try moving the acceleration down 1 notch at a time. This may improve things a bit but the real answer is to get a "Quadro FX" series video card.

It would be nice to know what version he's talking about. Too much trouble to give us the info that would actually solve the problem.

What is you Mcam Version?

P.S. who cares about minimums, all that matter is if yours will work. I'm sure you dont want to downgrade to the minimum.

Most likely if your running V9, get the latest driver first. Then reduce your Windows Graphics acceleration.
Right click on the desktop - Propertied - Settings - Advanced - Troubleshoot - Slide the slider down a notch.

I had a problem with my colors not showing correctly. (V9) I changed setting and it is better but I don't know if it is still correct? Is this my video card? What is the correct computer setting/configuration? Do I just need to play with it until the edges aren't ragged etc.? Is there a list of settings or does it depend on your computer and monitor?
