Mastercam uses vga this high?

What video card are you running on those computers?

with all the cad programs running at the same time you need a lot memory and  a qudaro  card >5200.

 

In your case, a top line Xeon  chip and the correct memory will help a lot.

 

 

 

PS. Forget windows 8.1. Go to Ver 10. and turn off the eye candy.

Quadro K620

I checked and one file that was made on MCX9, has 375MB.

This file has around 600 Machining lines on the program

Not sure if you can say this to the boss but if not you can send him the link for this conversation.

 

He's assuming that is all about hardware and that throw money at it will solve it.

 

I think there are other factors like software bugs or a design that is not 100% robust yet. He's thinking like an engineer and nothing wrong with that, but a computer and the software that runs on it are incredibly complex pieces. Few people in this world masters both disciplines in their whole.

 

He's got a good suggestion here, to turn off something and live well even with you currently have, which is NOT a bad spec at all. Some people here would be very happy with that HW.

 

That being said, if he truly needs all this accuracy, he's looking in the wrong place. He needs Vericut or NCSimul. He can zoom in to the molecular level and have excellent quality.

 

If I could share a tip with the man, that would be turn off adaptive quality during programming and in the final verification he can turn it on. It won't eliminate the crashes, but will reduce them significantly.

 

Do you know if these crashes are being reported to MC QC?

 

This is a case where I believe HW won't make much difference. It's a decent spec already. There's no perfect / bug free engineering software and sometimes we have to look at the things with a pragmatic view.

Thank's a lot for the informations

I'm from Brazil too rs. Send you a MP

Windows 10 would be an improvement over 8.1. Personally I prefer Windows 7.

 

My Machine is a custom build:

I7 5960X 4.4GHz

64GB DDR4 Ram

Nvidia Quadro K5200

Windows 7 Pro

Dual Samsung Evo Pro SSD drives RAID 1

 

Even my off the shelf laptop doesn't have issues with crashing. 

 

Dell M6700

I7 3820QM

32Gb Ram

Nvidia Quadro K3000M

Windows 7 Pro

Dual Samsung Evo Pro SSD drives RAID 1

 

 

Honestly I doubt its your processor causing an error. Unless its a blue screen of death its not hardware related. 

Are you talking Machsim or Verification? It you are talking Verification just turn off Adaptive Quality and that issue should go away. Also, get rid of Windows 8.1. 

 

 

On a side note, the possibility of a crash I was referring to is so slim it really isn't worth talking about. I was being facetious.

Thanks for the informations

So... windows 10 should be better?

And jus for curiosity, whats specs it's your machine?

Not necessarily. E5 is an entire series of processors. There is a lot of variables to consider in choosing a processor that this thread isn't touching on at all. Personally I will choose a high end I7 over a Xeon because dollar for dollar the I7 wins. The top of the line Xeons are great when you don't have to worry about budget and need things like ECC memory. For me I would rather save the $1K or more and deal with the possibility of a crash.

 

 

For a good comparison of processors check out http://www.cpubenchmark.net.

I work in a growing company and engineering management does not want to have problems with errors and lack of performance. Currently we have two computers with i7 4790k, 16gb, ssd, Windows 8.1 pro. They use two to three instances of open mastercam X9, catia, autocad, office, and so on. All at once. When they simulate on the mastercam, processor usage goes to 100% and begins to give errors and closes.

They want me to find a solution so this does not happen.

And Xeon E5? Will be better than the 7700k?

But which one? Xeon or I7?

Wich Processor to choose to use Mastercam, Catia, Cad, Solidworks? 

Xeon E3-1225 v5 OR I7 7700k?
