With RTX PRO Blackwell cards now available, we tested workstation GPUs from AMD, Intel, and NVIDIA to see how they perform in engineering applications.
Engineering CPU Performance: AMD Ryzen 9000 vs Intel Core Ultra 2
We explore how the latest AMD Ryzen and Intel Core Ultra desktop CPUs perform in SOLIDWORKS, Inventor, and Revit.
Intel Arc Pro B50 Review
How does Intel’s new entry-level professional Arc Pro B50 GPU compare to the NVIDIA RTX A1000 in professional media editing, AI, and CAD/BIM applications?
SOLIDWORKS 2020 SP5 AMD Ryzen 5000 Series CPU Performance
AMD’s Ryzen 5000 Series processors have shown stellar performance across a wide range of applications so far, and now we have the opportunity to test them head-to-head against Intel’s Core series in SOLIDWORKS 2020.
Best Workstation PC for SOLIDWORKS (Summer 2020)
A short article covering some of the best computer system configurations for design in SOLIDWORKS.
SOLIDWORKS 2020 SP1 Intel Core 10th Gen CPU Performance
Intel recently updated their mainstream Core processor series, and since we had tested SOLIDWORKS 2020 SP1 pretty recently we thought it would be good to run these new CPUs through the same testing to see how they compare with other Intel and AMD models.
SOLIDWORKS 2020 SP1 CPU Performance
With the recent release of SOLIDWORKS 2020’s first service pack, as well as multiple new CPU launches from Intel and AMD in the past few months, we thought it would be a good time to do a roundup of processor performance in modeling, rendering, and simulations within SOLIDWORKS.
SOLIDWORKS 2020 SP1 GPU Performance
With the recent release of SOLIDWORKS 2020’s first service pack, we thought it would be a good time to do a roundup of NVIDIA Quadro video card performance with regards to modeling in SOLIDWORKS.
SOLIDWORKS 2019 SP3: AMD Ryzen 3 vs Intel 9th Gen Core
AMD recently launched an updated generation of their mainstream Ryzen processors, with increases to both core count and clock speed / per-core performance. We’ve already tested these chips on a wide range of applications, and now it is time to look at how they handle a professional engineering program: SOLIDWORKS.
SOLIDWORKS 2019: Quadro RTX Series in Enhanced Graphics Performance Mode
Despite how popular SOLIDWORKS is, there is a lot of outdated and simply inaccurate information on the web regarding what video card you should use. This is especially true for SW 2019, because it adds a new mode that changes how the video card is utilized when displaying parts and assemblies. This feature is still in beta, and not yet ready for production use, but we rounded up the full Quadro RTX line of video cards to see how they perform at both 1080p and 4K resolutions.
