Budget (including currency): 2500 USD Country: Poland Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: AutoCad, Revit, Photoshop, Blender (sometimes sketchup + lumion (non ray tracing version)), also games Other details : I,m going to start my own architecture studio. I want the platform to be upgradable in the future. I'm not new to tech-related stuff, but this topic is making my head hurt and I need your opinion. Trying to minmax price and performance. I will probably use 2 monitors with this setup, that are not included in build. If you have a monitor that you can recommend please do. Also, going nvidia instead of radeon because of blender Proposed build: PCPartPicker Part List: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Y97q34 CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7900X 4.7 GHz 12-Core Processor ($410.59 @ Amazon) CPU Cooler: be quiet!

There are 2 things about this build that are bothering me, and its hard for me to find answears for them. Firstly, i want to be able to upgrade this pc in the future, so the question is what mobo should i choose. After doing some research, i basically found out that for my needs B650E chipset is enough, but i'm not confident if it will be a good choice for a future ryzen 9 9000 X(so in the build i chose more expensive option). Second thing is, if i get a subsidy for opening a new bussines i will be able to buy 7950x version, but i don't know if 4 cores justify 33% price increase. I'm moving from i7-7700k and i have to say that cpu is still doing well, but more complex models are starting to become troublesome. Thanks in advance.

(Repost) I am going off college beginning of august. I'm looking for windows laptops with at least a 30 series card, 32GB of RAM, and 1TB of storage. This laptop needs to have good battery life for when I am out and about using various CAD programs, capable of running video games at decent speeds (probably when plugged in), good cooling, and a relatively small size. I would preferably like to stay in the $1200-$1800 range with around $2000 being my absolute cap. I know that finding a laptop with all these requirements is a little tough and if sacrificing one of them is needed, then so be it. Thanks in advance for the help!

Hello everyone, I would like to get some input on a build for CAD use (Autodesk AutoCAD 2D and 3D workloads, Autodesk Inventor, mainly). I know that these programs depend mostly on single core performance. What would you pick between a 13700k and a 7700x, considering that the Intel costs 395 while the AMD is 265? I wouldn't go all the way to a i9 or R9 as I don't see much value in those chips for this kind of workload but I'm open to be proven wrong. For the motherboard I was looking at one of the options in the Asus CSM list, no particular needs, would be nice to have 2.5 or 10g ethernet. GPU wise it looks like the options available in this price range are RTX A4000 or RTX A4500 I am thinking about using a consumer GPU but I'm not sold on it. I would rather have something from the certified graphics hardware list https://www.autodesk.com/support/system-requirements/certified-graphics-hardware/inventor Budget (including currency): 2400 - 2600 EUR (excluding VAT) Country: Italy Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: AutoCAD, Inventor Thank you for your input Here is an example build that I could go with NZXT H5 Flow (91 eur) do I need extra fans? Corsair RM850X (135 eur) ASUS Prime B650-Plus CSM (187 eur) AMD Ryzen 7 7700X (264 eur) Noctua NH-U12S (74 eur) Kingston 2x32GB 6000mt/s DDR5 CL36 with expo profile (237 eur) RTX A4000 (1024 eur) Samsung 990 Pro 1TB (95 eur) Logitech MX Keys (76 eur) Logitech MX Master 2S (59 eur) Logitech mousepad (29 eur) I'm sorry LTTSTORE Total 2271

I'm searching for the dimensions and hole positions of the NZXT H7 Flow panels (left, right, top and front) to apply a Vinyl Wrap Skin to the case. Do you know where I can find the drawings of the case panels? The manual of the case on the official site doesn't have detailed dimensions, and I wasn't able to find additional resources. https://www.datocms-assets.com/34299/1653378210-case_h7-flow_digital-manual-en_pdf_2203.pdf

