    hello everyone, im new to this forum and wondering if i can get some help.

    im running sketchup pro 8 on a dual zeon 2.6ghz, 6 gb ram, quadro fx 3800 video card.

    im working on a heavy project. and after turning of shadows and all the extra stuff in sketchup, its still kinda sluggish.

    would a video card upgrade show any improvement in performance?? maybe a GTX 580 2gb.

    any ideas are appreciated.

    Thanks

      Don't think so...
      Sketchup won't take much use of better graphics card (or even multiple) and can't use more thatn the 4Gg of ram.
      Your best option is to put everything in layers and turn off everyone that you're not using while modeling, and avoid using big texture maps and turn them off while modeling.

        yea, that's what i though. and that is what im doing now.
        is there ANYTHING i can do to improve performance? why is this lag happening anyway? running out of RAM?

        if its not video card. is it ram? cpu? both?
        i know its a 32 but program and can only utilize 4gb. but what if i up the cpu?

        thanks for the info
