Should I bother changing out the machine? It does slow down at times. Basic: 1 GB GPU with 29 GB/s Bandwidth and DirectX 11 compliant. High Resolution & 4K Displays: Resolutions up to 3840 x 2160 supported on Windows 10, 64-bit systems (with capable display card) Display Card.

I have an assembly with less than 500 unique parts but more than 5000 occurrences. Conventional Displays: 1920 x 1080 with True Color. "less than 500 part assemblies". Does this mean 500 unique parts or 500 parts, total occurrence.? I understand more memory and/or power is always better, and going with the recommended system requirements is a no brainer vs the minimum. What I am trying to understand is how Autodesk is wording the requirements. TLDR: Ram is cheap, 16-32 GB seems like a good place to start. My work machine has 32 GB and it is more than enough for the 10-15k (1-3k unique) total occurrence assemblies that I create. I need to max it out at 8 GB (all the motherboard/chipset can fit). Inventor is ok, but add Windows overhead, a few Internet Browsers, Spreadsheets, PDFs and other programs running at the same time and switching between them becomes painful.


My home machine(Win7, old i5 processor, integrated graphics) has 4 GB and it is not enough for anything other than trivial assemblies.
