Help > Dell precision 690 problems with performance.

(OP)
We have received 3 of the new Dell Precision 690 64bit workstations to run catia. One of our problems is that our IT group has had to configure them back to 32 bit until we get some other applications set up for the 64 bit. We expected at least the same performance of the old workstations; but, we see terrible performance, far worse that our older 32 bit Dell workstations. Even changing the catia visualization settings to very low detail while moving (which is unacceptable because several parts, cgr's disappear while moving) doesn't approach the performance of the old workstations which is set to high detail while moving. Any advise will help.

Purchase better graphics cards.

RE: Help > Dell precision 690 problems with performance.

If you use certified graphics card you usually have an option in the graphic card setup to optimize it for Catia. This have shown to actually improve the performance.

You could check with your gfx card supplier or dell support and your own IT people that you have the correct 32 bit gfx driver installed.
Or run a graphics benchmark program and check against other peoples specs if you have sorted that avenue.
