Problem X4 Mu3 on Quadro FX580

[PoNyCaR50L]

Hello,

 

I just recently bought a new computer

 

My problem is, I had a old Quadro FX 1700 on my last computer and it work well.

 

Now I switch to x64 I7 860 with Quadro FX 580.

 

If I run Mastercam on version X3 MU1 , its running very well, I can drag geometry with fluidity.

 

But If I run mastercam X4 Mu3, its running very slow. I cant drag geometry well. (soooo slow) .

 

Do you have any fix for this?

 

Thank

Compare the X3 and X4 Screen page of System Config and see if they are set the same.

Also, make sure you have installed the latest driver from NVIDIA.

Drivers are up to date... I Will Check tomorrow for settings

I look at the screen setting inside both mastercam. They look the same..

[gcode]

Right click your X4 desktop short cut

Choose Compatibility

Make sure

"Disable visual themes"

and

"Disable desktop Compostion"

are checked.

I tried but it didnt help..

 

What you think of the card FX1700 do you think it is better than the FX580

 

If yes maybe I will swtich to my old FX1700

I would not change to the FX1700, the 580 is a considerably better card. I would uninstall the FX580 driver then reinstall it (there is new a driver came out recently). I had a similar issue with 1 new I7 920 machine and re installing the driver fixed it (something left over from the original win7 driver).

my 580 runs great. Nvidia has a link to a full driver un-install utility to completely purge old drivers. You boot in safe mode with it so it can purge everything.

[PoNyCaR50L]

I did an uninstall, I downloaded a cleanup utility ran in safemode. Then reinstall my drivers. same thing. It dont work in X4 MU3..

I am getting ready to buy a similar system. I believe somewhere in the forum it is advised to get the drivers from the Solidworks website.

Sounds like your back to your X4 MU3 installation. There should be no difference from X3 to X4 in graphics slowdowns from what I saw when I ran X4 for a month. You can try the different card, but this sounds more like a corrupt X4 install at this point. Did you migrate settings or do a fresh stand alone install?

[PoNyCaR50L]

I tried changing my card im getting the same problem now...

 

I will reinstall X4 ... if the problem persist maybe it something else ....

[PoNyCaR50L]

wow i uninstalled Update 3 of X4 and now it work very well (only X4) I tried to install again update 3 on X4 and after this update X4 its getting slow...

 

Will try to crash everything but it just strange to me...
