I am using Solid works Premium 2011 x 64 edition On a Dell T7500 with a Quadro 4800. Its a 12 core 24 GB ram pc. I have heard that the program uses only one core when in use but i get massive slowdowns during rotating models. It works fine on my laptop with 2 cores and 4 gb ram so whats the problem. I ran the Solid works Benchmark test and it came back with these results:
Graphics 35.6 sec
Processor 125.8 sec
I/O 89.9 sec
Rendering 37.6 sec
Overall: a whopping 251.4 Sec
I have seen others with less power and have Processor time of 0.10sec this makes no sense.
I need help.
What is the specific cpu model in your system?
Are you running Windows 7?
What are the specs on your laptop?
Hard to compare without more details about your two systems.
Cheers,
