Thank you very much for your support. This ideas are really recommended for a Senior Design Engineer
Solid advice, thanks for the breakdown.
Exactly what I needed to know. Thanks!
Just an update, as of a few weeks ago, the AMD 5600x, 5800x, 5900x and 5950x CPUs have the fastest single core performance on the market. Intel was faster when this video was made and they will likely come back again one day, but AMDs newest CPUs are both the best possible option and the best value option.
Also, while professional businesses should have Quadros, as a student or part time/hobbyist CAD designer you're far better off getting a GTX/RTX card than a Quadro. The only feature you'll miss out on is "trueview", which isn't very useful for students.
Appreciated the explanation mate
Just the comment I was looking for 👍👍
Thanks a lot for the information bro!
Im looking for a laptop for mechanical engineering, its pretty difficult. Solidworks says you need quadro, but laptops are expensive with those, others say geforce does the job well. This search is so annoying.
@@paparoelie575 I have the same problem did you figure it out?
@@hanoniemanoniem3129 I got a laptop. Its the Lenovo IdeaPad 5 Pro 16ACH6 - 82L5006PMH fot €1000. It has a Ryzen 5/512GB/RTX 3050/16GB RAM.
I haven’t downloaded solidworks yet but I think it will run fine with this specs. I like this one because its “only” €1000, thinner, lighter and nice materials. You need good specs but not that good specs I discovered. The study recommended special drawing cards bit there damn expensive.
For last 12 years I work as automotive design engineer and for last 4 years I work also as design engineer in domain of optoelectronics and optomechanics,nanotechnology,micro lens technology etc.I have some assemblies with more than 40K components at 6x6mm and guess what,I use advanced binned GTX1080ti..I use both QUADO and standard gaming cards but only difference is customer support and thats it.Long time ago we had some cards like Quadro FX 4800 with noticeable difference but right now the cards are more advanced with large amount of memory and there is no reason to buy QUADRO card unles you are a Pixar or you need someone to hold your balls in day to day work for that extra money.
hi, i'm engineering student from egypt and for sure i can't afford a quadro card in new laptop.
i'm doing purchase soon do you think it's good idea to buy gaming laptop as dell G3 or lenovo ideapad l340??
thanks in advance
@@MohamedSayed-vk9cp More than enough..You just need some good processor and at least 8GB of RAM, 16GB is some sweet spot..From my point of view,RAM is most important part.As engineering student,probably you will not have complex assemblies with 1500+ parts,you just need good piece of hardware for AutoCAD,Solidworks,Fortran,Basic or something like that,so just keep going and buy the best option for your pocket.
@@eladherzog thank you alot .u really helped me thanks
Lmao
@@eladherzog I agree. I'm starting a masters degree in optoelectronics and would have to run FRM and FDTD simulations for breakfast. The only thing I want to emphasise is the SSD. It made my work much more convenient and comfortable.
for begineers and students I recommend low end laptops and for high end use your schools or Job desktop. meaning that you use your laptop for presenatation and small design fixes and desktop for simulation and vice verse. and dont forget get to move your body
Agreed. After all, unless you have difficulties accessing a CAD desktop, save the money for when it matters the most. No need for more debt as a college kid
If you begineer or expert Cad programs tooks Very big area of ssd so low end laptop doesn't good enough for Cad programs....
LOL!!!!!!!
@@Mars-lc4oj SSD can change existed hard drive... easy...
not an option if you have to follow a class. i use it at school and there are no computers at school anymore. they expect that you buy a laptop that can handle solidworks
@@josdebossss srry to hear that, for me the school always had computers for the class that need a particular one and the school had a program to lend you computer.
Dassault Systemes should know that a workstation is not affordable. I do have an 8 gen i7, 32 gb of RAM, but my GPU is a gaming one, a RX 570, not supported but nothing a couple of tweaks in the registry could not fix. Just a Quadro alone costs the same as the setup mentioned above or even more. That's just a complete madness.
