[QUOTE="TanMan, post: 313105, member: 10597"] I'm implementing exocad with our mill pretty soon and wanted to ask if you think that we should go with a Quadro or Radeon Pro Workstation card? I never like the stock PCs that come with any dental equipment and I tend to want to upgrade You may be onto something, at least with what I've upgraded and seen so far. When I upgraded the CPU, it didn't provide much perceptable increase in speed, but when I doubled the memory, the software seemed to be able to handle larger/more complex cases more readily. I couldn't upgrade the GPU since the power supply was too weak. These were incremental upgrades, but I'm about to do a full system upgrade hopefully on Monday. Going from an i7-7700k/Quadro M2000 to i9-9900k/RTX2080Ti. This will hopefully shed some light as to whether 3shape software can take advantage of increased clock speed and a newer generation consumer grade card. If it gets worse, I'll probably just use the computer for gaming instead (or use it as the base for an exocad computer) or switch the RTX with a Quadro RTX and see if that gets better or worse results. I'm pretty excited about Monday, I'm going to switch out the old school drives (IIRC, they are still the old wd caviar blue) of the CEREC with SSDs and up the memory from 16gb to 32gb. I have a spare 1660, so I might drop a 1660 in to replace the old 660Ti in there. If 3shape only uses 2 cores at a time, I wonder if you can VM 4 copies of 3shape, assign 2 cores for each copy.
