Image Preview - Hardware Acceleration. Any connection...?

Windows 10 x64
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070: Driver Version 23.21.13.9077

I applied to be a beta tester a while ago and after an email about the latest release arrived today, I finally got round to installing C1 11

I noticed in General Preferences that "Hardware Acceleration Doesn't Work" (HA) was showing.

There was the usual lag/shimmer when rendering slider adjustments that I had been experiencing in C1 10, in addition to the poor quality of the preview image.

I deleted files from the folder C:/Program Data/PhaseOne/CaptureOne/ImageCore and rebooted C1. No joy, still no HA and still the usual editing lags and display issues.

I then looked in this list from the C1 site https://www.phaseone.com/en/Search/Arti ... cleid=1720 and noticed that my card isn't listed. However, the list is a bit dated.

So, I ran Driver Talent (great little app) and it recommended an update for my Nvidia card. It installed the driver listed above.

After installation, I ran CC Cleaner to clean the registry. I then cleaned the above ImageCore folder again.

Only then did I reboot C1 11.

I immediately browsed to Preferences and I saw that C1 was enabling HA. I had never seen this before. It took about two minutes to complete.

When it was done, it said, "Capture One is using hardware acceleration."

So, I opened a file.

1. It is tack sharp. I have never seen the image preview so good. It looks like a TIFF open in Photoshop.
2. The effect on the image of any changes (moving sliders or whatever) is very smooth.

C1 has never felt so good. Happy days! 😄 😎

Ps. I closed C1 11 and opened C1 10. HA working there too.
