SketchUp 2018 Video Card

Paul Russam

GTX1070’s all come with 8Gb of memory so that’s an obvious bug in CheckUp.

IF you want to test your system then I suggest you try Passmark's performance test: https://www.passmark.com/products/pt.htm
You can then compare your scores (cpu, video card etc) against other cards here:

Thanks!

I'll give it a try.

I ran the uninstall/install and so far things are fine in the short time I had to play with my files.
FYI and for what its worth I ran the SKU check up before and after and i get the same message.

Thanks Paul Russam and everyone for your help. 'lll let you know if there are still problems later.

Philw,

I got the same report when I started having problems with my ASUS GTX Titan X. And it has 12GB of GDDR5.

It started running sluggishly after I updated my drivers. I've still not gotten it running correctly, but by turning off "profiles" in my styles tab, it's speed is acceptable again.

And while I know SU is CPU driven, IMHO without a decent graphics card, zooming and orbiting becomes rather tedious.

"GPUs won't improve SketchUp performance"

I have found out that it does make a difference and the changes help to improve my computers performance;

It's not a new thing. It's been happening for the last couple of versions or so. I get it periodically when I try to save after exporting to KT. I just save before sending. Currently no fix that I've heard about. When it occurs the file does get saved with the 0 appended. Annoying but at least no work is lost.

... which should be posted in a new thread.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 vs. Nvidia Quadro M2000

additionally, a Quadro M2000 is much slower than a GTX 1070... don't buy.

If you need more performance invest in a high-clocked CPU and don't use high-poly components during modeling, i.e. move to a dedicated layer and switch off or do use proxy components during modeling which can be swapped to the full-blown components when modeling is finished:

Dave R,
Thank you for the clarification of the “-0” file. This has been a new issues for me since moving to 2018 version. I hope they fix it soon its annoying, so I need to now throw out the original file and remove the “-0” file to get back the original name?

Its like the message “Not responding” instead of something like “this program is work on it’” and seeing a little hour glass spin around and round on my screen…that way I know it’s doing something other than crashing.

sketch3d.de,
You are right, this should have been a new thread.
I’m just frustrated that I can’t install what I have purchased and have it work,( like it use to be) without having to figure out that things have changed and I should just know about them, like picking running as an administrator (when did that happen?). But that another topic too.

sorry just venting...
