Which one is more resource hungry?
(OP)
Hey guys, I'm going to switch from CATIA to solidworks in a few days. I'm wondering which of the two programs require more system resources to run. In particular, does solidworks require a more advanced video card than catia? The reason I ask is on the catia site, it just says you need something with 3D OpenGL, but the solidworks website actually gives you a list of certified Video cards.
Thanks for the help!

While Catia's statement that "A graphics adapter with a 3D OpenGL accelerator is required" is true, it really isn't very helpful. Catia may run on any low-end OpenGL card but it may not run very well.

I run both SWx 06 and CATIA v5r14 on the same computer (a "home built") Chances are that if your CATIA is running good, so will SWx.