Budget (including currency): 500€ (base workstation is free or very cheap) Country: Austria Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: ALLPLAN, OBS, Zoom, Cinema 4D, Lumion Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): Status: conceptional phase Monitors: for now 2 HD or WQHD but in future maybe 3-4 alternatively 1 4K monitor Peripherals: for now Mouse, Shuffle Board USB Controller, USB microphone, 1080p webcam in future: phantom powered large diaphragm microphone, hooing up some used DSLR for content creation In the next months i might have the opportunity to get my hands on an old DELL workstation free or very cheaply... We used it for professional work in the company I am working for but we got new beasts of workstations equipped with the best i9 series 12x and 16GB graphics cards so some old stuff hast to go... The why: I teach the software ALLPLAN to students at universities in german speaking countries (in person and online) and take part in third party financed research projects for the uni with the software. My current laptop (i7 4700mq and GTX 770M) used to handle most functions very well, never had performance issues up till now, but the GPU is not supported bythe software anymore (OpenGL version too old and no more driver updates) and some visual features dont work anymore (openings in walls not showing up, some 3D perspectives not working...) and it starts to impact the quality of my lessons. I also had the problem that the graphics card started freezing when I was attending a Zoom Meeting and sharing the CAD/BIM software. I got it to temporarily work again by setting throttle to 100% but thats no long time solution for me... I don't feel like buying a comparable up to date laptop right now for about 2000€ as there just was the first big leap in GPUs for quite some time (RTX30x and RTX40x) and with a laptop I am permanently stuck with whatever it comes with out of the box... and I see my work getting more mobile so I would prefer a ultrabook like the Surface Laptop Studio with something like a 3050 Ti (really any dedicated GPU should be enough in my experience) one or two years down the line My solution: Update 2xCPU workstation with a "cheapish" NVIDIA GPU and some RAM for CAD/BIM, 3D Modelling, Architectural Photo and Video Rendering and Live Streaming and Video Content Creation for Teaching and now and then some gaming in HD or WQHD Streaming in 4k when the districts fibreoptic cable is finished Case: To be honest i would even buy it for the nice case (DELL Precision T5600) its in... it has a steel carry handle on the front and the back and great accesibility with a removable side panel and lots of ventilation openings. Overall a lot of room to work with. I am responsible for basic IT support (software install and licenses and hardware related tasks, no server or network stuff) and I always prefered the older DELL cases to the new smaller Lenovo ones in nearly every aspect... Built out of suprisingly thick sheet metal and with lots of places for IO. CPU: Regarding CPU I am very open to your recommendations and suggestions. I know it can't match modern CPUs, even top end ones being suprisingly cheap compared to the crazy GPU prices, but for my usecase it might just work... Especially the cheap first option... Following are some ideas I have right now... 1/2 CPU Slot Intel Xeon CPU E-5 2620 0 2/2 CPU Slot empty Option 1) Because of my usecase I might actually benefit from filling the second CPU Slot. We have one Workstation with 2 matching CPUs and I notice the difference. You can get it used for around 10€ now - to be honest I am seconds away from just YOLO ordering that one XD Option 2) I am even thinking about getting the most powerfull CPU I can fit in the socket... It is an LGA2011 (Sandy Bridge) so an Ivy Bridge CPU is possible) I still have to find out if LGA2011-1 CPUs are the same as the LGA2011 I already know LGA2011-3 or LGA2011 v3 aren't compatible. I could get also one or two used Intel Xeon Processor E7 8893 V2 for about 100€ each from a professional IT supplier that cleans and tests them. Cooling: I will just by a matching Noctua Cooler or get a used cooler and add NEW ventilators to it before installing - for rendering jobs constant cooling is very important. I might also add some other ventilators from decommisioned workstations for taking air in and out of the workstation - as I have access to them... If I feel fancy, I might add some Noctua fans on the case itself and a fan controller. And some Noctua Thermal Paste or another non conductive Thermal Paste - not feeling like adding liquid metall as the motherboard is mounted vertically and I don't feel like taking this risk... Motherboard: unknown 2 CPU motherboard (likely OEM) with 2x4 RAM slots for DDR3 RAM RAM: at least one RAM slot is damaged (computer won't start if a RAM is installed, if you install more than one RAM the computer starts to throttle like a vacuum cleaner, so another one might have issues as well) currently equipped with 16GB of DDR3 RAM (slow one 1600MHz but we have faster ones in some Workstation and you don't notice the difference the software we use) we have many old DDR3 RAM Sticks laying around that I can also get just by asking so I just have to try around which slots still work and how much RAM i can put in at max... but i won't be needing any more than 16 to 32 GB for now I also have two old PCs standing around at home that have compatible RAM but were only equipped with ancient Intel i3 or i5... GPU some old AMD Firepro (not supported by the professional software I use) ONLY NVIDIA is recommended by the companies that produce the software I am using, so sadly AMD is not an Option at all I am not afraid of a used GPU, even one from a miner would be fine as it doesn't have to survive for years... But if I can't find a used one for a good price and from a trustworthy seller I might just buy a RTX 3060 Ti or RTX 3050 Ti... If I can't find anything matching my criteria I will just buy any GPU that runs the OpenGL specs I require... Because most of my usecases are CPU heavy rather than GPU - I tested the new 16GB CPUs my company bought - I had to try really hard to get them to 20% workload (mostly moving in the 3D environment at veery high resolution and frames per second - the software saddly doesn't really use the GPU for Rendering any of Camera Flights or pictures) Only real requirement is that it supports 3-4 monitors in HD or WGHD and some 4k streaming or video editing on a single monitor. SSD: some 512GB or 1TB SSD in sale or I keep the old one installed in the PC - after it is overwritten and deleted according to company policy... RAID or backup in general doesn't matter, as the important stuff is in the cloud and stuff that is personaly important to me is backed up to external drives manually but regularly Network: a 2x1Gbit Network Card is already installed doesn't have WIFI - will be added same for bluetooth SoundCard: thinking about adding an PCIe Soundcard https://www.thomann.de/at/esi_maya44_ex.htm may add one for using Large Diaphragm microphones (recording tutorials and streaming lessons) have one powered by USB, it has a nice sound quality but I have to stick close to it and talk a bit louder... I already tried phantom powered microphones at a friends place - even cheap record you much louder, more relaxing for me in the longterm PowerSupply: will uninstall and clean with compressed air and see if I have to get a more powerfull one... RGB: maybe some simple and cheap lighting just for fun XD the cooling openings would show light from inside the tower but nothing complicated USB: if i happen to stick with the device long term If i have fitting slots left i might add a USB3.0 or USB4.0 card for backing up projects (building models and Renderings and videos can get huge - no motivation to run a NAS or similiar server) Operating System: already comes with Win10 Pro maybe even Win11 Pro I will repost in this thread if I really start my project... Feel free to share your tips or opinions with me - I am very open to suggestions and criticism and happy to benefit from your experiences.

