Latest review from a very happy customer - "Hi Brett, this computer is actually going really brilliantly, the 3D performance, animations and rendering is very fast, smooth and precise. Inventor, AutoCAD, 3DS Max and Photoshop all run at the same time over 2 x 32” monitors without any issues, the over priced Dell computer we had built only a year ago couldn’t even do that, and to upgrade it would have cost us $3000 just for a subpar CPU. I will be recommending all our CAD computers get supplied by you over the coming years." ( i9 CPU, P4000, 32GB RAM) (July 2019) (Rob from Thornton, NSW)

CAD PC with P4000

Want to buy a CAD PC with nVidia GeForce graphics card? The nVidia GeForce GTX 1660 has 1408 CUDA Cores. If your CAD application relies on CUDA cores to maximise the performance of your CAD software then consider a nVidia GeForce Graphics card.

Some CAD applications use the CUDA cores on the graphics card to process or render. If you are using one of these CAD applications then the nVidia GeForce RTX 2070 has 2304 CUDA cores and will be ideal for your CAD applications.

RTX2070 - NVIDIA® GeForce RTX 2070 delivers great rendering experience. Powered by the new NVIDIA Turing™ GPU architecture and the revolutionary RTX platform, RTX 2070 graphics cards bring together real-time ray tracing, artificial intelligence, and programmable shading. This is a whole new way to experience games.

Ray tracing is the holy grail of gaming graphics, simulating the physical behaviour of light to bring real-time, cinematic-quality rendering to even the most visually intense images like never before.

Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) is new RTX technology that uses the power of deep learning and AI to train the GPU to render crisp images, while running up to 2x faster than previous generation GPUs using conventional anti-aliasing techniques.

GeForce® RTX 2070 graphics cards are powered by the Turing GPU architecture and the all-new RTX platform. This gives you up to 6X the performance of previous-generation graphics cards and brings the power of real-time ray tracing and AI to games.

The revolutionary NVIDIA Turing™ architecture, combined with our all new GeForce RTX 2070 platform, fuses together real-time ray tracing, artificial intelligence, and programmable shading to give you a whole new way to experience games.

Ray tracing is the definitive solution for lifelike lighting, reflections, and shadows, offering a level of realism far beyond what’s possible using traditional rendering techniques. Turing is the first GPU capable of real-time ray tracing.

Nobody relies on just one application over the course of a day; we're all bouncing between disparate tasks and windows. But for the majority of CAD professionals, there is one application that dominates your day. It might be SolidWorks or AutoCAD, Inventor, CATIA, or Solid Edge.

Once you've identified that app, head to the web to find its suggested minimum hardware requirements. Now, don't settle on these baseline numbers and think you're going to be happy. In most cases, minimum requirements set an extremely low bar. SolidWorks (as of this writing) specifies a minimum of 1 GB RAM, but suggests 6 GB. Well, even 6 GB isn't necessarily the best choice, depending on your budget, and especially given the amazing amount of memory that can be had for not a lot of dollars.

Not only do you need to consider which CAD application you use most, but also how. Factors that call for more than the average specs for RAM and/or graphics horsepower include working with large assemblies and complex parts (such as plant and routing design), rendering, and running first-pass finite-element and kinematic analyses.

More Information on buying a CAD PC

Tailor Your Choice of CPU for CAD

The dominant thrust in CPU architecture has shifted away from accelerating single-threaded processors and toward developing parallel processing, with the latest professional CPUs moving from dual-core to quad-core and now hex-core processors. Multicore CPU approaches have proved a great avenue to gain theoretical speed-ups, but when it comes to modeling with most mechanical CAD packages, including AutoCAD, Inventor, Enscape, SolidWorks, and Solid Edge, you won't benefit much from multiple cores, as those applications are not yet optimized for multicore processing. On the other hand, engineering simulation and rendering — whether performed discretely or via a renderer embedded in one of the aforementioned design packages — do tend to utilize multiple processing cores. If that’s the case for your primary rendering engine and if you spend significant time on these tasks, you’ll want to consider shifting more of your budget toward a good graphics card that can handle the workload.

Tap GPU Power for Speedups Across the 3D Modeling Workflow

Perhaps more importantly in today’s 3D environment, you'll want to pay closer attention to the GPU you're choosing to power your MCAD, rendering, and simulation applications. Today's GPUs bear little resemblance to the graphics controllers of old. Forget old-school wireframes and primitive solid models with smooth-shaded sides. Professional graphics cards offer the ability to realistically display parts and models and keep your viewports fluid even when working with complex projects. But graphics are only the beginning of what these new GPUs can tackle. These engines also offer a whole lot more processing horsepower — work that has always tended to bog down CAD pros.

First and foremost, with the right GPU in place, you’ll notice remarkable performance in terms of how your 3D software responds to panning, rotating, zooming, generating animations, and all those other tasks that push the limits of a lesser processor. Such a fundamental improvement in how you interact with your software can bring about dramatic gains in productivity and overall user satisfaction.

The latest GPUs are also rendering raster-based images in real-time that rival anything off-line Hollywood render farms could manage just a few years ago. But more than that, GPUs have broken through all the preconceived limits we'd previously set for them, taking on processing that traditionally was left to the CPU. That means CAD professionals can now leverage their investment in graphics hardware to achieve far more than anything yesterday's graphics cards could have ever hoped to achieve.

Accordingly, you're going to want to spend at least as much time considering your choice of GPU, and quite possibly a bigger portion of your budget as well. Which GPU should today's CAD pros choose? Well, most buyers will want to match the performance and capabilities of the GPU with the rest of the system — that is, an entry-caliber card for an entry-caliber workstation. Good balance, where each component hits a performance level that is supported by the rest of the system, is the best way to maximize ROI for your workstation purchase.

GPU Computing. Your questions about selecting a GPU should no longer be limited solely to which GPU, but also how many, thanks to GPU computing. Virtually every corner of the MCAD world utilizes the same basic workflow: design, revise, analyze, then iterate. Two common components in this iterative workflow, finite-element analysis (FEA) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD), employ algorithms that rely on heaps of floating-point arithmetic and can be run in parallel to gain significant increase in throughput. It's a similar story for raytraced rendering, a technique that is so fundamentally different from conventional raster-based rendering that it more naturally falls under the category of GPU computing than graphics. Images rendered by a raytracer immediately catch the eye, making it one of the most sought-after visual tools for product styling. With NVIDIA's GPU compute–enabled iray, a rendering engine found in popular software such as Autodesk 3ds Max, Bunkspeed Shot, and CATIA v6, designers are seeing visualization times shrink from hours to minutes. With that speed, designers can leverage raytracing earlier and more frequently in the development process, fine-tuning designs based on photorealistic feedback.
