Hello
I'm working under solidworks 2016 with an I5 config + 8GB of ram + gamer video card hacked with Realhack.
It works very well as long as I don't make complicated renderings.
as soon as I start a render my processor goes up to 100% ... and it's a long time...
what should be done on an I7?
Changing my video for a pro card?
I would like to be sure before inverting that it will change my life!
Thanks in advance
Francis.
Hello:
You should find what you are looking for here:

As powerful as a gaming video card is, it can be quickly limited to turn solidworks. The opposite is also true. A story of map architecture it seems to me.
You sometimes have better performance on solidworks with a "small" pro card than with a "big" gaming card.
no matter how all the rendering is long no matter the proc and the CG
SolidWorks is not a render log
to make good renderings take a special log made for that
To already work well with solidworks you need a proc that runs mini at 3.4 GHz
Preferably a xeon with ECC RAM
+ you have a recent SW + you need ram
I have 12 gigabytes for 2012
for SW 2016 16 giga of RAM mini according to colleagues ;-)
1 SSD for exploit and log

And don't hesitate to run parallel renders to use several CPU cores
Hello
The best is a pro license because you can share the receipts with the other PCs in the office.
For example, I have 17 SW at my disposal so for the redus it's much faster.
may the force be with you.
See this tutorial to serve as a slave PC that doesn't need to have solidworks

:-) Excellent! Thanks for the info!
Hello
I haven't looked at the lins of @gt22 yet but it's indeed the privilege of the slave PC and yes the slave PCs don't need to have SW.
May the force be with you
Thank you for your answers,
so I'm currently being loaned an FX1800 Quadro NVIDIA:
always the same problem of processor running at 100% when I render with Photoview.
and the card that runs at 2%!???
I don't understand what the point of a pro card is if SolidWorks doesn't use its resources?
I had much better results with the gamer card...
Isn't it possible to make the GPU work as a priority rather than the CPU?

how fast is your proc
and your ram is saturated
look at Paul Loury's communication threads
http://www.forum-cao-3d.fr/solidworks-tutoriels/textures-avec-des-zones-transparentes-t7237-15.html
It's true that it's Photoworks and not Photoview but there is a lot of advice on modeling and rendering virtual courses
he made some tutorials
and I myself have learned a lot thanks to

hello, for rendering you need a maximum of core to the processor
Unlike SW, PhotoView uses the available cores=> for my case i7 8 core 3.4
Graphics card: I went through several quadro models (for the use of solidworks) but after several config tests I noted:
Quadro 600 small parts no big assembly made mediocre and long
Quadro 2000 substantial assembly very good rendering but still long (even if we divide by 2 the time of the 600)
I was loaned Quadro 4000/5000 => card made for the rendering for sure!! I didn't see any difference for the use of sw but photoview almost goes to instant. ditto if you use a graphic suite such as illustrator, Photoshop etc
On the other hand for the price it pulls the hair out of the sensitive area
The FX 1800 for my part is at the top for .... 2D because at not even 1GB of dedicated memory it stings
For the GT22 hardware characteristics with gospel word =SW2016 SSD+16GB+3.4 processor it's comfortable. BUT don't forget to increase the virtual memory to 32GB mini max 64 which will allow the pc to better exchange with all the elements
Thanks to this manipulation I was able to run with an HP xw6200 dual xenon 3.2, 4GB of ram+ssd and 64 of virtual as with my i7 3.4 16 GB (of course don't dream there are other things that are not solved thanks to this especially in complex assemblies)
+1 @ Gerald
CQFD
@+ ;-)
Does solidworks run well on your i5?
because if it runs without lag stay with your normal config?
for your rendering goes via modo 601
which is a real rendering log

impossible to have the same result with SW renderings
@+ ;-)
i5 versus i7 what difference for solidworks=> very little because SW is until 2016 single core
So an i5 versus an i7 for solidworks remains similar in use
Where the i7 gets the best is as soon as you use graphics software and also in the case that interests us photoview
If pmi.pmi has an i5 without hypertreading and little cache you should not expect prowess with a rendering software.
Hello
What do you use for your Photoview 360 or Visualize renderings?*
I strongly recommend Visualize which is much much more powerful than Photoview and which exploits the CG to the max. FYI Visualize arrived in SW 2016 SP 3 or 4 and it's the acquisition by SolidWorks of Bunkspeed, a rendering engine used for rendering in the automotive and aeronautical world.
