Hi,
I have HP Zbook G3 series workstation with nvidia quadro m2000m graphics card on it. In Solidworks Rx I noticed that System manufacturer can not be recognized. When I checked Solidworks Hardware certification page I also saw that this model is not shown on the list anymore. Is recognition of vendor problem due to this support removal? Thanks for the comments and help.
Note: Windows 10 is installed and I have Solidworks 2019-2020 student edition.
That was a common issue a year or two ago. My Dell wasn't recognized either. However, it never affected performance, so I ignored it. If everything else is working fine I'd recommend you doing the same. Are you having problems?
Hi,
Now I use Solidworks 2019 student version and I see lagging during drawing. I did not have the similar problem when I was using solidworks 2018. Actually it is funny that When I started using 2019 at the beginning this model had support at hardware certification list. They decided to drop support and then Rx recognized my system as unknown. The worst scenario is to turn back to 2018. Thanks for the help.

you will not be able to go back to a student version 2018. The license for a student version is only good for 1 year and the 2018 Student Version license would have expired sometime around last May or June.
your best option is try to adjust settings to speed up your drawing settings. First things to do is lower your settings in the options for the drawing quality (there are 2 slider bars- for the display related settings), you don't need it set too high.
Also other things like excessive hatching or details that are not needed will slow down the drawing generations and editing.
Thanks for the help. Actually, I face this lag issue not only while drawing but also even switching to menus and buttons. In Nvidia settings it shows solidworks is already using nvidia high gpu settings. There must be another problem causing this but I will keep searching for a solution.
I had a lag issue that was similar and it turned out that the issue was that Solidworks was accessing the network every time I made a selection of a part in an assembly. The reason that it was, was that I had network locations in my options area under file locations.
I think that this shouldn't be a problem, but it is. So there you have it.
Here is the link where mine was an issue:
Network traffic during selection of component from assembly....
Thanks for the help. I looked at the link and All of my parts are locally saved on my ssd. Sometimes it becomes really slow that I cant even draw a line!
My issue had nothing to do with where the parts were saved. My issue had to do with network locations listed here:
Not just the document templates area, I mean any of the locations listed in the drop down box of the "File Locations".
Do you have any network locations listed in any of the file locations in your options area?
How is a company supposed to do business if it can't store it's templates and other files on a network drive?
I don't know. What I do now here is I have a folder located on the network. A copy of that folder is on everyone's machine (hard drive) in the same address location. Anytime I need to update our standards, I update it on that folder and then copy the entire folder and overwrite everyone's standard folder on their hard drives. There is probably a faster way to do this by pushing it out to their computers, but I don't have access to do that.
I checked again and all folders are located locally not on the network.What I noticed that when I even move mouse cursor to the menu buttons it increases the cpu usage too much! Ah I really do not understand what makes this. I installed the certified drivers and i turned all settings to min. in performance tab but still no luck.
The issue of 2018 is back I believe.
Hello Burak Tevfik
Your theory is correct in that there is a correlation between the Hardware Certification webpage and the RX database. However, that is changing. There will be changes made over the next couple of months that will increase the reliability of the SOLIDWORKS RX Diagnostics scan. This will affect new versions and older versions of RX including 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019. Stay tuned for future posts from me on this RX topic.
