At $399, it might be priced like a professional GPU for CAD or BIM, but it’s significantly more powerful and can also be used for VR.

Now with the release of the AMD Radeon Pro W5500 those with more limited budgets can also get on board.
The ‘VR Ready’ Nvidia Quadro RTX 4000 and AMD Radeon Pro W5700 would certainly get you there but will set you back around £700 and typically take the cost of your workstation beyond £2,000. To use these GPU hungry applications effectively you’d have had to invest in a more powerful and more expensive GPU. If you currently own a sub £400 professional graphics card you probably won’t be getting the performance you need for real-time viz, especially at 4K resolution. Tools like Enscape, Lumion, Twinmotion, Unity, Unreal Engine, IrisVR, VR4CAD, eDrawings Professional and more will happily devour all the graphics processing power you throw at them. These applications are extremely GPU intensive and are not bottlenecked by the CPU in the same way that CAD software typically is. In architecture in particular, the use of real-time visualisation and Virtual Reality (VR) is on the rise. With top-end cards costing close to £5,000 you could end up wasting lots of money on graphics processing power you never use.īut workflows are changing.
So, even if you got the most powerful workstation graphics card in the world, your 3D model still wouldn’t move more smoothly. In other words, 3D performance is bottlenecked by the CPU, not the GPU. The fact is, the majority of 3D design software is very CPU-limited.
