The SSDs we use are M.2 form factor and use the NVMe protocol, which means they take up no additional space in your case, and are much faster than standard 2.5” SATA SSDs. Having everything stored on SSDs means you’ll be able to save and load programs, and also transfer data, at incredible speeds. Recently it’s become more viable to just use a larger SSD, from around 500GB to 1TB, and this is exactly our approach with our PCs. Solid State Drives are known to be much faster than mechanical hard drives, but they’re also seen as pretty expensive.
Storage technology has come a long way over the past decade. Apart from the higher speed, DDR5 features a lot of architectural differences that widen the gap in performance over DDR4. 32GB RAM will also leave enough headroom to run other applications, as well as making the computer a lot more future proof.Īs mentioned in the CPU section, Intel's newest CPUs support DDR5 memory which runs much faster than DDR4. We therefore recommend at least 16GB RAM as a starting point, but if 32GB RAM fits in your budget it would be the best choice. Inventor can use a lot of RAM if you are working with large, complex assemblies.
Autodesk recommended graphics cards series#
This card also lets you connect to multiple monitors or monitors with a higher resolution and framerate.ĭepending on what else you plan on using your workstation for, you might want to think about a higher performance graphics card, like an RTX series card. Autodesk recommends a 4GB graphics card, so the GTX1650 would be a great choice. In fact, you would probably get much higher performance from a similarly priced Nvidia GeForce GPU, which is why we prefer sticking to those. Similar programs like SolidWorks benefit from the features of a Nvidia Quadro card, but this kind of graphics card is not necessary for Inventor. If you can afford the premium though, Intel's 12th gen CPUs are very well balanced for Inventor - excellent single thread performance, a lot of cores, and they're extremely futureproof too. With pricing on DDR5 RAM being as high as it is right now, you may find that an AMD Ryzen system is a better fit for your personal workflow. This is also true for a lot of modelling commands, like most geometry modelling and freeform commands.
Rendering is one of these areas, along with view related commands like zoom, pan and rotate. While it is true that an Inventor workstation is generally a single-threaded application, there are some workflows which benefit from having more cores. Another benefit is compatibility with DDR5 memory CPU – Core Count These CPUs can reach very high frequencies, and their instructions per clock are great as well. For this reason, we’d recommend an Intel Alder Lake CPU for your Inventor workstation. This program prioritizes speed over core count. The benchmarks above show how CPU performance can very between generations and platforms.Ī Threadripper is better for multi-threaded tasks, but is outperformed by a much more affordable Ryzen 7 in single-threaded processes.Ī previous generation i9 costs more than the Ryzen 7 and even has a higher boost frequency (5.0GHz vs 4.7GHz) but is outperformed in both areas.
