Good morning to all,

Now I start to sclerare...in the office I have a hpz400 workstation equipped with the following (deludes) features:

intel(r) xeon(r) cpu w3520 @2.67ghz

6gb ram

nvidia picture fx 1800 (768 scandalous mb ram)

Now. .

use inventor 2014, network work, but not use vault being the only 3d designer; I have all my projects on the server; I make assemblies and consequently boards ranging from 500 parts up to even 8000 parts.. .

the problem is that especially when I put on the table now I put centuries even to zoom with the wheel, let alone to finish a table...with the final result that often stops the process of inventor 2013.

I am aware that my machine needs at least 2gb of rams and a new video card with more rams available. Just that they have very short arms from me.

I wonder, what do you think I should do? Put another fx1800 in the sli with the one already present? change video card in favor of a single bigger? share pc ram with the current video card to increase its performance? changing workstations?

I don't know what fish to take, please give me advice.

thanks to the attention to all

Did you try to copy the files you're working on? It's the only "software" that comes to my mind... A colleague of mine has the 6gb and, even if a little more ram would be very good, I would say that 5-6000 occasions manages them well: but with a 4000 picture, so the difference can be that.

Thank you for the answer;
Unfortunately working locally is not allowed. ..directive corporate sigh!!!
But in fact I suppose that if I asked to change the video card and increase of at least 2gb the ram of the pigeons, I could begin to breathe... I am arm of patience and I will face the final monster (the boss) to see what I can get.

while I thank you for the support

ps: but do you think if I give a little ram of the peas to the video card better a fur?
 
you can safely take a gtx 680, qui there are the latest benches, if you don't trust any artifacts see which pro cards you can choose between picture and firepro based on your budget. the old 1800 painting is definitely vetusta for those 3d models according to me.

ps- the company does not want you to work locally, at least you have a connection with the servers in ethernet simple I bet, and don't throw a euro for upgrades, why don't they go back to the rotating nibs since there are? All the same.. :wink:
 
Okay thank you for the advice, I will treasure
eggià! connection ethernet normal....just all the same..maledetti infami short arms!!! :biggrin:

The slow network is a big problem... a while ago we had everything on a 100mbit network server and it was a penalty... then we made a 1000mbit network (switch 5 doors from 40€) between workstations where one shares the disk (a vulgar 7000giri) and now it's like working with the local files. among other things we have not changed the network cables: are the old ones, the network is not going to the maximum but still it is about 700mbit, 7 times faster than before. the old server serves as an extra backup. I share experience, maybe you can't do it, but maybe someone else solves problems.
Good luck!
 
brethil, I would go to the head to say: "we have 3 possibilities"
1) work as now, but production times multiply x10. escorted things like "prepare me that table by today."
2) we update the network by spending, about 1'000 euros.
3) work locally, and on the server I only load backups, 1 time a week.

4) you sit next to you, open the table, turn the zoom wheel a little times and wait for his comments.
Since he is a boss, a solution will surely find it.:wink:
 
I work as a network, with pdm and on the network I invested a lot. the server file and the switch are fundamental to have acceptable performance, as well as a well-made wiring.
basically there is practically no difference from network to local, but:

the whole network is in cat6
the switch is valid, a catlyst cysco (can become a bottleneck even if always gigabit)
hp file server dedicated with windows file server 2012 and 5 disks sas 10krpm - reading speed measured about 750 mb/s
connection server file - switch with hardware teaming of quad gigabit cards.

this for 7 users, so network performance is not lacking.
 
Allow me but for me it was a mistake with hardware support like your install inventor 2014. if you knew you had no chance to enjoy the best hw you had to keep you inventor 2010 at the most... but apart from this, from what I have seen all autodesk products are very "enord" like hardware resources, heaviness of files etc...
the top would change workstation absolutely, because who does it as a mistress here is the processor that I believe it is absolutely inadequate for your work, then also the video card, ram could instead be enough.
If you want to improve something now, try moving your work directories to your local hard drive.
I to automate the backup process with the various servers use a simple softwarino that is called puresync, which also servers me to keep the common design folders updated with other employees or other business sectors.
 
ok the hardware of the pc will not be the maximum, but it is not even so poor.
so you should copy a project the local and see if there is a significant mileage.
If nothing changes, the problem is the pc.
if the situation improves the poblem is the network.

brethil, test it and let us know.
 
If it comes to the table that is slow, it seems to me that the critical phase described, should be the cpu, but also the card and the network are slow.
 
gentlemen thanks to all for your interventions, but I don't know exactly what to do, since my boss is already reluctant to let me put even 2 giga of more rams... let's change the workstation...beat first to bring me the peas from home!!!
My network is from 1gbps and the server runs only 5 machines of which only one workstation (my), so also by ignorant I suppose the network is not (at least I hope not to be wrong)
for the rest...I don't know, my pigeon has only 4 cores...but that I know is only from 2013 or from 2014 that inventor tries to exploit them full for the boards *.idw...
In short I will try cmq the ram street and better video card...and I will also try to provre to move my projects local except I do not break the maroni and hope to let you know how it went as soon as possible.

thanks to all
 
uff!!! So... copying my entire folder with my projects locally and having no referment to the copy on the server, the pigeon does not behave differently from when I work on the net, indeed the use of the ram buffer of the workstation always goes to nail (5.7 gb on 6.08 gb) and I did not notice anything as improvement, except in the rotation of the axieme 3d that seems a smoother hair on which I was working on


sk video and ram oppur throw workstations for a more violent???? ? ? ? ? ?

What a dilemma...
 
I can handle it pretty well

xeon quad core 2.5 ghz

disk 500 gb

nvidia fx 2000

ram 8 giga

begins to give problems beyond the 12/15.000 anniversary.

as you see it is a system just more performing than yours.

over all I was doing well enough with the fx 1700 and 4 g ram.
Are we sure the problem is just PC?

hi tarkus, as well as being helpful several times, you also make me reflect...and in fact your configuration seems to be little more performing than mine..

Now as now I got permission to understand what I have to update and possibly add to the machine to not make me blaspheme anymore...but before making purchases to the boss I have to center the matter. . .

I have already heard the systemists who provided us inventor and they have more than anything else suggested to bring the machine from 6 to 16gb ram and secondaryly to change the video card...

It is also necessary to say that since I am "latta car" in the field of 3d and that I have left alone to learn how to use inventor in the last 5 years. ..may also be that there are problems not necessarily related to the pigeons but to my method of work. . .
But I don't know... I have a library from where I draw instances of pieces and I use some bolts from the cc... I don't give anything to use or project nuclear reactors. ..only 3d models, odds and tables....all here!!!

What did he do?
