To be sure that it works well with SW you can look at SW's recommendations.
I've always had Nvidia and since the day before yesterday I have a Quadro pro P2000 5 GB. You have one that's close by and that also allows you to do VR. This can be helpful depending on what you're doing.
I always make pieces less than 1 m3 in volume so VR is of no use to me :-)
Hello
Be careful, you shouldn't look for velocity because SW hardly uses the graphics card (everything goes through the processor, even for rendering).
On the other hand, you have to use a card certified by SW.
http://www.solidworks.fr/sw/support/videocardtesting.html
[ - Review the system requirements to ensure that you are always working with a system that is supported and optimized for SOLIDWORKS, whether for workstations, operating systems, or Microsoft products.
- SOLIDWORKS graphics card drivers are certified with SOLIDWORKS-specific profile settings or with the default settings provided by the graphics card vendor. Using other settings may impact the stability, performance, and quality of the display.
- Certified graphics cards and systems are tested more thoroughly and come with technical support from vendors. SOLIDWORKS recommends using certified graphics cards and systems. ]
Kind regards
Thank you, but several questions.
The SW app marks me card templates that I can't find when I buy
Intel HD graphic P 4600
I find it only in computer configurations.
There is no card list that works well with SW.
Because I wonder if with an intel processor, the card should be intel
No not at all a graphics card for sw
it's a pro card
n'videa quadro
Fire Pro
For such a card are integrated cards into the proc
For SW it is the frequency of the proc that is important, preferably above 3 GHz
We could see here that a Xeon proc was more efficient than an i7
Most users have quadro or fire pro

Hello Paulik
You have to start from what you find in the different proposals of assemblers or manufacturers and look in the link I gave you if your board is compatible or not. Otherwise you'll spend a lot of time there for not much.
SW only says "you want to buy a card or you already have it purchased!"
"Then look in the list to see if it's compatible."
As ObiOne would say, may the force be with you :-)
Hello, I'm gradually moving forward on my slowness problem.
I can't change my graphics card because it's soldered on the motherboard. So big problem.
On the other hand, when I launch SW in RX with the option not to take the additional options, the software works great. What does that mean? that my options are badly adjusted.
I still have a doubt about the exact breakdown.
I tried to reset the options but it's even worse.
Always a slowness with each line of each piece that is selected very slowly.
I wonder in the end if in the options I don't have something ticked that in the end slows down my SW.
Thank you for your help
Is it a tower or a laptop? In a tower, you can add any card you want.
In terms of options, look at the ones I circled on the attached screenshot (it's not a 2017 version but you should still find them)
Hello
To see if simply in the options / document property / image quality if everything is not at full speed and in this case reduce the adjustment bars.
For the graphics card strange that it is soldered, a photo?
You don't have to go through a pro card, just some options like the RealView are disabled
An nvidia gtx770 will work very well otherwise you can find quadro K420 at 150€ new, otherwise used it is frequently found depending on your budget.
If you have the means as said in a previous post, you can find second-hand pro PCs with xeon + pro graphics card for 600-700€ without problem (PCs that are 5 years old in general)
Hello and thank you for your feedback. It's nice.
My computer is a big assembly
For the graphics card I said soldered, but I rather wanted to say that it looked like it made a single card with the motherboard.
I don't really know if we can add one?
For the settings my SW was well configured in relation to the attachment.
In the performance option all the sliders are at a minimum
What makes me wonder is that in RX without SW option works well. I have to go and get my models but otherwise it's fine.
What does that mean? that the card works well. I wouldn't want to change my card or computer and have the same ^me problem. What do you think?
Yes, you can add a card without any problem.
Quadro cards are not very thick at the entry level so you have all the room you need.
Otherwise you take a consumer / gamer card you will probably have to move the small pci card down a notch or even remove it completely.
On the other hand, something apart that won't hurt your turn, it's a vacuum cleaner or blow gun. Note that in electrical cabinets dust is considered flammable. Although I have never seen a PC tower catch fire.
Indeed, the Intel HD Graphic 530 "graphics card" is soldered on the motherboard, but this is the case for all "tower" machines. I put graphics card in quotation marks because in fact it's a chip (we talk about a chipset).
When you connect a real graphics card, it is detected and takes over automatically (sometimes you still have to take a little turn in the BiOS to manage this).
Ok and thank you.
But
I still have one question that worries me.
Does the fact that by drawing in SW RX in mode without options, everything goes well mean that my "graphics card" works well or does it mean nothing?
Here's what I found on the mode that works well for my SW.
Launch SOLIDWORKS by ignoring the settings under Tools/Options: In this second configuration, SOLIDWORKS starts with the default settings: toolbars, menus, keyboard shortcuts, system options. This feature can be used to highlight behaviors related to a specific SOLIDWORKS setting, or user-specific corruption of the SOLIDWORKS registry. This boot mode only applies to this SOLIDWORKS session (so you find your settings the second time you start SOLIDWORKS).
I guess that means that something is wrong in my options and that the computer is not the source of the problem???
Thank you for your opinion
Indeed, I would interpret it in this way as well.
You can reset the settings of SW: Resetting Settings
In the discussion we see that we can restore the parameters by category.
So make a backup of your current setting, then restore the settings gradually until it works.
Hopefully, you can then restore your old settings and reset only the offending category
If that's not enough, you'll have to consider uninstalling/reinstalling SW.
I have restored everything in terms of settings, but it's the same. Something crazy.
I'm thinking of creating a restore point, uninstalling SW.
On the other hand, I wonder if in the registry there won't be files left that will make SW reinstall like the first time.
Do you know how to do it?
Apart from passing a CCleaner shot, I don't see anything else to do.
Remember to deactivate your license before uninstalling, shut down (and not just restart) the machine after each step (uninstall, CCleaner, reinstall).
Hello
The BDR you have to put the snorkel and fins to go tinker in it, to be avoided.
On the other hand, if you end up completely uninstalling SW there will be no link after reinstallation (basic principle of the BDR, the indexes are contextual). Remove directories once uninstalled if they are not deleted as a precaution.
From the 2017 and 2018 versions, the installation of a new version is better done following the many problems when people had several versions on the computer.
Stupid question, do you have big software (other than browsers) because these are also slow, the problem would not be SW. This happened to me recently because the motherboard was starting to mess up before giving up the ghost.
Kind regards
Hello
For a clean uninstall / reinstall of SW you can follow this document, especially chapter IV, be careful the position of the registry keys may be different depending on the version of Windows.
Kind regards
Hello, victory and desolation.
Victory because I uninstalled by deleting the files from the database.
I put my options back and everything works perfectly without any problem
but
Sorry by what avenao had told me that it was probably the graphics card. I even went to see to buy a computer. All this for a simple reinstallation. The beaba of computing. In any case a big thank you to you and especially for saving a card or a computer
