  1. So I posted about this a while back but now I have a video to demonstrate the difference that I'm coming across. Both computers are running near similar specs, both running the WINDOWS version of chief via bootcamp Both are on windows 8.1, same gfx card, near same processor, same resolution, both have fast SSDs, etc. heres the link to the video on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJiIwI9cxeg please notice the difference in load times and FPS while looking through the plan in 3D. I need both computers to run chief as well as the one on the left. //EDIT Not to mention, both computers run the OSX version at a low framerate as well, similar to the performance on the Retina mac on the right. any explanation for this?
  2. That's just the thing, other 3D apps work great. I tried installing a fresh copy of the DEMO off the website on both my Mac OS and Bootcamp Windows OS. Previously, it worked fluently on the Windows OS, but after a couple of updates, it doesnt work anymore.I rolled back graphics card drivers and still no luck.
  3. I have a hunch some driver or setting for the gtx is not allowing chief to work at its full potential. I can run Valley Benchmark on the exact same machine and have high framerates (40+) but Chief just doesn't want to run fluidly. Macbook pro 15" Mid 2012 (retina) intel core i7 quad ivy bridge processor 2.3ghz x4 256gb SSD 8gb 1600mhz ddr3 Ram Nvidia geforce gtx 650m with 1gb gddr5 ram OSX 10.10 Yosemite
  4. It's not an issue with my plans, its either an issue with a driver or software configuration. It's not just one plan it's every plan I try which I have had no issues with prior. Even the sample plans off CA website fully unzipped are taking forever to look at. I just thought that someone may know of some simple setting that I'm missing?
  5. I'm having trouble running Chief on my Macbook Pro 15" with 2.6 ghz i7 and gtx 650m with 1gb gddr5 ram and 8gb of ddr3 ram. I'm left utterly confused as to why the entire program lags with choppy frame rate. My system should be able to blow away the layouts I have with a high frame rate when rotating. It's as if Chief is using the onboard Intel 4000 to render instead of the 650m. However, when I look into preferences and then go over to graphics status, chief recognizes that its using the 650m. I'm wondering if its a graphics card bug, because my windows laptop at the office has a similar spec layout and it used to work fine. all of a sudden after a couple of updates, it has the same slow performance. Can anyone shed some light on this for me? I'm using the latest updates on both machines as well as the latest nvidia drivers.
