NVIDIA settings

[So not a Guru]

I have a Quadro K2200 on my Dell Precision 5810 tower, Xeon E5-1620 @ 3.5Hz, with 32GB of RAM. Can anyone recommend NVIDIA 3D settings for the best performance of Mastercam? Right now I just have the Global Settings set to "Base Profile"as I have no idea what else might give better performance.

I always force my graphics onto the NVidia  GPU in there for all my CAD/CAM/Graphics software.

I use the Dassault V5/ 3D experience settings.

Yep.

Pick whatever 3D CAD Software is available. Depending on the model/software, I might use:

• Catia Dassault V5
• Solidworks
• AutoCAD

So, I should select "Dedicate to graphics tasks", for the GPU utilization, correct.

Under Nvidia Control Panel

       Adjust Image Settings with Preview allows you to sacrifice visual quality for speed in some cases,

       Manage 3D Settings

                OpenGl rendering gpu = Nvidia GeForce, Quadro or other

                Power Management Mode = Prefer Maximum performance

       Physx = Nvidia GeForce, Quadro or other

I think the best option I have seen for people with two cards is to enforce the settings in the bios,

since a windows update can revert your settings

This is what I do. Dell is terrible about helping Windows in this area. Disable in the Bios and call it a day.