I have a set of drawings (top down, side elevation, rear elevation). I need to convert them into a 3D model, but I have no idea how. Is there way I could hand them over to software and have it make me a 3D model? It doesn’t have any holes in it, just a solid object. If you need any other details, let me know, I’ll see what I can do to aid my own rescue (deadlines are on the way). If you have any critiques of my CO2 powered dragster you can add that too if you so desire.)

Hi all, I am working on my PC build and was wanting your opinion on which Radeon RX 6600 XT was the best when coupled with an i7-12700 and a small-form factor? I have heard that the MSI Radeon RX 6600 XT 8 GB GAMING X Video Card is really good at staying cool and performing well, but I was wanting to hear which one you all prefer. I play games such as Star Wars Battlefront II (2017) and do programming, virtualization, and will be working with CAD. Thx in advance, WeTuLo

Hi what is the best processor, for a $1000-1400 PC build, which includes a RX 6600, for someone who uses CAD, does some programming in languages like VB and Java, uses virtualization to a lower extent, and also is an avid High Graphics FPS Gamer. I live in the US and am wanting to use the MSI PRO B660M-A DDR4 Micro ATX LGA1700 Motherboard. Thx in advance, WeTuLo

Budget (including currency): Total PC build: $1000-1400 USD Country: United States Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: CAD, Oracle Virtual Box, VB & Java programming, Star Wars Battlefront II (2017), Civilization 4+ Other details (Refurbished) Intel(R) Core(TM) I5-3470 CPU @ 3.20GHz 3.20GHz, Installed RAM 12.0 GB, Win 10 OS Hi all, I am going into aerospace engineering, likely going to be doing CAD and I already have done some programming, and am needing to upgrade (seriously upgrade) my PC. I am also a gamer, who likes to play new-title, high-graphics, FPS and RTS PC games. I was wanting some advice as to what processor I should invest in? I am not partial to Intel or AMD. Also what motherboard and graphics card would be a good fit? Thanks in Advance, WeTuLo

