Will graphics card enhance the performance of Labview VI?

[sharmaa]

Hi,

Will a graphics card enhance the performance of my Labview VI (i.e. make is faster) if my computer has graphics card? I am not manipulating any pictures or videos. The VI just takes data, does some control and then displays the data as simple xy graphs or waveform charts.

Thanks.

Not likely.  LabVIEW does not rely on fast video cards.  If you have one it will take advantage of it, though.  I suppose if you had a really slow video card (several years old) it might slow you down a little bit.  LabVIEW separates the video display process from the analysis process.  If the video update takes too long, it does less video updates to prevent video lockup.

 As bruce had explained there wont be any effect of graphics card . One thing i can think of is you using dome activex video source in lv. That might have some positive effects Though negligible...
