Solidwork 2017 SP 3.0 has become very slow

Hello, for some time now, SW has been very slow. I wonder if it's not after cleaning with CCleaner.

Whatever I do, all the strokes and planes change color' (like a refresher) when the mouse passes. It gives me the impression that the software is always refreshing

So it's very complicated to work.

Someone has an idea.

I restored the computer, updated my graphics card

 

Hello

Try upgrading to SP4 or SP5 if you are under maintenance.

Alas, no. But I've already had this problem of permanent refresh, but I can't remember what to check or not

See if it can help you. Why don't you update to SP4, it still fixes bugs from previous versions...

I asked my provider to send me the link to SP 5.

He told me that it is the most reliable.

On the other hand, he told me about heating up the computer and it's true that I changed offices. 

So I opened the computer to ventilate.

But he would be more inclined towards a graphics card problem than a SW problem

Why not do a system restore to a date when it worked fine?

Hello

How many are you on Windows and have there been any updates at the time of the appearance of the problem?

Have you tested the following different points: http://help.solidworks.com/2017/french/SolidWorks/sldworks/c_Display_Issues.htm?id=8358ff2cded44ca2a0f430715d733582#Pg0&ProductType=&ProductName=

Hello, after having my solidwork salesman and updating my solidwork to SP 5.0, it seems that it is the graphics card that is HS.

My computer is quite recent (Grosbill model) under windows 10

My graphics card is an intel HD graphic 530

My intel core I5 6400 CPU 2.7Ghz processor.

I don't know much about it, but in your opinion which card would be the fastest and most adaptable on my computer

 

Thank you

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).
