Nvidia Quadro RTX is based on Nvidia’s new Turing architecture, which has been designed from the ground up for ray tracing and deep learning, a subset of Artificial Intelligence (AI). and higher multi-node training performance. GPU accelerated libraries such as cuDNN, cuBLAS, and TensorRT delivers While GPU rendering is a major play for the Nvidia RTX A4000 and Nvidia RTX A5000, real-time 3D using OpenGL, DirectX and (in the future) Vulkan continues to be a very important part of architectural visualisation, with applications including TwinMotion, Lumion, Enscape, Unreal Engine, LumenRT and others. Another potential use case for high-density multi-GPU is workstation virtualisation using GPU passthrough, where each user gets a dedicated GPU. Again, this workflow looks well suited to the Lenovo ThinkStation P620, which can be configured with up to 64 CPU cores and 2TB of memory.

Production Branch drivers are designed and tested to provide long-term stability and availability, making these drivers ideal for enterprise customers and other users who require application and hardware certification from ISVs and OEMs respectively. Hard drive retention: Hard drive retention is not available on models with a soldered hard drive, including XPS 9315 2in1, Chromebooks or Venue tablets, except the Venue 11 Pro.Like the Nvidia RTX A4000 it offers a significant upgrade in all areas of processing – CUDA, Tensor and RT cores. 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.

To find out, we set a render going in SolidWorks Visualize, then loaded up the colossal MaunaKea Spectroscopic Explorer telescope assembly in SolidWorks 2019 using the new OpenGL 4.5 beta graphics engine. When panning, zooming and rotating, everything felt really responsive, which wasn’t always the case with the Quadro P4000. Viewport performance did drop – from 41 FPS to 25 FPS but this didn’t impact our experience in any way. We upped the ante with Autodesk VRED, which demands even more from the GPU, but again everything felt fine. With AA set to ‘off’ it dropped from 35 FPS to 22 FPS and with medium AA from 21 FPS down to 14 FPS.

DisplayPort to VGA, DisplayPort to DVI (single-link and dual-link) and DisplayPort to HDMI cables (resolution support based on dongle specifications)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. It’s been just over two years since Nvidia introduced ‘Turing’ Nvidia Quadro RTX, its first pro GPUs with RTX hardware ray tracing.
