CAD and BIM software tends to be very ‘CPU limited’, so it doesn’t matter how much GPU horsepower you throw at your models, frame rates will not increase, or only by a tiny bit. In fact, in many cases, you’ll see no discernible performance difference between a £200 GPU and one that costs ten times as much. While real-time viz thrives on a high-end workstation GPU, the graphics requirements for CAD and BIM tools like SketchUp, Revit and Archicad are much lower. And this can have a major influence when choosing components for a workstation. With all the exciting new developments in design visualisation, it’s easy to forget that many architects are still only interested in modelling geometry. This gives architects some level of future proofing as their favourite design tools begin to evolve Unlike other GPUs in its class, it has hardware ray tracing built-in. The new entry-level AMD Radeon Pro W6400 GPU is tuned for CAD and BIM and is very aggressive on price.
