Here are 2 photos of the same gcode. Desktop is from my desktop computer, Laptop is from my laptop.
Would you say my desktop needs a better video card or is something else wrong.
Sometimes the desktop will get it right but most of the time it wont.
My desktop card is a Radeon X1300 W/ 512 MB.

Im thinking I need a new computer & card.

Thanks for the help

I'm having the same problem. Tried your suggestion with no results. I had gcode that cut great & the next time I opened it Mach3 would not cut arcs, all I got were large circles. I Mach3 unstable? Seems like if it cut it properly one time it should cut it again. Any other suggestions??   I use BobCad/Cam

Thanks
