Question

Creo 4 performance issues

We've recently migrated from Creo 3 to Creo 4 M060.  We have a mix of users with different hardware, but have noticed that average sized assemblies are now lagging in Creo 4, where they were fine in Creo 3.  By "lagging", I mean the screen now occasionally freezes up when reorienting/rotating the assembly. The screen will seize for approximately 30 seconds to several minutes.  These assemblies aren't all that large in terms of # of components or memory, but the problem is pretty consistent across users. 

 

Windows 7, Intel Core i7-6820HQ @ 2.7GHz, 24GB Ram, 64bit OS, NVIDIA Quadro M3000M

Always the first step is to test the graphic card/graphics driver using the config option 

Graphics win32_gdi

 

If the specific problem goes away, you probably need to update your graphics driver and remove the config option and retest.

First thing I tried.  Unfortunately, the problem still persists.

Have you tried to reproduce the problem using Windows 10 Operating System? Or have you tried updating the graphic driver on some of the machines (especially any hardware not supported for use with Creo 4)?

We're not on Windows 10 yet, but the upgrade is in the queue.  The hardware is supported, and we've checked that the drivers are the correct ones.  We're just living with it for the time being.