Budget (including currency): 2000€ Country: Portugal Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: CFD, CAD, FEM and occasional rendering (keyshot) Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): Hi, we are a student group from Portugal looking to upgrade our current PC which has something like a gen4 i7 and 16GB of RAM. We can only buy products from this one store, so that limits us a bit. Either way, I've put together a list of parts and I wanted your opinion on possible incompatibilities or bottlenecks, as well as some help deciding between components. CPU - Seen some reviews showing better results than the Ryzen 5950X in CFD, CAD, etc despite the eight efficiency cores, so i think it is the right choice. We can't go to any Xeons or Epycs because the store doesn't sell the more reasonably price models. INTEL Core I9-12900K Motherboard - Chose it because of the support for DDR4, am I making the right choice by staying away from DDR5? Asus TUF Gaming Z690-Plus WIFI D4 RAM - Going for DDR4, we have 3 options: 32GB at 3600MHz, or 64GB at 3200MHz (2x 32GB or 4x 16GB). Is the added memory and less latency more beneficial to our workloads? And if we go for the 64GB option, is there any disadvantage in going for the 2 stick 32GB each? That way we could upgrade to 128GB in the future. 1x RAM DDR4 CORSAIR Vengeance (4 x 8 GB - 3600 MHz - CL 18) 2x RAM DDR4 KINGSTON Fury Beast (1 x 32 GB - 3200 MHz - CL 16) 2x RAM DDR4 KINGSTON FURY Beast (2 x 16 GB - 3200 MHz - CL 16) SSD - From my limited research and knowledge, the Samsung has the benefit of having AES 256-bit encryption, is that something needed? Apart from that, the Kingston is at the same level and is cheaper. Was thinking of staying away from de WD because of thermals, is that a real issue? SSD Samsung 980 PRO 1TB SSD KINGSTON KC3000 1TB SSD WESTERN DIGITAL SN850 1TB AIO cooler - I heard it's difficult to keep the i9 under cool temperatures, is it worth going for the bigger, 3 fan radiator and mount it in the front? Or would the smaller one do the job fine? CORSAIR Hydro iCUE H100i RGB PRO XT 120mm CORSAIR Hydro iCUE H150i RGB PRO XT 120mm Power Supply - Is it worth saving a buck in this high end system going for a cheaper power supply like the Enclave? (Low power PS considering a not too powerful GPU) CORSAIR RM650 (ATX - 650 W - 80 Plus Gold) KOLINK Enclave (ATX - 650 W - 80 Plus Gold) GPU - Which one should we go for? STAR CCM+ (CFD software) now features a graphics acceleration feature that uses CUDA cores to do some of the computation, but it's something very recent so we don't really know what to do... Apart from CFD, is it worth having a good GPU for our other workloads? And which one to get, considering even a GTX 1660 costs around 400€ in Portugal?

Budget (including currency): $700-1000 Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: CADlink Signlab, office work, and maybe other light 3D work in future So I need something for the business I work for. Our current pc we use to design vinyl prints and sign structures is pretty slow and does not handle the workload well. I have been tasked with buying and building the pc because I'm the only one who know how, however I'm not really sure what to use as i usually build gaming pcs and not workstations. like what kind of motherboard should use for intel or amd and how much ram should I get (i'm thinking 32GB) This is what I'm looking at using https://pcpartpicker.com/list/XcfM8r

Hi I am looking around for a new laptop. My previous laptop ROG Zephyrus has had its Motherboard fried and i am in the market for a brand new one. I am looking for some recommendations on what i should purchase. I am not interested in MAC I will need this laptop for CAD, Spreadsheet work, Office 365 Applications, 3D Modeling. My Budget is big. I am going to write it off as tax anyway. Is there a better laptop on the market right now for my needs or should i just re-purchase a ROG Zephyrus.