A very helpful video will be one in were you explain what's the bare minimum you'll need to build a decent and affordable semi-pro workstation. Hope you take that into consideration 👍
You most certainly can use consumer GPU for Solidworks. Currently using 6GB GTX 1060 which performs much better than a P1000 which I also own. Perhaps those GPUs haven't been tested by SW and not "certified' but it is 95% marketing BS.
good video and explanation was needed eagerly. thanks brother.
thank you
does this apply for design and visualization on 3D MAX also
I am planning to use my laptop for both design and simulation. Thank you for the video, it is very helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
i've been thinking to buy the new XPS 5540 with i7 processor, nvidia quadro T2000 and 16GB RAM, in order to use principally CAD 3D(creo,catia,solidworks) and simulation (inventor, ansys). in your opinion the machine which i would buy it's a good machine? o i can find some issue?
Currently running Solidworks education on a MacBook Air from 2015 using an i5 and 8gb RAM
Some things that may be a bit newer than this video. AMD 5000 series does have better ipc performance, meaning better single threaded performance, as well as cpus with more cores (if you can buy any of the new chips). Not to mention, zen 2 (3000) and zen 3 (5000) AMD cpus support ecc memory if your motherboard as well supports it. That way you wont have buy an expensive xeon processor for ecc ability. Not to mention, gaming GPU's and work GPU's are only different in their drivers and quality. The nvidia quadros and amd wx pros are picked for the best silicon and refined drivers, that way the card is less likely to crash and works more smoothly. If you have a low budget and are doing light applications, then you could probably save money buying a "gaming" card as long as it has the right amount of memory or cores. The computer market is constantly changing so it's important to check for new products and research what is perfect for you.
thanks for the information...
Thank you for the very informative video! Would you recommend the Surface pro 6? I have been thinking on getting one with 16gb, 256 storage.
Thank you.
Good work buddy
Hi! Do you recommend ASUS Vivobook S15 for an upcoming civil engineering student?
awesome enlightenment.
Great video.
Does running SW non natively on Mac have a performance penalty compare to an equal spec windows machine?
Thank you sir
Thanks a lot
Which is better and why
Dell precision 5530 top model with 4gb qudro p2000 vs Dell precision 7730 top model with 16gb qudro p5000
I want to buy ASUS ZenBook Flip 14 UX463FL, is it compatible
and powerful enough to run SOLIDWORKS 2020?
Specially it's GPU which is Nvidia MX250 Pascal OpenGL v4.6 with 2Gb GDDR5
graphic memory.
my budget is limited to this choice.
Hi Sr. Can you do this type of video for materialise magic , rhinoceros... thank you
Thank you!!
One question: is the Intel UHD 630 graphics card suitable for design, modelling and assembling?
yes
HP Spectre x360 (ultrabook) or ASUS Rog Strix (gaming laptop) will be better for 3ds max and vray rendering? Please help. Thanks in advance
Hello, I have a question. I have a computer with:
CPU - Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700K @ 4.00GHz 4.00GHz
RAM - 32 GB
GPU - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB
Disk 0 - Samsung SSD 850 EVO 250GB
Disk 1 - HDD 1TB
Ran SW2018 first, speed was good no problems. Now I rebooted my hole computer and downloaded SW2019, and it is super slow. Any idea what could cause this? I think my PC isn't a problem, because it was good before.
gaming cards are not supported to keep Quadro relevant (money) or is there any specific reason?
So, for those of us students that won't buy a workstation with AMD or Nvidia quadro GPU cards, what other gpu's could we consider?
According to LinusTech channel RX 580 with i7 8700k is the best economic option for students
Some GeForce GTX card work ok
I am going to study Industrial engineering and management science. And we are gonna use solidwork idk yet how deeply. But I want to buy an Microsoft Surface Pro 7. Does anyone know whether this will be suitable ?
will solidworks and other design software work on an i3 processor, with 32gb ram and 250 gb ssd
Hello!
I bought an ASUS ROG Zephyrus M notebook with in GTX 1060 6Gb, but I also bought an eGPU case - AkiTio Node Pro.
I'd like to use it at home, like a "workstation" and output to external monitor.
I added to the eGPU a Quadro K5000 and had a lot of issues with drivers. (Quadro vs. GeForce) Can't use external monitor.
I wrote to Nvidia support, but they wont support this kind of combination. (they gave me a link to a forum with theme from 2010; and now is 2019 )
Indeed the Quadro K5000 in AkiTio Node Pro connecting via ThunderBolt 3 showing better result in SolidWorks (nearly the same, like the GTX 1060)
So, if I will buy a Quadro P4000 GPU to use it like an eGPU, will it perform better in my case?
