as for the part sorry it is under an NDA so it cant go out of the building, but thank you for offering to verify it. I am out of the office for a bit but when i get back i'll grab the info and see what i can come up with next. thanks again guys.

Some answers (hopefully) I talked with our mastercam guy and he said that all the settings in the verify were equal under both cards, but i am not 100% certain on that. We do have a maintenance release for x7 however the guys are crazy paranoid about moving until it goes live from mastercam so talking them into that is a bit difficult, i will see what i can do there. As for drivers, does anyone have any suggestions on which one to try next since we are on the regular ODE? rogkick: to answer your question here is thier answer to that, The program starts out with some simple 2D contours and then moves into the more complex 3D roughing and finishing operations thanks for the help guys.

OK if i miss something i'm sorry, i'm more the IT admin than the mastercam guy. So we have x6 loaded up on I7 8GB of ram, nvidia gt520 video card. Anyway verification times were getting out of control along with a few other slowdowns so we decided to upgrade to 16gb of ram (max on this particular mb) and a quadro k4000 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814133485 , well the ram did not get updated yet because the motherboard is being picky about it so initially it is just the video card. So the video card was replaced, I used driver sweeper to completely remove the gt520 drivers. I then installed the k4000 with the latest regular ode graphics driver from nvidia. So far everything is fine, however when we went to verify a part the time was drastically longer. with the gt520 it was 1hour 52 minutes, with the new card it went up to 3 hours 14 minutes. I searched on here for possible resolutions and so far we have went into settings-configuration and made sure that hardware acceleration is enabled and it is. We also went into settings, config and opengl is checked and disable front buffer is disabled. I could not find really any more info on this anywhere so decided to ask. Also the new memory has not come in so in reality the only difference is the video card. any help on this would be greatly appreciated. thanks
