Just happened to notice your question. We have several seats for UG NX. Our previous systems were fairly dated (mostly single core, 1-2 GB RAM, 3-5 year old processors). We wanted to make a major jump in technology but still be economical. We really are liking the HP gaming machines you were...
Update on my original post. We purchased what essentially was an HP gaming machine. i7-975 processor with 18 GB RAM, 1 GBS network card, with 1.8 GB NV 260 gaming graphics card. From a pure specs standpoint, most of this system is 8-10 times the system we used before. We are quite happy with...
We are in the process of upgrading our UG systems. We've bought a new system that will arrive next week. In the next year we will buy several more systems so with this first system we are going to try a few things. It's coming with a Nvidia GF 260 card with about 1.8 GB RAM. I want to see...
Has anyone used the new ATI HD 5870 gaming card with UG yet? Not sure if the Direct X 11 helps on UG yet or not. But, the combination of the price (< $400) and hardware specs make it pretty tempting looking to me. The cards also support 3 monitors. I'd like to know if anyone is using this card...
We have limited MIS support, and I prefer to not buy equipment that requires a large amount of support so the point that we may need less support is something that I'll value.
I'm a little confused over how much configuration of a graphics card is done typically on UG systems. I don't use UG...
I've read the postings on the graphics cards. To summarize the Nvidia 1800 750 MB has been recommended as a very good value, ATI 5700 512 MB looks like a pretty strong entry. I'm concerned about the validity of the UG benchmarks as if I am understanding it correctly the benchmark ran on NX1...
We use two monitors and I agree it's an easy decision. Can you have UG use both monitors at the same time? From what I can tell, we can do this only if we open up a second UG session which we don't have the horsepower to do. What I would like is to be able to have UG models on two large...
Similar to my other thread but with a little different focus. I'd like to hear from UG NX users that have gotten new systems in 2009 that they really think are top end. How much memory, type of processors, graphics cards and monitors? What would you have changed? If you could have gotten the...
I'd be interested to get some confirmation from anyone in the UGS team. When I look back at our hardware purchases it seems to me that we consistantly buy hardwdare for last year's software and we are amazed that when it's 2 years old that it is performing poorly.
I basically injected myself...
I'm evaluating the cost of upgrading our various UG/NX work stations. I'd like to get in the mode where I buy a pretty decent workstation about every 6 months. Currently we have several running 4-5 year old machines running Windows XP with 3 to 4 GB ram. Historically we've always tried to get...
