    Firepro v8800 crossfire with sw2011 sp3 issue

    thanks! (that means i need to disable to crossfire mode just for solidwork then. I am running other application beside solid works, that's why this question is sound kind of awkward to you.

    Firepro v8800 crossfire with sw2011 sp3 issue

    Does anyone here experienced the model ghosting? (like the image doe not get updated when rotating the model unless rebuild command is issued) It only happens when crossfire mode is enabled, and it runs flawlessly when both of these cards operate solely . Thanks

    solid works and 12 gig of ram

    what is the system loading durning rebuild (when it takes for ever)? can you share with us the CPU and RAM loading? if the rebuild takes too long, you might want to look at the sub files. the rebuild time can be affected if there are too many individual sub folders.

    solid works and 12 gig of ram

    try to get a SSD as your OS drive instead, first copy the project of interest into that drive then perform your regular duties. There will be huge ram consumption during file accessing, but consuming 12GB of ram would be uncommon. try access your project in C:\ only and reduce the sub assmebly...

    Workstation suggestion

    Your colleague is right. Speed of course has somethings to do with the card but the main question is, what applications are you trying to run? 3dS or SW....etc? they run very differently. Usually the gaming video hardware is almost the same as the CAD system hardware with some minor twist such...

    Workstation suggestion

    i have 2 rigs, one for simulations and one for CAD development: Simulation rig: HPz600 , Dual Xeon X5650 24GB RAM (some times there is not enough RAM if the model is crazy large) 300GB SAS on RAID0 (not too much help, perhaps Raid 1 would be better off?) CAD Rig: (will upgrade soon) 3 yr old...

    What makes a motherboard a workstation motherboard?

    to me a here are my definitions for "computers" gaming rig: -fast single core cpu -SSD -non-ECC ram up to 8GB -2x dual GPU gamming graphics card with around 4GB ram work station: for simulation purposes -dual socket mainboard for future expension -uses ECC ram with approx. 24GB ram when both...

    remotely use SW

    windows RTM is slow because it never use image compression and it is not reliable at all.... but working remotely is perfectly fine as long as you are not doing any rendering work.

    remotely use SW

    yes i do! I am running into the same situation as you are since I do alot of field work. two things that you have becareful of are the graphics won't be nice, and laggy performance due to slow internet speed.