Or can you somehow to affect Nvidia that they do somethig with drivers?
No one will give me a Quadro P4000 for test, but there are no sense to by an ~1000$ Quadro P4000 GPU with this kind of driver issues and leave it on the shelve after failed test.
The AkiTio Node Pro is alredy on the on the shelve. (~500$)
Maybe because the bandwidth of TB3 isn’t large enough to take full advantage of it?
Can i know if this laptop suitable for auto cad and how minimum gb for the laptop?
What about SolidCAM, CPUs with more cores or turbo boost? I guess GPU is not that important.
Can this pc configaration be used for rhino matrix cad designing and v ray rendering
what laptop should i get ?
Sponserd by Dell
and intel
Which one is good amd or intel

Im going for a ryzen 7 build with 3700x, corsair 16x2 gb ram, rtx 2070 card , nvme solid state drive, necessary components.
Where should that laptop be ?
SolidWorks 2019 is single threaded ???
Please sir make one video on best budget pc for 3d design pc configuration
there are none

Clean and professional.
Turbo Boost Processor
16-32GB RAM
Nvidia Quadro
Thanks
I work with CATIA on old laptop. You dont need all this stuff on the small or medium assemblies.
Is a nvidea geforce gtx 1650 with 4 gb of videocard memory good for design and rendering? It also has a i5 9th gen. 16 gb ram.
Acceptable
Sir, what about threads?
aight imma head out to buy a laptop with a "quadro" gpu hope my broke ass can find one cheap.
gonna need an update cause i'm in a similar position rn
@@thecinephilefish9465 you don’t need a workstation card at all. It’s all marketing bullshit.
The difference between a GeForce and Quadros is the way the heat is transferred. They are the exact same chip. Quadros or founders cards are engineered and made directly by the OEM. In this case is Nvidia. GeForce cards can be made by third party. MSI, Asus, gigabyte, PNY, list goes on.
Heat transfer. For Quadros desktop cards, the heat is being rejected from the chip to the environment. GeForce the heat is being reject into the case, and you will need fans or liquid cooling to force it out into the environment.
For laptops. Don’t both with a work station card. I’ve used a dell workstation, that fucker heats up and thottles like no tomorrow with large assemblies or high detailed assemblies.
Just get a gaming laptop with GTX1660ti min if you plan on doing any analysis work. The integrate card works for design work just fine. Yes, you can run solid works on a surface pro. Fuck I’m play Diablo 3 on a surface pro with zero issue. With high pixel density too.
@@kroozctrl6284 I was thinking to get the Dell XPS 15, then I saw this guy talking about the precision dell.
What would you recommend out of the 2
Quadros are pretty different on quadro at least that was the case before rtx
@@kroozctrl6284 quadro is gone now 2021 has no quadro anymore nvidia just sell geforce card with quadro's drivers
Hello, I am a Civil engineering student looking to purchase a laptop for solidworks, I am looking to buy the hp x360 15.6 inch that has 16gig ram, Nvidia graphics card, 512 SSD, and core i7 8th Gen. My question is will this be good enough for me to run solidworks smoothly or not. Thank you In anticipation of your response.
Hi, if you're looking to get the best out of SOLIDWORKS it's really important to get a graphics card that is dedicated for CAD modelling, for nvidia cards these will be part of the nvidia Quadro range and NOT the nvidia GeForce range. The other specs you have mentioned seem like they will be suitable, so you just need to check about the graphics card. If you'd like to read more about it, or check out some recommended machines then take a look at our hardware recommendations page here. www.solidsolutions.co.uk/solidworks/Hardware/default.aspx
Thanks for the response. keep up the good work.
@@TriMechGroup Would you please tell us post RTX2080 mobile release, if this is still true? I have noticed that most of the software companies have not updated their recommendations post RTX2080 release and the fact that NVIDIA now releases Studio graphics drivers for both the RTX quadro and RTX geforce cards. The move from Pascall to Turing architecture has changed the game, however, by how much is difficult to quantify without updated information from software providers. As an example, would a consumer be better off with the laptop versions of the older Pascall based Quadro P4200 or the new Turing based RTX2080 for solidworks?The Quadro P4200 is a year older and is designed for mobile workstations, whilst the Geforce is for High end gaming laptops but they share many similarities and the the geforce beats it in every benchmark except 2! Both of these configurations are now at similar price points, Both have 8GB of Ram, however the Quadro has the slower DDR5 to the 2080s DDR6 .
