With each release, more and more aspects of Mastercam are becoming multi-core processor aware. Toolpath calculation and Simulation will generally run faster with a multi-core processor. When Mastercam uses all available RAM, it switches to using virtual memory space, which is stored on the hard drive, and will dramatically slow the system down. We recommend a minimum of 8 GB memory. When purchasing a new computer for Mastercam, one of the most important component is the video card.
Other graphics cards can be used, but they must offer full OpenGL 3. OpenCL is required for Mastercam to be able to hand off certain computation tasks to the graphics card to increase system performance. We do not recommend or support the use of onboard graphics found with some PC configurations.
These do not generally have the capability to drive graphics intensive applications such as Mastercam. Make sure you are using up-to-date drivers from your card manufacturer. We often see issues that are resolved with updated video drivers.
The driver version can have a great impact on how the card performs. We recommend using the automatic detect feature to detect which video card is installed. More information on configuring the graphics card can be found at this Mastercam knowledge base article. The majority of our internal systems utilize dual monitors and we find this to be more productive. A second monitor allows applications such as Mastercam Simulator, Code Expert, Tool Manager and other applications to run on the secondary monitor while Mastercam utilizes the primary monitor.
Mastercam will run on lower resolution screens but beware of potential sizing issues with larger dialog boxes and panels which may be awkward to work with. Lower resolution monitors may work fine as a second monitor in a dual screen setup. Mastercam will run on large format displays, including 4K monitors and high-DPI devices however, we do some display issues with these configurations. These drives are now priced at a point which makes them a good investment.
