That said, even the HD4600 should be able to move simple parts around the screen without much trouble. The onboard graphics (I think HD4600 from your CPU) will perform quite poorly, but will work nonetheless. That way it never has much load and is always responsive. At work I have a dedicated fileserver alongside our main server that hosts our working data. Are you saving your working files on a network drive? If so, you need at least a gigabit ethernet connection with no bottlenecks right through to the fileserver, and you should make sure the fileserver itself isn't overloaded, and is not some ancient thing with very slow drives. If your network is poorly implemented that can certainly have a performance impact. If you're the only one using the software it's unnecessary and can all be installed locally on your workstation. on a network drive so that all users are working with the same data. There's not one person in this company that has any experience in what I do and as far as most of them believe I'm "only a machinist" that has been wasting my life away for the past 40 years so what could I possibly know.Ī common Solidworks install will place some things - the Toolbox, templates etc. There's been talk of an addition of something far above the 3-Axis Prototraks I been running so I want to be as ready as I can. There have been many jobs farmed out to real CNC shops that will be coming home which I will be required to produce with what little I have so far. This shop has always been a one man operation and my predecessors have been dinosaurs of the manual species. I'm not sure exactly the end requirements of the system as the work ahead is unknown to me at this point. The graphics I'm using so far is on board the Gigabyte Z97X-UD5H but last night I installed a Quadro K2000 which I most likely will return for the K4200. That brings me to this point of deciding what is important. I don't have such problems with the software on my laptop (ASUS G73SW) I use at home but I want to move the apps to a desktop.

The problems I think are caused by poor graphics is the delay in simple things like rotating, spinning and panning. I'm not always sure if the time is eaten up by loading or rendering. It's hard to tell if it takes forever for files to load. For some reason many of the folders are on a network drive but those aren't related to the G-card I'm using. I think they are caused mostly by the way things were set up at install. The problems I'm having with the system I use at work are many.