GEforce 2080 Videocard is newer: launch date 11 month(s) later
Around 12% higher core clock speed: 1380 MHz vs 1227 MHz
Around 64% higher pipelines: 2944 vs 1792
A newer manufacturing process allows for a more powerful, yet cooler running videocard: 12 nm vs 16 nm
2x more memory clock speed: 12000 MHz vs 6008 MHz
Around 9% better performance in PassMark - G2D Mark: 875 vs 801
Around 29% better performance in PassMark - G3D Mark: 13418 vs 10362
Around 27% better performance in GFXBench 4.0 - Car Chase Offscreen (Frames): 20327 vs 16043
Around 27% better performance in GFXBench 4.0 - Car Chase Offscreen (Fps): 20327 vs 16043
Then you have the older P4200 Quadro
Around 4% higher boost clock speed: 1647 MHz vs 1590 MHz
Around 50% lower typical power consumption: 100 Watt vs 150 Watt
2.5x better performance in GFXBench 4.0 - Manhattan (Frames): 3714 vs 1497
2.5x better performance in GFXBench 4.0 - Manhattan (Fps): 3714 vs 1497
2.2x better performance in GFXBench 4.0 - T-Rex (Frames): 3347 vs 1528
2.2x better performance in GFXBench 4.0 - T-Rex (Fps): 3347 vs 1528
Would you please explain to us how these two cards compare as you do not include Pascal based solutions in the above hardware link and they are now at very similar price points. (obviously the RTX quadros are better, but they are also a lot more expensive)
Thank you in advance!
Buying a laptop for my wife for cad, sketchup ,vray etc. Is the asus G531GVE5-PK19. Its 9th gen i7 , 16gb ddr4 and nvidia rtx2060. No clue about this stuff so any help is appreciated
That laptop just fine. The only problem is pretty heavy for woman to carry around.
please suggest me around 1000$ laptop for soildworks
Could I run it with an i5 & 16 GBs of RAM? My homework is just basic part modeling exercises from the textbook for the most part.
Yes it would work with any CPU with good turbo boost
It even works with my amd a6 APU
I'm starting college soon and I need the best laptop for Mechanical engineering. What would you recommend?
If you can afford it, go for a Dell Precision laptop - secondhand ones are still viable - mine is 5 years old but still works great on SolidWorks 2020.
do mechanical engineering student need a laptop? or a pc at home enough?
Anything that had a ryzen or Intel 7 and an ssd the rest is on your palate also it depend on what your gonna do if your just doing something lite my suggestion is overkill
@@sasageyosasageyo7281 u know nothing about mechanical engg.
A desktop.
I want a laptop for CAD work, and 3D rendering. Shall I go for a laptop with Quadro GPU or with a GeForce? Budget is 2,200 USDs.
@Viorel Petre Yes, I bought Quadro with RTX!
Need a help I'm a beginner in autodesk inventor would you recommend me to go for ThinkPad t590 corei5 8th gen
8gb ram , 2gb mx250 graphic card
It will run just fine. I'm using it on a i5 5200U with the internal graphics. But go for more RAM if you can afford it.
@@gianjorimann2667 thank you for your time
It's ok, for assembly with 20 - 30 parts.
It's about time you have a Mac OS version of solid works guys!! It's about time!!
Blink damn you!
I need best laptop for civil engineering I'm starting college soon. Can someone help me what laptop should I buy that can run revit, cad, solidworks, catia, mathlab, etc?
Consider this: I7 8gen or more, 32 gb ram (for revit), Quadro p620 4gb, 500 SSD, 500 HDD. Do not consider a gaming latptop.
so an i9 9900k?
Quadro graphics cards are hard to come by on a laptop. What would you recommend from the Rtx range of graphics cards?
Quadro is ridiculously faster for solidworks specifically. They aren't hard to come by on laptops, you just have to look at the workstation ranges like hp zbooks and dell precision. You can find a ton of these used/refurb on ebay for way better prices as well and if you know how it's best to get a lower ram spec and buy some more you put in yourself to save more money. Buying new gives you a ton of great warranty compared with consumer gear though so for a business you 100% want to go that route.
