Oh wow. Thank you for that comparison. That makes me wonder why my IT department said I must run duals if that single is so much better. We do some pretty power hungry operations in programs like nx and some specific blue/white light applications that require it from what I was told. Sometimes thousands of models on top of each other during these simulations. This is where this new system shines compared to my old one. Since we lease our machines I am stuck with this one for a while. But I can get a laptop put together now that my desktop is taken care of. Thanks so much for the help! Definitely bummed now though. EDIT: I keep hitting post cap. Is there something I need to do to get around this?

My old 7910 was only running two xeon e5-2630s @ 2.20ghz. I agree, I would like to run processors with higher base clock speed. But if my old system and my new system run other programs so differently but not MC, that is leading me to believe some settings are off.

Added to my previous reply. I guess I hit post cap for the day earlier.

I just had my IT department put together a customized Dell precision 7820 to replace my 7910. No expense spared oh this new computer and it barely out performs my old one on Mastercam. Something has to be configured incorrectly. Everything else performs night and day better on this new system. Does anyone know of any settings I should be changing to let mastercam use this extra hardware I am using? Is this something I should talk to my reseller about? I hit post cap for the day? PC specs: Windows 10, Dual Xeon Gold 5122s, 128gb 2666 RAM, Nvidia Quadro P5000, Dual optane drives (one boot one memory module) A handful of hard drives and some other stuff IT stuck in there. Running 3 Dell 27in monitors with this setup as well.

Did changing the priority to high help your performance at all? It doesn't seem to do anything for me.

This is my first post here so don't go too hard on me please. Are there any other settings within Mastercam that allow us to use more cpu, graphics card or ram? I am able to load up my processors around 80% at times but can never get my video card or RAM up past about 20% I just tried to set MC priority to high in task manager also just upped my config toolpath memory buffering to 80% but nothing changed.
