I have a piece of software that I use on a few different computers, but I can't find a clear hardware component that makes the program run better. The software is essentially a CAD slicing program for a higher end 3D Printer.
I've run it on my personal $1200 2016 gaming desktop, a $3-4000 2016 Dell workstation, and an older (~2014?) laptop.
My gaming desktop typically is much faster than the other two, but the difference between the ~1yr old desktop and a 3-4 year old laptop is much smaller than I would expect. For example, slicing the same file would take my computer maybe 5 minutes, then 10-15 on the workstation and 15-20 on the laptop.
So is there any software or other way to determine what is the bottleneck for the workstation that my gaming system doesn't have? I want to have something better than 'I assume it needs a faster CPU'. When I go to the purchasing department. Ideally something similar to what I've seen several games use where it runs in the background and will give you a printout at the end that says how much CPU, GPU, RAM, etc it used during the process.
I've tried searching Google and this forum, but no creative use of quotation marks has gotten me anything other than basic hardware benchmarking software.
Thanks in advance!
