Comfortable work in Fusion 360 (parameters of PC/MAC)

[Dmytro.Mukhin]

Hi all,

At our Russian board about Fusion we discuss (http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-360-russkiy/minimalnye-trebovaniya-k-kompyuteru-dlya-raboty-s-f...) about PC parameters for comfortable work in Fusion 360.

We know about System requirements for Autodesk Fusion 360. 

@Anonymous wrote that he have PC:

Intel Core I7-4700 2.4GHz; 8 GB RAM, 1 GB VRAM NVIDIA; SSD for System and software, high speed internet... but Fusion work with freeze and very slow especially with drawings normal quality.

From my side I work at laptop: Intel Core i3 2310m (2.1 Ghz); 8 GB RAM; Nvidia GeForce GT 525m 1 GB VRAM; SSD Kingston 120 GB and Ethernet 100 mbps. Windows 10 Pro.

Fusion 360 is work normal with small assemblies (about 10 simple components) and work slow (with freeze ) with normal assemblies (more than 10 components. And work very very slow with more than 20 components like this (from our contest "New Year with Fusion 360"):

I am wrote about settings for "Graphics" in "Preferences", but this in did not help us.

@brianrepp, can you help?

Which parameters of PC or MAC and settings of Fusion 360 will be able for comfortable work in Fusion 360 with normal level of assemblies and drawings?
Which parameters of your PC/MAC?

Hi @Dmytro.Mukhin - the i7 machine you mention should be acceptable, with the limiting factors being the ram and video card.  The i3 machine is going to be pretty painful for trying to run Fusion though for anything with complexity, no matter what the settings. Here is a good article with suggestions for settings to improve performance.
