Mike,

 

I tried, it does not work.

Untimely kind of pointless to bench a 2D machine.

 

Most paths don't take anymore than a few seconds.

 

Time crunching complex 3D paths is MUCH different

Except I run SW, and that's 3D

Dave, HLE?

Dave, HLE?

That's a good idea but not worth the time

any shops near by who would loan you their level 3 sim ?

Tom, this is not much of a 3d town.....

you could ask your dealer for eval codes

hello guys, I scrolled a lot this thread to search imformation...

 

I would like to know something, what is best to have

More ram

or faster processor (4 core, 6 core, dual quad, dual six) to process toolpath?

 

Im currently looking for a new dell computer in a range of 3000$

 

I will go with a Nvidia quadro 2000, maybe 6- or 8 ram.

 

im I am hesitating with 3 processor ( or u can suggest me one)

 

-Six Core xeon W3670 3.2

- Six Core Xeon E5645 2.4

- Quad Core Xeon W3565 3.2

 

We are doing ALOT of big STL file so I need a quick PC to process all this. Thanks.

Here is a good link to research CPU's

 

Use the drop down theat says " Select a page" to access the search function

[PoNyCaR50L]

I knew that site, I used it for choosing my cpu

 

but does it really process faster if number a higher?

 

exemple, paying 500-600$ more a cpu (maybe 2000-4000 higer in benchmark) Will it save me few seconds or can it really save me 10-20% times in a piece that need 1 hours computing?

[EX-wccprogrammer]

As MasterCam is right now (X5), it only utilizes 1 core of the CPU (with minor exception, I think). With that in mind, clock speed is the single most important factor in selecting a CPU for MasterCam. Second would be RAM, to avoid slowing due to having to swap data to the hard drive. Third would be Video RAM on an upper-end video card.

 

Perhaps (X6 I hope) MasterCam will utilize multiple core CPU's. At that point, everything changes.

 

I use a 4-Core CPU at 3.73 GHz. No complaints about performance.

Ok so on Dell.ca the highest Ghz I found is 3.5 Boost to 3.9

Quad Core Xeon E3-1280 on a T1600 (T3500 or 5500 dont have this cpu)

 

I linked a jpg, do you think its a good choice?

[EX-wccprogrammer]

I am running a Dell T7500. (Scroll up a little on this page to see the full specs on my sled) 3.5 GHz is respectable, but I would avoid the overclock.

 

If you want out-of-the-box functionality, this would perform OK. If you want more bang for your buck, check out Dell Outlet. That's where I got mine.

Hello thanks for you help on forum

If you had the choice between these two, which one you think will perform best?

at cpubenchmark de 2.8 seems to work faster, but you tell me that mastercam works better with higher ghz..

If you intend to run software in addition to MasterCam, then I would go with the 6-core @ 2.8 GHz. If this system is solely for MasterCam, I would go with the faster clock. 25% better performance.

Benchmarks evaluate total data throughput, which will be faster with more cores. If you want to prepare for the future, use more cores. For speed today, use clock speed.

 

The 2.8 GHz system has a better video card also. This is also something to factor in.