First of all, hello everyone. It's great to write here on LTT Forum. Budget (1400€): Country: Italy Used for:I will use the PC for 3D graphics and rendering, BIM and CAD / CAM, software use like Rhinoceros, AutoCAD, Revit, Blender Other details: Part list: 12700k MSI MAG Z690 Tomahawk WIFI DDR4 (a bit expensive but I would like to overclock in the future) Seasonic FOCUS GX-850 Gold Kingston FURY Beast RGB 32GB 3600 DDR4 (CL18) Crucial P5 Plus PCIe 4.0 1TB ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 360 A-RGB (it seems that it is more reliable than competition) MetallicGear Neo Qube ARCTIC P12 PWM PST A-RGB (3x120mm) X2 (1 kit for side and 1 for bottom) I have a Q6600 since 2007 with 8GB RAM, refreshed in 2015 with an SSD and a GTX 750 Ti, I will buy the components from Amazon that guarantees me to avoid customs and extra VAT, I am not particularly interested in gaming (although I love video games) The reason why there is no GPU in the list is that at the moment I can't / want to spend money on the shortage of GPU in the market. I think it is better to bet on a fast CPU and temporarily use the 750ti (please do not laugh ). In the future, maybe find a powerful average RTX to switch to the GPU rendering. Do you think it's the case to change the mobo as suggested by Igor'Lab and add the washers to avoid bending the CPU? I am open to any advice or suggestion. thank you all for your attention

My main rig is used mainly for photography work and some CAD work (I'm an engineer but mostly use this for personal stuff), I DO NOT use it for gaming (haters gonna hate). I built my PC a couple of years back and the spec isn't top end, but it was good at the time and was one of the best for single thread processing (as that was where photoshop got the most benefit). - i7 7700K OC to ~5gHz Watercooled AiO (may get upgraded later) - Asus RoG Maximus IX Code Motherboard - 32GB Corsair Vengeance DDR4 3000MHz CL15 - 2TB Sabrent Rocket NVME 4 - 3TBx2 Raid Drives + another 16TB on TrueNAS server (just built :-p) - Gigabyte GTX1070 windforce OCii 8GB DDR5 Driving 2x 27" Benq 4k Monitors I would like to transfer that Graphics card to another system and get something better suited to what I use this one for, my Camera is a Canon 5DS with 50Mp sensor so pretty big files, especially when you're stacking images. Some of my CAD workalthough mostly hobby stuff can get pretty big and complex, though I don't do a lot of "photo realistic" rendering i certainly do work in 3D almost entirely. So working to a budget of £400 (about $550?) what is going to be my best banng for buck performance? 1. Keep the GTX1070 because in that budget, not much else will give more performace and get something budget friendly for my other rig (which is going to be used mostly for streaming and some video decoding)? 2. Get a Quadro K5000 and a Tesla K80 or something similar for the VRAM? (about £300-400 total possible) 3. Get a slightly higher end GPU (NVidia or AMD?) than the GTX1070, but will it give me much more performance? 4. Stretch the budget a little to get???????? Help, advice, comments welcome Steve

Hey there! I'm a student and currently looking for a laptop to replace my current HP one. I have a budget of around 1.2k USD (flexible), and I intend to do CAD work on fusion 360. I would also be doing some light photoshop and lightroom stuff. I currently have a HP Elitebook 820 g3 with a i5-6200U so I need something more powerful. What do you guys suggest I get? Also, has increased silicon prices affected laptop pricing, if so, should I buy now or later once they are cheaper? Thanks!

A certain marble loving YouTuber, who likes to use magnets to complicate things and weld everything together, has asked me to help him choose a new modeling PC. Budget (including currency): No real budget, but I prefer to keep my kidney(s) Country: France Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Fusion360, Solidworks (rendering and modeling), maybe editing videos. Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): - You can view the complete list of current parts here, the prices are a rough estimate and can be ignored mostly. - No previous parts to use - Must be Windows since Solidworks is Windows-only - Later two monitors will be added, probably 1440p 60hz - As silent as possible, within the abilities. Watercooling is not an options since this PC wil not be maintained by me or the person who it's for. The build listed below started from following the Puget Systems recommended systems for Solidworks. There I found that AMD Threadripper would be best for rendering because of the massive amount of cores, even though most pre-builds I found online are built with Intel. For RAM I read somewhere that it's best to use as many of the slots as possible, hence the 8GB sticks. For the case I went with a big boi Corsair Crystal 680X to maximize airflow, but I'm looking into a smaller mid-tower or rack solution if it's needed, this is something I'll have to check. Sound and airflow would still be most important. The biggest help I would need is with choosing a decent GPU for this kind of work. Currently a Nvidia Quadro RTX 6000 is chosen, but not for a particular reason. Let me know if you need verification that this is indeed for Winter-, oops, I mean, marble loving YouTuber©. Thank you so much in advance! With love from Belgium, Sebastiaan Jansen

