Thinking about upgrading your hardware for SOLIDWORKS? This video explains when to upgrade and which components matter most. We compare old and new systems across real-world tasks, showing performance gains of 30–40% for CPUs, faster assembly opens, and huge improvements in simulation and rendering. Learn why turbo speed and core balance are key for processors, why SSD storage and sufficient RAM (32GB or more) are essential, and how NVIDIA professional graphics cards deliver smoother performance and quicker renders. If you want the best setup for CAD, simulation, and Visualize workflows, this guide will help you choose wisely.
