Dear CAD HELP CENTER
readers in the starting of new year we have shared a new installation guide for latest version of
SolidWorks 2014 SP1.0 x64 bit in Windows 7 SP1 x64 bit. now after installation we will see how fast or better is the latest version SolidWorks 2014.
To see the performance of latest version of SolidWorks we need to do a performance test of SolidWorks and then compare it with others. Like all we know SolidWorks has their own Performance Benchmark Test utility. We can compare the performance in term of Software or Hardware. As of now I had done a performance Benchmark test of SolidWorks 2011 and SolidWorks 2014 both in Windows 7 SP1 x64 bit.
Before further discussion here are the configuration of my PC for reference on which both test are performed.
As we can see in above images their is a major overhaul or increase in performance from SolidWorks 2011 to SolidWorks 2014. The Overall time taken by the SolidWorks 2014 is only 140 seconds as compare to 506.1 seconds in SolidWorks 2011. The overall performance is increase by 3.615 times in SolidWorks 2014. The Graphics performance is increase by 1.912 times in SolidWorks 2014. The Processor performance is increase by 4.712 times in SolidWorks 2014. The input/output performance is increase by 6.472 times in SolidWorks 2014.
Here we can see that the maximum time is taken by the graphics (71.6 seconds), as I had performed the test with the Intel embedded graphics which are inbuilt with Intel i5-2400 CPU.
So if someone want to improve the performance then you can use a dedicated graphics card or else use alternate CPU from Intel which are having more graphics memory. This will also improve your Processing and Input/Output performance.
In the coming days we will compare the performance of SolidWorks 2014 with SolidWorks 2013 on different hardware's or machines, so stay tuned.
Have a nice day.

- Mother Board : Intel DH67BL (with latest Drivers)
- Processor : Intel i5-2400 CPU @3.1 GHz, 4 Core(s)
- RAM : 4GB
- Hard Disk : 500 GB
- OS : Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 x64 Bit.
- Anti Virus : AVG Internet Security 2014