Depends on your workload, a RTX2080Ti will be enough. If your opt to go for a higher end workstation GPU, then go for Quadro RTX 6000. SOLIDWORKS will take advantage of the RT cores.
Is the P2200 Quadro card worth it over the P1000 for this?
No it's not......buy a gaming card at a fraction of the cost.
Apparently gaming cards are terrible for solid works as they’re built for speed over accuracy
Why windows 8 doesn't support solidworks
I want a laptop for programming...could you help me with that
what about uhd graphic card in the ultra books
you won't have much fun with cad programs on those machines
Don't use shared memory gpus like Intel hd uhd or vega gpus
So AMD does not work??? :( Like Ryzen 7 3700x?
Can we add external graphics card for laptop
CRACK UPSC Mission 2022 some with usb c

Can my laptop run solid works? or i have to upgrade my machine?
my laptop

No SSD
4GB RAM
GForce 520M
Works perfectly.
Can we use a Ryzen instead of a Xeon?
I'm having same question
Yeah I think so but you can also get the Threadripper wich is closer related to xeon but I’d say Ryzen 3rd gen is a good budget option due to the high core count.
Yep, u can. Running SW2019 on a Ryzen 3700X here. Doing fine.
I try it with ryzen 5 and just fine, but I only had around 20 parts in 1 assembly.
What About AmD
I have a "proper" SolidWorks approved graphics card and it still gives me troubles....
A GTX 1650 worked fine with no problems
Pc for cad 3d 800-900 euro?
Ryzen 5 better than i5 generation 8 or not?
yes
Really comprehensive, but what’s with the constant brand pushing? You trying to get 5 bucks off of me?
Almost feel like solidworks was sponsored by Dell
I5 87XX, GTX 1650, SSD memory, 16Gb Ram is enough for the program to work just fine
Man tell you get a quadro like we that rich get an amd card Vega 580 or more if your poor like me
Mobile chips are still not as powerful as their desktop counterparts. Mobile CPUs may have similar spec on paper however due to poor cooling they will thermothrottle and there is no way to keep max frequency for long. Another problem I have with your recommendation is stating that gaming GPU will cause issues with SW. This is simply untrue. Yes, gaming cards are not supported but they will be fine. They may not perform as well as their Quadro sisters, however as a lot of us do not have space for two machines, one for work/for entertainment, getting a high end gaming card will give you enough juice for quite complex assemblies. However if you stated that we need Xeon/Quadro for work, I would have not said anything as this makes sense, i.e. better stability (on paper). But recommending consumer grade CPU and professional GPU makes little sense, sorry. Talking from experience, I worked with Creo, Inventor, SW, ANSYS, Plant3D, Navisworks Manage. Bear in mind this is just an opinion :).
Dang, I invested in an rtx 2070 gaming card since I thought it would be equivalent to a quadro
Does it work with SW? It is a gaming card not a quadro card?
@@bigtony6 it's designed for games, not optimized at all for cad or learning
@@KevinSiebert I asked because I am after a new laptop . I can afford a gaming one such as Lenovo y540 . I know I'd work with Autocad , Inventor ect. However wasn't sure about the Solidworks. There are videos on YT showing on how to tweak a registry to make it work with a gaming card.
I9 10900k and rtx 3090 thats what i purchased .
Why cant you use a gaming gpu?
I want to know the same thing. I am looking to get a computer thats capable of running lower end games and also basis designing on solidworks
Team red
An SSHD is a different thing to an SSD.
Can someone help me pick hardware parts to build a new pc for civil engineering (as a Job not a student pc)?
Waht will be the overall price in indian rupee
32G of ram......are you joking. I've meet hundreds cad draftsmen.....only one with a quadro card.....everyone was using gaming cards....EVERYONE.
Sir, my laptop has gtx 1650 4gb graphic card
Is it good for cad/cam/cae
Vaio.
Is macbook pro 15 with 555x good ?
why you people are misleading people about computer hardware seriously this is called scamming a 500$ pc can run solidworks to the max
This is an advertisement for Dell not for the best machine.
I would get a Tesla instead
