![]() ![]() In some cases, they will not increase at all. As a result, no matter how much graphics processing power you throw at a 3D CAD model, frame rates will only increase by a relatively small amount. This happens when the CPU becomes the bottleneck and is not able to keep up with the graphics card. Applications including Autodesk Revit, Autodesk Inventor, Graphisoft Archicad and others, are largely CPU limited. ![]() Click image to readĪ huge part of the entry-level pro graphics market is for workstations that run 3D CAD and Building Information Modelling (BIM) software. Over 40 pages of dedicated workstation reviews, features and coverage. And as Intel eases its way into discrete graphics with the first products from its ‘Alchemist’ GPU architecture it makes perfect sense to address this volume market. But with the launch of the Intel Arc Pro A-series two players have now become three.Ĭompetition is always good, and with Intel’s first-generation pro GPUs - the Intel Arc Pro A40 (6 GB) and Intel Arc Pro A50 (6 GB) - the battle is at the entry-level. ![]() But do these entry-level workstation GPUs have enough to upset the apple cart? Greg Corke explores in this exclusive reviewįor years, AMD and Nvidia have been the only manufacturers of discrete workstation GPUs – by which we mean graphics cards that plug into a workstation motherboard and are not built into the CPU. Intel’s long awaited discrete pro graphics cards, the Arc Pro A40 and A50, have finally arrived, targeting CAD and BIM workflows. ![]()