Two points; we all know that the 3U rack size is the least liked by many server enthusiasts and manufacturers, and even hated by some for its odd size; many large servers use axial fans in 80, 92, and 120mm sizes, but very few beyond the 1U format will have squirrel-cage/blower fans for full system cooling. Even in the rare case which such fans are used, the air is always drawn in from the front of the chassis for obvious reasons. I have a random idea to design a chassis in 3U form factor that dedicates all of it's front-panel space to a pair of 8" HD (old HD, not 1080) screens for system telemetry, maintenance, and casually observing running workloads... but how to cool it? Through the top, of course! (my rack has an open 3U space in the top, so this works perfectly) But I couldn't just pick an axial fan to mount on the top and blindly believe it would work, no, I needed a more strategic approach to the issue-- so I looked at datasheets from the few manufacturers known to make high-speed fans, and found something perfectly fitting as well as energy efficient from San-Ace under their C133 line, model 9TJ48P0H01. To those of you wondering why I'd do such an odd configuration and with powerful centrifugal fans, the simple answer is; I was bored. (and I have a mad obsession with fans!) Because the fans I intend to use are proprietary in shape, the only way to mount them and effectively direct the airflow in a full-scale server chassis is to design a custom base and shroud to affix the fans and the inlet nozzle uniformly to the target chassis. I ran the numbers several times, and while at first I didn't think it would all fit, I made it work just barely staying within mechanical tolerances. Needless to say this is going to be ludicrously dense. Overall dimensions are 420mm wide, 140mm deep, and 107mm total height. Each fan (133mm wheel diameter) is separated at the midpoint by 140mm, leaving effectively 2mm of running space between each wheel and the walls of the shroud. Vertically it has about 5mm from the base plate to the bottom of the wheel, and some odd 12-13mm from underneath the cover plate to the top of the wheel. Am I concerned about the fan wheel rubbing against the side walls? Well first off that's what the screw holes on the base plate are for since that's how the fan is expected to be mounted, and second, as Linus would say; YOLO! Also a little side comment here; the numbers weren't quite what I expected, so I plan to split my 3U design idea internally; the system itself will live on a 2U upper-deck area (the effective cooling path for this fan model only covers 2U vertical area) inline with the custom fan assembly, while the power supply and other components will be in the bottom 1U of the chassis' usable space, making it possible to create a monster of a system! Here are renderings of the semi-final assembly I've made so far:

Hi, im thinking of making a small gamepad, would this design work well? (im gonna add a simple base attached with M3 bolts but i havnt modeled it yet)

Budget (including currency): Total: $1600, Remaining: $1050 (USD) Country: USA (Arizona) Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Games: Rainbow 6, Modern Warfare, Overwatch, Detroit:BH, Minecraft. Workload: Photoshop, Premiere, SolidWorks, CURA, AutoDesk Hey, so I'm a first time PC builder, I was always a laptop guy before this and I just used my work systems for my CAD programs. I've already got a pair of 1080p 60Hz monitors. Looking to upgrade them as well as grab a keyboard and mouse, but I'm leaving those out of the budget. (Total budget is closer to $2k, saving last chunk for peripherals, flexible cost anyway). I need the PC to run the above-listed CADs, and I'd love to get the best performance I can out of the above games. Not concerned too much about RGB or flashy aesthetics, but won't say no. Despite the shortage, I got my hands on an RTX 3060 for just $550. That's why the remaining budget is at $1050. Here is my preliminary list of parts my research has led to. I'd love critiques, comments, or suggestions.

What would you guys recommend for a GPU or GPU's in a sever. Planning on running 3-5 SolidWorks applications through virtualization as well as a few other VM's and have the server as a file server. We have good luck in our workstations with Quadro p1000 but that's for our more high end work.
