Workstation graphics card

The example list below is intended as a guideline.

Nvidia's various Quadro/GeForce models intended for CAD design product groups are released frequently.

For Vertex, the most important thing is the advantage of these Nvidia product group drivers, i.e. the DirectX interface support they contain works most reliably.


Desktops

  • Nvidia Quadro K1200/K2200/P1000/P2000/P4000 /RTX3000/RTX4000 -seriesNvidia Quadro K620/P600 (budget option)/T1000/T2000 /RTX and /RTX A series

Workstation processor

The example list below is intended as a guideline.

Today's processors have a large number of cores and they bring benefits in many situations.

In CAD use, most of the time you get the best benefit when you choose a processor with a high single-core max. clock frequency (Intel® Turbo Boost Technology).



Desktops

For example:

  • INTEL® Core™ i9-13900K 3.0GHz, 24 core, where maximum for one core 5.8 GHz (Intel® Turbo Boost Technology)
  • INTEL® Core™ i9-12900K 3.2GHz, 16 core, where maximum for one core 5.2 GHz (Intel® Turbo Boost Technology)
  • INTEL® Core™ i9-11900K 3.5GHz, 8 -cores, one core max. 5.3 core, where maximum for one core 5.3 GHz (Intel® Turbo Boost Technology)
  • INTEL® Core™ i7-13700K 3.4GHz, 16 core, where maximum for one core 5.4 GHz (Intel® Turbo Boost Technology)
  • INTEL® Core™ i7-11700K 3.6GHz, 8 - core, where maximum for one core max. 5.0 GHz (Intel® Turbo Boost Technology)
  • INTEL® Core™ i9-10900K 3.7GHz, 10 -corescore, where maximum for one core max. 5.3 GHz (Intel® Turbo Boost Technology)
  • INTEL® Core™ i7-10700K 3.8GHz, 8 -corescore, where maximum for one core max. 5.1 GHz (Intel® Turbo Boost Technology)
  • INTEL® Core™ i9-9900K 3.6GHz, 8 -corescore, where maximum for one core max. 5.0 GHz (Intel® Turbo Boost Technology)
  • INTEL® Core™ i7-8700K 3.7GHz, 6 -corescore, where maximum for one core max. 4.7 GHz (Intel® Turbo Boost Technology)
  • INTEL® Core™ i7-7700K 4.2GHz, 4 -corescore, where maximum for one core max. 4.5 4.5 GHz (Intel® Turbo Boost Technology)
  • INTEL® Core™ i5-13600K 3.5GHz, 14 core, where maximum for one core 5.1 GHz (Intel® Turbo Boost Technology)
  • INTEL® Core™ i5-11600K 3.9GHz, 6 - core, where maximum for one core max. 4.9 GHz (Intel® Turbo Boost Technology)

Laptops

For example:

  • INTEL® Core™ i9-12900H 2.5GHz, 14 core, where maximum for one core 5.0 GHz (Intel® Turbo Boost Technology)
  • INTEL® Core™ i9-11950H 2.5GHz6GHz, 8 -corescore, where maximum for one core max. 5.0 GHz (Intel® Turbo Boost Technology)

  • INTEL® Core™ i9-10885H 2.4GHz, 8 -corescore, where maximum for one core max. 5.3 GHz (Intel® Turbo Boost Technology)
  • INTEL® Core™ i7-10850H 2.7GHz, 6 -corescore, where maximum for one core max. 5.1 GHz (Intel® Turbo Boost Technology)
  • INTEL® Core™ i7-10750H 2.6GHz, 6 -corescore, where maximum for one core max.. 5.0 GHz (Intel® Turbo Boost Technology)
  • INTEL® Core™ i9-9880H 2.3GHz, 8 -corescore, where maximum for one core max. 4.8 GHz (Intel® Turbo Boost Technology)
  • INTEL® Core™ i7-9750H 2.6GHz, 6 -corescore, where maximum for one core max. 4.5 GHz (Intel® Turbo Boost Technology)
  • INTEL® Core™ i7-8850H 2.6GHz, 6 -corescore, where maximum for one core max. 4.3 GHz (Intel® Turbo Boost Technology)
