Why cadence graphic render so slow in windows 7

andri26

 hello averyone,

i am cadence user, i use windows 7 platform on my computer, running cadence 16.3 on my office. i really wonder why its so so slow when i use smooth dynamic fill where my computer friend can run it really smooth in windows XP (his computer spec is lower than mine). what should i do? thanks fo your help

 

my computer spec :

OS : windows 7 enterprise 32 bit

proc : intel quad core Q8400

RAM : DDR2 4 GB

HDD : 320 GB

VGA :  Nvidia quadro FX1800

  • Go to the graphics vendor's web site, in this case NVidia, and download and install their latest driver for Windows 7 32bit based on your graphics card. In most cases, you will find that this will resolve graphics performance and stability issues.

    Won't help.  It's plain slower.  Tested it on a slew of Win7 machines.  Less capable XP machines run circles around the graphics.
    Had to go back and load XP...

    Now if you're not a speed demon like me you might not notice but my brain hurt on Cadence on Win7

  • I would try to set the graphics to 16bit instead of 32bit.

    If the render is still slow, disable open GL for now in allegro's user preferences.

    I have no problems with Windows 7 x64 on my laptop.

     

    Your cpu was made for 64bit, so I recommend installing windows 7 x64, add a minimum of 8GB of RAM.

     

    Best,

  •  I have tried to disable opengl and i thinked it work (a little) LOL..

     

    in my office, the OS is set for 32 bit only, because another management syste, like email, PLM etc is based on that 32 bit stuff..

    so i should follow the rule, or other way i cant access my work email ^^

     

    thanks for your help guys

    i still wanna find another trick to boost cadence render performance..

     

  •  i take back my word..

    it was unuseful just disable opengl..

    i think i go back to win XP :(
