Product Information

Improved performance of VR applications — new and enhanced technologies include Variable Rate Shading, Multi-View Rendering and VRWorks Audio. Nvidia Quadro RTX still has thousands of CUDA cores, so it can do all the things that Pascal and Maxwell could do (albeit faster) but it also features two additional sets of cores — RT Cores, which are optimised for ray tracing, and Tensor Cores, which are optimised for deep learning.

But the good news is, because the new Quadro RTX GPUs are a significant improvement over previous generations, this will be reason enough for many. Then, when Quadro RTX-enabled software finally starts to ship, design viz folks will be able to generate photorealistic output even faster. The Quadro RTX family Stepping up to the Nvidia RTX A5000 will give you an additional boost. Compared to the Nvidia RTX A4000 it was between 1.27 and 1.37 times faster. New external memory and semaphore sharing extensions provide a generic framework that enables OpenCL to import external memory and semaphore handles to synchronize with the external runtime, coordinating the use of shared memory.Multi-GPU Mosaic][Quadro Sync]: Application corruption and possible blue-screen crash occurs when enabling WARP while Mosaic and Quadro Sync are enabled. As we wait for AMD to deliver a Pro version of its ‘Big Navi’ Radeon RX 6000 series GPUs with hardware ray tracing, Nvidia’s biggest competitor in pro graphics is currently itself.

For comparison, we used the last two generations of ‘4000’ class Nvidia pro GPUs – the 8 GB ‘Turing’ Nvidia Quadro RTX 4000 (from 2019) and the 8 GB ‘Pascal’ Nvidia Quadro P4000 (from 2017). Three to four years is quite a typical upgrade cycle in workstations, so the intention here is to give a good idea of the performance increase one might expect from an older machine. Another potential use case for high-density multi-GPU is workstation virtualisation using GPU passthrough, where each user gets a dedicated GPU. Again, this workflow looks well suited to the Lenovo ThinkStation P620, which can be configured with up to 64 CPU cores and 2TB of memory. AI denoising works by rendering a scene with fewer light ray bounces, resulting in a grainy image, then using deep learning to filter out the noise. Having learnt from 1,000s of image pairs (one noisy, one fuly rendered), it essentially predicts what the final image would have looked like if it had been left to render with more bounces.Despite the obvious attraction of Nvidia’s consumer GPUs, Nvidia’s ‘A’ class models should continue to find favour in large firms and enterprises that buy in volume, want more memory, consistent supply, pro viz features or the assurance of certification. There’s also the question of supply. As the global chip shortage continues to bite, Nvidia may well prioritise manufacture of its higher-margin pro GPUs, making GeForce even harder to get hold of. For our tests we focused predominantly on Solidworks Visualize. The name of this GPU-accelerated physically-based renderer is a bit misleading as it works with many more applications than the CAD application of the same name. It can import Creo, Solid Edge, Catia and Inventor, as well as several neutral formats.

While most CAD applications won’t benefit from any GPU more powerful that the Nvidia Quadro P1000 or P2200, Solidworks 2021 is an exception. By using OpenGL 4.5, a more modern version of the popular graphics API, more algorithms can be pushed onto the GPU so there is a benefit to higher performance GPUs. Production Branch drivers are designed and tested to provide long-term stability and availability, making these drivers ideal for enterprise customers and other users who require application and hardware certification from ISVs and OEMs respectively. The board features four DisplayPort 1.4a ports and can drive up to four displays at 5K resolution. It is cooled by a single ‘blower’ type fan, which draws in cool air from the top and bottom of the card, pushes it through a radiator and then directly out of the rear of the workstation chassis. This is in contrast to most consumer GeForce GPUs which use axial fans that recirculate air inside the machine. GPU rendering is nothing new; we’ve been writing about it in this magazine for ten years now. But 2019 could be the year that it really comes of age. While most of the renderers built into CAD applications still rely on the CPU, there are a growing number of impressive GPU renderers. These include SolidWorks Visualize, V-Ray NEXT GPU, Siemens Lightworks, Lumiscaphe, Catia Live Rendering or any renderer that uses Nvidia Iray. Even Luxion KeyShot, a die hard CPU renderer and one that is particuarly popular with product designers, was recently demonstrated running on Nvidia GPUs.

However, with the new OpenGL 4.5 beta graphics engine, which should make its way into Solidworks proper by the 2020 release, the Quadro RTX 4000 delivered a phenomenal 58 FPS at 4K resolution with RealView, shadows and Ambient Occlusion enabled. One, it supports Nvidia NVLink, so GPU memory can be expanded to 48 GB by connecting two 24 GB GPUs together. With many firms re-evaluating office space and working from home policies, we asked Adam Jull of IMSCAD about the role that virtual workstations can play Our designers need tools that unleash their creative freedom to design amazing buildings. Real-time rendering with the new Quadro RTX 4000 is unbelievably fast and smooth right out of the gate — no latency and the quality and accuracy of the lighting is outstanding. It will enable us to accelerate our workflow and let our designers focus on the design process without the technology slowing them down.” See the Quadro RTX 4000 at Autodesk University Enscape provided two real world datasets for our tests – a large residential building and a colossal commercial development. The GPU memory requirements for these models are quite substantial. The residential building uses 2.8GB @ FHD and 4.5GB @ 4K, while the commercial development uses 5.5GB @ FHD and 6.9GB @ 4K. This was fine for our tests, as all five GPUs feature 8GB or more.

For real time visualisation, the Quadro RTX 4000’s 8GB is probably plenty for most mainstream workflows. However, when it comes to GPU rendering, it can be restrictive. Memory requirements increase with the size the model, the HDR images and the textures, as well as with output resolution. DisplayPort 1.4 is standard across all four Quadro RTX GPUs. Also included is VirtualLink, a new open standard that can deliver power, display and data for next generation VR headsets through a single USB Type-C connector. Quadro RTX 4000 Support for large-scale, ultra-high resolution visualization using the NVIDIA ® SVS platform which includes NVIDIA ® Mosaic, NVIDIA ® Sync and NVIDIA ® Warp/Blend technologies So where does this leave us? At the moment, anyone investing in a Quadro RTX GPU can only use it in the same way they have used previous Quadro GPUs – just using its CUDA cores.The Production Branch driver is a superset of the NVIDIA Studio Driver and provides all the benefits of the Studio Driver of the same version, in addition to NVIDIA RTX-specific enhancements and testing. Deep learning frameworks such as Caffe2, MXNet, CNTK, TensorFlow, and others deliver dramatically faster training times However, with the new OpenGL 4.5 beta graphics engine, which should make its way into SolidWorks proper by the 2020 release, the Quadro RTX 4000 delivered a phenomenal 58 FPS at 4K resolution with RealView, shadows and Ambient Occlusion enabled.
