The Quadro RTX 4000 is complete overkill for most 3D CAD applications including Solidworks, which tend to be CPU limited and often work just as well with an entry-level or mid-range GPU like the Quadro P1000 or P2000.

Release 410 is an ‘Optimal Drivers for Enterprise’ (ODE) branch release. ODE branches are dedicated to long term stability, suitable for use by Independent Software Vendor (ISV) certifications, Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM), and Enterprise customers.Turing Tensor Cores for 57 teraflops of deep learning performance — accelerate neural network training and inference, which are critical to powering AI-enhanced rendering, products and services. The RTX 4000 delivered its 100 pass render in a mere 35 seconds. But it took 500 passes to really see its true potential over the previous generation GPUs. It completed that job in just over half the time it took the Quadro P4000 and just under a third of the time it took the Quadro M4000. Adding a second Quadro RTX 4000 to the same workstation also cut the render time in two. We didn’t test the AMD Radeon Pro WX 8200 as it does not currently work with Solidworks Visualize. However, this could change in the future, as AMD recently demonstrated a technology preview of Solidworks Visualize accelerated on Radeon Pro GPUs. Quadro GV100, Quadro GP100, Quadro P6000, Quadro P5200, Quadro P5000, Quadro P4000, Quadro P2200, Quadro P2000, Quadro P1000, Quadro P620, Quadro P600, Quadro P400, Quadro M6000 24GB, Quadro M6000, Quadro M5000, Quadro M4000, Quadro M2000, Quadro K2200, Quadro K1200, Quadro K620 Both cards offer more memory than their consumer GeForce counterparts, are standard issue in workstations from Dell, HP and Lenovo, and come with pro drivers with ISV certification for a wide range of CAD/BIM applications.

UPDATE: 25 March 2022. Nvidia recently launched the Nvidia RTX A4500 and RTX A5500 to held boost supply of its high-end pro workstation GPUs. Read our review of the Nvidia RTX A4500 To see how this impacted performance we turned on the denoiser then rendered the same scene with 10 passes at fast quality and 50 & 200 at accurate quality. This threw up some interesting results. When the scene was rendered with 10 passes, the RTX 4000 took nearly twice as long as the P4000 (23 secs compared to 12 secs). Of course, the Nvidia RTX A6000 is complete overkill for most architects or product designers who simply want a capable GPU for real-time visualisation, GPU rendering or VR. And it’s here that the new Nvidia RTX A4000 and Nvidia RTX A5000 come into play.So where does this leave us? At the moment, anyone investing in a Quadro RTX GPU can only use it in the same way they have used previous Quadro GPUs – just using its CUDA cores. Enscape is a real-time viz and VR tool for architects that uses OpenGL and delivers very high-quality graphics in the viewport. Enscape has used elements of ray tracing in its software for some time. Version 3.0 is RTX-enabled, so full ray tracing can be toggled on and off. Later versions will use the more modern Vulkan API and support ray tracing on both Nvidia and AMD GPUs. The Nvidia Quadro RTX 4000 delivered its 100 pass render in a mere 35 seconds. But it took 500 passes to really see its true potential over the previous generation GPUs.

Our designers need tools that unleash their creative freedom to design amazing buildings. Real-time rendering with the new Quadro RTX 4000 is unbelievably fast and smooth right out of the gate — no latency and the quality and accuracy of the lighting is outstanding. It will enable us to accelerate our workflow and let our designers focus on the design process without the technology slowing them down.” See the Quadro RTX 4000 at Autodesk University Multi-GPU Mosaic][Quadro Sync]: Application corruption and possible blue-screen crash occurs when enabling WARP while Mosaic and Quadro Sync are enabled.

The embedded OpenCL Just-In-Time compiler will offer an opt-in version utilizing CLANG 7.0 and NVVM 7.0 components, providing support for 16-bit floating point and 128-bit integer data types.This week at Autodesk University, NVIDIA is in booth C1201 demonstrating the powerful new capabilities of Quadro RTX GPUs. Designers, engineers and artists can interact in real time with their complex designs and visual effects in ray-traced photo-realistic detail and realize increased throughput with their rendering workloads for significant time and cost savings. However, with the new OpenGL 4.5 beta graphics engine, which should make its way into SolidWorks proper by the 2020 release, the Quadro RTX 4000 delivered a phenomenal 58 FPS at 4K resolution with RealView, shadows and Ambient Occlusion enabled.

DisplayPort 1.4 is standard across all four Quadro RTX GPUs. Also included is VirtualLink, a new open standard that can deliver power, display and data for next generation VR headsets through a single USB Type-C connector. Quadro RTX 4000 We’re working with NVIDIA at Autodesk University to showcase how Autodesk Revit, powered by NVIDIA Turing’s RTX platform, can bring the power of real-time photorealistic rendering to enable millions of designers and architects to create and visualize content in a new way,” said Nicolas Mangon, vice president of AEC strategy and marketing at Autodesk. “By reviewing models in an immersive context, teams can collaborate and interact with their data for real-time problem solving.” OEM Support The name of this GPU-accelerated physically based renderer is a bit misleading as it works with many more applications than the CAD application of the same name. It can import models from Creo, Solid Edge, Catia and Inventor, as well as several neutral formats.To test the Quadro RTX 4000 we compared it to the Quadro M4000, P4000 and P5000, as well as the AMD Radeon Pro WX 8200, which has a similar price point. The Quadro RTX 4000 will be available starting December on nvidia.com and from leading workstation manufacturers, including Dell, HPI and Lenovo, and authorized distribution partners, including PNY Technologies in North America and Europe, ELSA/Ryoyo in Japan, and Leadtek and Ingram in Asia Pacific.
