What hardware should be upgraded in order to run smoothly for a drawing of 970,000mm x 790,000mm

What hardware should be upgraded in order to run smoothly for a drawing of 970,000mm x 790,000mm?

I am using i7-11700 CPU, 32GB RAM, M2 SSD, and RTX 2060 for my computer. But it still runs slowly when I am working on just 1 drawing of the above dimension.

The CPU is running at 3-4% and ram is running at 17%, harddisk at 2% and the GPU at 1%. It seems that the computer is not running at its full capacity.

I know that block and layer have great influence when i review and amend the drawing. But i can not delete or amend them as they are set up by other parties. So how can i upgrade my computer? Have a ram with lower CL valve? Or any other suggestion?

@Chubb-1 ,

Welcome to the AutoCAD forum!

Provide an image of your ABOUT information [type ABOUT at the command line].

The hardware seems fine - you can double check from the System requirements & Certified Graphics.

I suggest you go thru these links:

Sadly, you as an end user never get to tell AutoCAD to use all of your PC resources, that's out of your control @Chubb-1

If you wish to be more specific and elaborate, plus share your actual DWG file here, there are probably more attainable fixes you can implement today instead.

Sorry, I cannot provide the DWG document as it is the property of the company. But anyway, thank you for your reply.
