Solidworks 2013 Display Quality

Hi all

I just installed my solidworks 2013 on a new PC, and I notice that it works much less well than on the old one.

Features are less responsive, especially in sketches. Proposal of much slower automatic geometric relationships, etc... Also, the quality of rendering is much less fine. The sketch lines look coarse and the edges of the 3D models are less clean.

I checked the display settings and everything looks similar to what I had on the other PC.

 

The configuration is a priori close to that of the old computer, except Windows 10 alpd Windows 7, that the old one had 2 x 2GB of RAM, and the new one 1x 4GB... Also the old processor was a Pentium P6000 at 1.87GHz while the new one was a core i3 at 2.3GHz.

An example of part rendering:

Do you have any idea where the problem can come from???

A big thank you in advance!

Hello

I think you're going to have compatibility issues between Solidworks 2013 and Windows 10.

Hello

I also find the configuration of the PC a bit tight, intel core i3 with 4 GB of RAM and an integrated intel HD graphics card to run SW 2013?

Kind regards

arf compatibility with Windows! It could well be that :s

Yes, the config is not crazy (although it will go to 2 x 4GB of RAM in a few days) but it worked very well on the PC before. I don't do big assemblies or extremely complicated parts and I've never been stuck.

 

Others have had this compatibility problem?

 

"Windows 10 will not support SOLIDWORKS 2014 and earlier versions for technical reasons (framework version,...)" according to the http://www.cadware-education.fr/education/boite-a-outils/trouver-sa-licence/15628-windows-10-et-solidworks site. So try to install the 3.5 framework on your PC...
