 Topic: Civil 3D Running really slowPosted: 11.Mar.2014 at 00:57 |

Hey,
I'm Runing C3D 2014, It's just started running really slowly.. It takes me nearly an hour to create a quick profile from a polyline. Any suggestions on settings or do I have a bad install.. I`m sure my computer can handle this.
Alienware MX17 Intel(R) Core i7-4930MX CPU at 3.00 GHZ 16.00 GB Ram Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit Ge Force GTX 780M Graphics card with 4.0 GB RAM
When I open task manager it only shows my 4.2GB of RAM Being used while processing which doesn`t make sense because it takes flipping forever to load anything!! Any Help is appreciated! |

Unfortunately your graphics card is not certified (not supported) in AutoCAD 2014 so you are running without hardware acceleration. See:
Try to manually switch on graphics acceleration (3DCONFIG).

You can also try the TURBO utility - see Download and Tips.

I guess it doesn't matter, sir. One hour to create a simple profile is really too much, so I bet the OP has an hard disk issue (highly defragmented, no free space for TEMP files, and so on), or a network one (dead mapped drives, for instance).

The certification itself maybe doesn't matter but the resulting disabled hardware acceleration does matter a lot. With 16 gigs of RAM, I think AutoCAD doesn't need too many hard disk read/writes. The TURBO utility would show of it is only a problem of AutoCAD configuration settings or a system problem.
