Joe,

 

Have you checked to make sure NVidea Graphics is being used rather than the "OnBoard GPU"?

Hey Joe,

I updated both of my monitors and also updated my NVIDIA driver to the latest version. Still having the same problem but I wanted to thank you for your help! Eventually something will come up and I will figure it out.

No, other way around ... A SSD may not be NVME......many are SATA (1 2 or 3) and only 1/4 the Speed of a PCIe NVME drive...... ie 550mb vs 3100mb/s

Ok, I think I got it.

And Joe I think you have Ruined EGerace Thread

We wont charge him any extra for all that he learned, lol

Probably scared him away! lol

ahh Okay, I see it...

so in conclusion, pretty sure he has the 860 evo SATA 2.5" as a primary with a WD500 NVMe as a data drive not being used, and then the firecuda got ditched as he probably only has 1 SATA 2.5" space available

So you can have a NVMe that is not a SSD?

The model number suggest SATA III not NVME

 

And I don't see any Samsung Storage Controllers? but maybe the Samsung Driver is not installed for the 860 and it is Using the Microsoft one....

The EVO 860 is also SATA III AFAIK and comes in m2 SATA or 2.5" SATA format

Dont know it this information helps

the other 1 is your NVME, it is a 500gb Western Digital NVME...for some reason your tech chose to make it a data drive i nstead of  getting all the benefits of using it as a primary with your OS...mistake in my mind

I don't see it as a NVMe.

Am I missing something?

I mentioned previously that I had a laptop and some ports would use the nVidia card and some ports used the Intel card. It did not matter what Chief was told, the monitor used the Intel card so 3D views when using that port did what you describe. The way to check is open the nvidia control panel and see what card the montior is using-I don't have a second set up for that machine any longer so this doesn't show the problem.

Is this correct?

Make him put this one in and Clone your 1TB Drive to it and make it the Boot Drive..... ( 1TB to be Storage)

with the Credit for the empty WD 500GB it shouldn't cost much if anything if you factor in his embarrassment...

Good advise

can you screenshot your device manager disk drives?

10 minutes ago, TheKitchenAbode said:

I think it's a Windows thing. I just checked mine in device manager and it also does not say it's NVMe, but if I open up it's properties DBX and check under the Events tab it states under information that it is an NVMe Samsung Pro 970.

Here is response to both of you

m2 isn't always NVME , some are combo Ports that can use NVME or SATA drives in the 2280 Format...

 

But assuming you have the Strix Scar II 15" GL504GM  it seems it had a NVME drive as per your sig.

 

 

Yes it did have it as original

Are you using the mini-displaport for the external monitor?

Yes for one of them

2 minutes ago, Renerabbitt said:

hmm very fishy, I can't think of any reason other than to scam that your 256gb NVME would no longer be in your system-thats just flat out wrong...someone may have taken advantage of you

Yes, or they dont know what they are doing.

Either way I wont accuse him because we have had a long time good relationship but I will demand that he makes it right.

Yep,

I think this is the problem!

What do you think?

Im on the SSD but it doesnt appear to be NVMe

Here are both of my drives. I'm not using the smaller one at all

It could have Both ...nvme for the OS and the 1TB for Data/storage , many laptops do.

 

The 1TB in your sig. is a HDD not an SSD though.

Are you using the mini-displaport for the external monitor?

 

Edit : forgot to say device manager should show the installed Disk Drives

I have both (SSD and Standard) I have everything on the SSD drive and nothing on the standard

13 minutes ago, Renerabbitt said:

nvme uses the m.2 slot, as opposed to a standard SATA port that an SSD would use...so if you upgraded than it should still be an NVME, though not all NVME's are created equal- they are still faster than SSDs by a lot

My tech told me it should still be the same. I'm going to see him soon and I will verify that stuff.

More RAM the better for utilizing it to increase page files on secondary slow drives and RAMdisk partitions for better read write speeds- not because I need more memory for CA(I need it for other programs running while CA is taking up its fair share of RAM)

256 GB PCIe NVMe solid state drive

I upgraded this to a TB and I think I may have lost the NVME when they did it. How can I check?

On both Monitors?

I only have one graphics card

Is that what your talking about Joe?

Joe,

Yes

Everything works very well and very fast. Just when I'm in 3D and making changes that it hangs up. My other computer wasn't much less than this one.

Also, I'm having issues with the program locking up when I use the 3D on additional monitors. I sort of given up on trying to fix it for now.

Laughing because you have an NVME drive in your computer, and your computer is a gaming machine- haha, or is that what you are saying, that you went with a gaming machine?

I have other posts about creating RAMdisks and setting your UNDO as well as the user library to the RAMdisk as you have plenty of RAM.

your CA should be installed on your NVME primary drive, along with anything else associated with CA.

I'm surprised you can't tell the difference, what did you upgrade from? At the very least you should notice that windows fires up really fast and that programs open up really fast

 

 

I’m glad my imbecility is humorous to you! LOL

I'm also glad that you pointed something out to me I didn't know.

CA does a ton of read writing and memory spikes galore...whereas you just wont see that much difference between the same gfx/mem/HD hardware system with one being a 4ghz 8 core and the other a 3ghz quad core...YET,  you'll see a world of difference between an SSD with low ram vs an NVME primary, SSD secondary, with tons of RAM and a RAMDISK plus a larger page file on the second drive.

An ultrabook, setup with a lot of RAM and NVME's can smoke a gaming computer in PRODUCTIVITY in my opinion...I am so much faster on an iPad remotely connected to my laptop than on my laptop itself....b/c of the touch screen.

see screener:

20 min sample of me working and CPU usage is very low on the whole but read writes and HD activity are huge

Never heard of this "NVME" before and so if someone can dumb it down for me to understand it I would be very appreciative.

As you can see in my signature I went with what I though was a pretty powerful computer but now I have been disappointed because everyone told me to get a gaming computer and I don't see it being any faster than what I had before. Not that I'm upset at anyone because i did a lot of research and it was my choice. I never heard of "NVME" so not sure what to think now.

It seems some new members don't see them by default , but when you setup your Own there is aa Checkbox to enable All Signatures to be View , you can later turn off individual one's  if you don't want to see them.

 

David did a Short Video that may help too....

I know about the video and turning on the signature but I didn't understand that you have to have something in your signature box to be able to view others. Am I understanding that correctly now?

If you can't see it , that is because you haven't done yours and enabled Signatures while doing it....

 

Mine is there too but a desktop.

 

 

I dint know this, Thank You!

Hello! I am new to Chief Architect, as in I haven’t purchased the program, but plan on it. 

I am in the market to purchase a new laptop, Mac is high on my list. 

Which laptop is your favorite to use with Chief? 

Welcome to Chief if you are coming aboard! I love this Program!

Keep in mind that a lot of people in this forum has there computer specs in their signature and so you can see what their using. Makes it easier to help others diagnose problems if they know what type of equipment and CA version is being used. The more information the better.

My info is below but its not a mac.

Joe, I don't think there are any plumbing fittings in the library. I had previously done a search in X10 for fittings, and also manf. catalogue that might have fittings, but wound up modelling my own with P-solids and saving each one / type in my User Library under Plumbing. Naming each one to type (i.e. wye, 90, etc.)

Thank you, I have made them myself in the past but I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask in case someone new something I didn't.
