      Background:

      I'm an Architect/ graphic designer who works for a medium sized firm (80 people) and currently I handle most of the rendering, presentation, and marketing work.

      I recently was upgraded to a new computer and it's killing me. Basically instead of buying me a BOXX which is the standard for the rest of the graphic's guys they gave me our rendering station which works amazing for Vray renderings but for some reason the real time performance is awful. Here are the Specs:

      Dell Precision T5500
      Intel Xeon CPU x 2 - E545 @ 2.40 GHz (2 processors - 12 cores total)
      24 GB of RAM
      Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
      NVISA Quadro K2000D

      What happens is even though this computer is spec'd out to be a monster and does Vray renderings faster then anything I've ever seen, its extremely slow when working in programs. In particular using any of the Adobe suite, Revit, or Sketchup is an absolutely nightmare. Its super laggy and freezes all the time. Also when working in Sketchup pieces of the model that are components disappear as you orbit around even with hardware acceleration on. This is not model clipping, the components in the model just disappear Indesign is super laggy when trying to scroll or zoom even while not in presentation mode.

      The Core Issue is that even though this computer has such great specs it has issues with live processing sketchup models even with the shadows off. With it on its takes about 2 minutes to orbit over even the slightest bit. I was wondering if you guys knew what could possibly be going wrong with sketchup or the computer itself.

        SketchUp > Preferences > OpenGL
        Tinker with the various permutations and see it that improves it 😕
