When I was finished using the card for this purpose I was able to keep the card for long term testing and usage.
$2250) to use and test as I felt necessary with whatever software I wanted. NVIDIA provided me with a Quadro 5000 graphics card (which retails for approx. The Quadro 5000 would let me experience the new GPU processing technology first hand.īefore we get started I’d like to give the full disclosure up front. My new license of BunkSpeed Shot showed up a while ago but I haven’t been able to try out the GPU rendering feature of the software because my FX 3700 didn’t support it. Second, I wanted to give GPU rendering a try. I don’t know the low card memory is causing or contributing to the error (it could be an issue with SolidWorks managing resources) but a good way to find out was try a new card.
I also quite often receive a very annoying, “your system is running low on SolidWorks resources” warning that I attribute to the 512mb of memory on the card. The 3700 hasn’t been a bad card for me but it’s based on older technology and the 512mb of on board RAM fell short at times while working on demanding assemblies inside of SolidWorks. I know most people would need their arm twisted to try out the latest hardware or software from a company but I jumped at the chance for a couple of reasons.įirst off, I wanted to see if this new NVIDIA card performed better than my current Quadro FX 3700. In September Brian Harrison from NVIDIA contacted me and asked if I’d be interested in trying out a new Quadro 5000 graphics card.
