I have a Dell Inspiron 15 7548 i7 with Intel HD Graphics 5500 and AMD Radeon R7 M270 Graphics.
This machine is used for my Design Consultancy, I don't require gaming speeds. Neither do I actually work with Solidworks to create drawings. But I do receive them and need to conduct quick reviews and annotate with feedback.
I'm currently finding my current set up a little jerky and slow to respond.
It works acceptably well with Sketchup; Photoshop, but also struggles with high res Acrobat documents with multiple layers.
Any advice welcome. Maybe a good better best recommendation would help as I really don't know what to expect in terms of budget. If either are a soldered device I'll leave it, but if it is something that can be swapped out, that info would also be helpful.
I've read some of the forum content on graphics cards. But I.T. is the dark arts to be quite honest. I'm not a complete technophobe, but really don't know where to start with the following...
I'd like to improve the speed when working with Solidworks files. Any ideas if this is possible?
Cheers
Mark
