Gpu for Solidworks

[Abdullah Bhutta]

Hi guys,

can you guys tell me which graphics card will be best for gaming as well as for Solidworks?

I want to achieve both at the same time

2080ti

I imagine that would be the Quadro RTX 8000, costing $5500

really it will be best for 3d rendering applications

[SupaKomputa]

Solidworks does not recommend gaming cards. 

This may become important for tech support.

 

For performance check out this video.

15:55 on this video is about Solidworks.

You can either run Solidworks on an RTX card or you can game on a Quadro card. It is your choice.

Neither is as good as using the right tools for the job but if you are not using Solidworks to make money I don't think it matters. 

 

I did 3D design for a living so it mattered to me.

I am making money with Solidworks but also need gaming experience but I think the only way is to resolve this is by having two PC's with one for Solidworks and for earnings and the other for gaming experience with the next generation of Nvidia line up GPU's the RTX 3000 Series

I used 2 or more computers for years.

Customers don't want to hear that you can't finish their job on time because your computer died or you are having a software glitch. 

 

I also used 2 computers for productivity as well. I used my gaming computer to run PhotoShop, illustrator and video editing software while my 3D computer ran mainly 3D Max. I created textures and prepared images while the 3D computer rendered. Both computers rendered over night.  

This worked well for me and since even my gaming computer made money I could justify updating it every year.
