Hello Everyone,
I had a post recently where I asked for help with hardware suggestions for speeding up Chief's performance with large files. Specifically multi family buildings with 40+ units.
There was a bunch of answers but mostly the consensus was that Chief was not designed for this type of work.
One area I have recently discovered as a possible solution to this problem is switching from a standard graphics card to a "workstation card"
Workstation cards are purpose built cards for 3D rendering and work on Open GL based software instead of a gaming cards direct X software. Nvidia has the Quadro Series and AMD has the Firepro series.
For 3D rendering programs such as 3D Studio Max and Maya there is a substantial difference in performance from gaming cards. I was also told that other Cad software is dramatically improved as well. What I am curious about is if anyone here has done the switch over to a workstation card and experienced an improvement in Chief's performance.
Thanks again for all your previous replies to the last post.
Cheers,

I have finally worn down my old mouse, looking to get a new one. Anyone have any luck with programmable, multi button mice. if so, I would love some recommendations. Would be nice to attach some hotkeys to it if its possible.

I have just upgraded to X8 premiere from X7 Premiere. The time to save files is extremely slow, maybe 5 seconds or longer. I tried my existing files from X7 and then created a new file in X8. The file in X8 was bare minimum, walls and roof only and it still took at least 5 seconds.
I am running Windows 7 64bit, with intel core i7-4790 processor, 16gb ram.
Any thoughts as to what has slowed my system down when saving the file.
Before upgrading to X8 I upgraded to Window 10. I had nothing but problems and then restored back to Windows 7. I am still experiencing problems in Windows 7 since the attempt to upgrade to Windows 10. However, under Windows 7 and Chief X7 there was no apparent problem. Does anyone suspect a conflict from Windows 10?
