One of the main advantages of SSD is that it does not have any moving parts as opposed to the traditional drive. We recommend at least 500Gb SSD, but if budget allows go for 1Tb+. They are also less power hungry than the traditional hard drives. Solid State Drives (SSDs) are strongly recommended due to their excellent system responsiveness, faster boot times, and silent operation. See more detailed Graphics card information by vendor on Solidworks website. Here’s a list of some of the suitable cards as of 2020: Radeon Pro WX 9100 SolidWorks Graphics cardsĪdditionally, you will need a professional level Graphics card (GPU), such as, ideally, NVIDIA Quadro RTX 3000 to RTX 5000. We recommend you go for 32Gb or RAM or more for optimum performance. In fact, you can forget about 8Gb as it will definately not be sufficient. The larger the models you work on, the more memory the computer needs to keep things moving. In terms of RAM, you will need at least 16Gb. Second consideration for doing SolidWorks graphic modelling is RAM (Random Access Memory) or main memory. SolidWorks does not benefit from hyperthreading.
This is due to the fact that the cores have to communicate with each other to complete the task, which can slow things down. SolidWorks specifies that Finite Element Analysis (FEA) in SolidWorks Simulation may benefit from multiple cores, however, they do not advise to use more than 8 cores. The reason behind this is that most of Mechanical Computer Aided Design (MCAD) software is single-threaded. SolidWorks runs best on a fast single core processor.
