#Quadro 2000 series

How does PhotoView 360 benefit from the Quadro 2000 over the FX series and what advantage does the FX3800 or 4000 provide? Also the level of Hardware Full-Scene Anti-aliasing has increased in SW2012, previously the limit was 8x FSAA, now up to 24x FSAA will be supported on Quadro 2000 and greater.ĭid SolidWorks (or NVIDIA) make improvement to better support multi-threading and the additional CUDA cores?Ĭurrently SW2012 doesn’t utilize the GPU computing capabilities possible using CUDA on our GPU’s, however we are always looking for ways to work with Dassault to add these types of features. This was never possible before because AO would be disabled unless a part was static.

Ambient occlusion is pretty demanding so it can still be slow in usage, but the really nice thing that it allows is that now you can enable AO when using Realview and can create motion studies and animations to be recorded as Video and they will show full AO. This means that the GPU can show AO dynamically while you move or rotate your parts. With 2012 SolidWorks now allows Hardware accelerated Ambient Occlusion to be enabled. What specific performance factors increased between SolidWorks 2012 and previous versions? I asked Sean Kilbride, Technical Marketing Manager Workstation Products, about three topics I commonly get questions about regarding SolidWorks and GPU usage. The GPU does little for processing the model, so more GPU’s won’t gain you any added performance. The SolidWorks models are all CPU as well. PhotoView 360 is 100% CPU-based rendering and doesn’t task the GPU, so for PV360 rendering your benefits come along with more multi-threaded CPU cores. The other window is the PhotoView 360 Preview window. RealView graphics utilize the GPU to render the semi-realistic graphics on the SolidWorks screen. The image below is a screenshot of a data set from NVIDIA shown in SolidWorks with RealView graphics on.

All worked fine from driver installation to setting up dual monitors.

I actually tested a Quadro 2000 and a Quadro FX 3800 on an installation of Windows 8. In my past experience, this has been the case with every graphics card I’ve used. You’ll get some lag, drag and general slower response with RealView graphics toggled on and better performance with it turned off.

Where the Quadro 2000 (and SolidWorks) get a little wonky is on a large data sets. Those are the basics we all want so as not to become violent.

It doesn’t clip and cut the visuals on fast rotation or panning.

It support dual monitors and SolidWorks 2012 new dual monitor support.

It supports RealView in SolidWorks 2012.

The Quadro 2000 works with SolidWorks 2012 as you would expect. Quadro 2000 and SolidWorks 2012: The 3 things you care about You may have upgraded, but will your Quadro video card work? The answer is a resounding YES, but here are a few other things you’ll want to know about SolidWorks, GPU performance, multi-threading and more. However, after you’ve got your taste for tech out your system and slipped that card into your computer, barring electrocution from the spittle, you’ll be well on your way to using that hardware to aid in your quest to vanquish the 3D model landscape… as in the case with a new SolidWorks 2012 installation.
