Xeon CPU and NVidia Quadro screencard.

[thj]

Dear members,

in a dell 650 workstation i have twin Xeon CPUs and NVidia Quadro screencard installed. Supposed to give good to excellent performance, however the rendering speed is extremely slow. The computer runs very slow compared to much less powerful configurations.

There is no system faults ( multiple thread is active )and no hardware conflicts. ( no viruses on system ). in addition installed apps, and utils is kept to a minimum.

Further, the system accepts surprisingly low amount of polygons.

One friend told me that there could be problems with speed due to the construction layout of the Xeon cpu in combination with NVidias screencard on Dell computers. Do the forum members have any experience / information about this?

What to do to solve this speed problem? Any advice is appreceiated.

thj,.

First, I would make sure you have the latest drivers installed for your videocard, no generic Windows drivers. Also, how much ram does your workstation have? I hope at least 2 gigs... Is this a brand-new unit or has it been running for a while? the reason I ask is you may be long overdue for a hard drive defrag.

I'm running a Dell 670 at work with a single 3.4GHz Xeon processor, 2 Gb ram, and an nVidia Quadro FX 4500; it runs pretty dang fast. I doubt there are any compatibilty problems between Intel Xeon CPUs and nVidia video cards.

Hello thj,

Thank you for sharing your experience with the Xeon CPU and NVidia Quadro screencard on your Dell 650 workstation. It is unfortunate to hear that you are facing slow rendering speed and overall slow performance despite having a powerful configuration.

Based on your description, it seems like you have already checked for any system faults and hardware conflicts, as well as keeping your installed apps and utilities to a minimum. It is also good to know that there are no viruses on your system.

Regarding your friend's suggestion about potential problems with the Xeon CPU and NVidia Quadro screencard on Dell computers, I would recommend doing some research and checking if there have been any reported issues with this particular combination. It may also be helpful to reach out to Dell's customer support for further assistance.

In terms of improving your system's speed, there are a few things you can try. First, make sure that your drivers for both the Xeon CPU and NVidia Quadro screencard are up to date. You can also try adjusting the settings for your graphics card to optimize performance. Additionally, make sure that your workstation has enough RAM and storage space to handle the tasks you are trying to perform.

If none of these solutions work, it may be worth considering upgrading your components or seeking professional help to diagnose and resolve the issue. I hope this helps and I wish you the best of luck in finding a solution to your speed problem. Take care.
