[QUOTE="CoolHandLuke, post: 149037, member: 4850"] there are a lot of ways to bog down 3shape. lets start at the beginning with Hardware: 1. hardware speeds. ok you have 4 Gb video card but have you actually Benchmarked it, or read the speed rating on the box? some really cheap 4Gb cards are sub-800Mhz. the good ones are mid range price, clocking 2-3Ghz but very few will tell you any of that unless you dig pretty deep. 2. hardware type; RAM suffers from bottlenecking. your CPU speed and RAM speed should be about equal, if not CPU speed faster. but again the hardware can get bogged down if your operating system is using excessive VRAM, or is low-prioritizing your 3shape requests, and maxing out bloatware speed like antivirus or firewall, or Free Online Poker *shudder*. in therms of your CPU theres no real measurable quantitative difference between i3, i5 andi7 processors apart from their names; Intel even came out and admitted it publically. 3. system throughput; modern solid state hardware performs exceptionally, except running 32bit software (which will only ever utilize two cores of your processor, so PAY ATTENTION to individual core speeds) now lets move to Software. 1. the NVidia control panel opens up your programs to utilize the graphics display that best suits your performance needs vs the Quality of the display in items like rendered lines, fluidity of shaping, rapidity of calculating animation, and others. for 3shape the video card is not used for much of the work. sum3d uses it quite a lot when doing Simulations. things don't get a lot better if you are installing 3shape to be used via server, or though a VPN for home use. yes, communicating to the hard drive is one less step, but that step takes 10 times longer to do through a vpn. bottom line here terry, we'd need more information, both about the system iteslf and the specific times you see slowness.
