Why is SolidWorks slow?

Iron

I wanted to see what kind of beast SW2017. But even an empty sheet slows down, I'm not talking about drawing at least one element.

Answer 1

And what does his native diagnostic software think? Is everything checked by iron?
Well, there is some subtlety with N-vidia drivers, of course. You need to look for certified ones, if they are on this card, or select the most suitable one by typing.
I once installed a beta driver from the official N-vidia website on a Quadro K620 (i5 6400, 16Gb DDR4) and caught crazy friezes, inoperable RealView and all sorts of glitches. I climbed into the section of certified firewood, rolled back to them (they are always several versions lower) and everything became fine.
