The SolidWorks 2013 benchmark provides an overall score based on six different graphics states. However, it’s probably most useful to focus on three of these display states: RealView disabled, There are five new products in total – the Quadro K420, K620, K2200, K4200 and K5200 – all of which should be appearing in workstations in the September timeframe. 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 K6000, Quadro K5200, Quadro K5000, Quadro K4000, Quadro K4200, Quadro K2200, Quadro K2000, Quadro K2000D, Quadro K1200, Quadro K620, Quadro K600, Quadro K420, Quadro 410 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

The other big leap in memory comes from the Quadro K5200, which boasts a substantial 8GB – double that of the K5000. This could be important for high-end design viz users who may have previously had to fork out for a significantly more expensive K6000. 8GB should also be a good amount for very complex ray trace renders. Quadro K2200][Bunkspeed Shot 2014]: Render Argument exception occurs in Accurate Mode, and Internal Rendering Error occurs with Fast Mode. This is the third release for the R340 drivers, the seventh ‘Optimal Drivers for Enterprise’ [ODE]. ODE branches are dedicated to relatively long term stability for ISV certification, OEMs, and Enterprise customers.

That’s not to say you can’t do graphics and compute on a single Quadro GPU but you would likely find applications fighting for GPU resources, which can interrupt modelling workflows. Of course, there’s nothing to stop you rendering overnight, after you’ve gone home. Nvidia iray

For the Quadro K2200, K4200 and K5200 to truly express their power you need to turn on real-time rendering effects. ‘RealView’ adds realism to models, providing real world materials and advanced shading, including self-shadowing and scene reflections.

For two of the new cards, the ‘K’ prefix, that Nvidia introduced two years ago to mark the launch of its ‘Kepler’ family of Quadro GPUs, is a touch misleading. Max 2017]: DirectX 9, Mode Texture of some models disappears after some time if no operation (such as zoom, pan, or rotate) is performed on the model. 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.

on Dell internal analysis using publicly available specs in August 2023 comparing maximum effective capacity for PowerStore 1200 and FlashArray //X20. Assumes average 4:1 data reduction for PowerStore, 5:1 for Pure Storage. Actual results vary. The PB driver is a superset of the NVIDIA Studio Driver and provides all the benefits of the Studio Driver of the same version, in addition to NVIDIA RTX-specific enhancements and testing. While the Maxwell Quadros are more energy efficient, performance still scales well throughout the range, says Nvidia. Based on real-world 3D applications Nvidia claims users should see, on average, a 40 percent performance gain, generation over generation. NVIDIA RTX A6000, NVIDIA RTX A5000, NVIDIA RTX A4000, NVIDIA RTX A2000, NVIDIA T1000, NVIDIA T600, NVIDIA T400

In PTC Creo the Quadro K2200 delivers 25% more performance than the Quadro K2000 and the Quadro K4200, 26% more performance than the Quadro K4000 Quadro Mosaic

Uncertain – Graphics cards testing has shown that a slower card can provide a high and stable frame rate for the same operation. Indeed, from our initial round of testing, the Quadro K2200 and Quadro K4200 should certainly pique the interest of product development professionals – PTC Creo users in general and SolidWorks users who work with graphics intensive viewing modes.

RealView disabled’ focuses on two SolidWorks viewing modes: shaded and shaded with edges, which renders simple shaded models with outlines. This is one of the most popular display modes for CAD because it provides a very clear picture of the geometry when modelling.
