Autodesk Inventor 2021 is an advanced 3D CAD software for product development and mechanical engineering. It offers parametric and free-form modeling capabilities, allowing users to design both standard and complex geometries. In the area of assembly modeling, it allows engineers to design and assemble components in a realistic, virtual environment. With specialized tools for sheet metal design, designs can be created with folds, bends and other specific features.
The program also supports the design of piping systems and electrical cable runs. To verify design integrity, users can access simulation tools, including stress analysis and thermal studies. For presentations and documentation, Inventor offers advanced visualization capabilities, including realistic renderings and automatic 2D drawing generation from 3D models. Interoperability is also a core feature, with users able to import and export CAD data from multiple sources. In addition, the software offers integrated data management features and cloud connectivity for improved collaboration and data storage.
InvMark covers almost all of these areas of Inventor (Pro) with its comprehensive benchmark and is a really good gauge of Autodesk system performance. Unfortunately, I can only fall back on the 2021 version here, but nothing should have changed much in terms of general performance. Since Inventor (like AutoCAD) is also from Autodesk, the findings here should be similar. Inventor is often enough in CPU-bound with not very many concurrent threads and so it suits me once more that I equipped the workstation with an Intel CPU this time.
We can see from the summarized bar chart that it almost doesn’t matter which GPU you use for the overall result. Again, NVIDIA has a bit of an advantage, but it’s worth looking at the individual benchmarks because a lot is hidden by the averaged score here. The marginal differences of the first cards are rather due to the CPU and the system, but this can hardly be avoided even with several iterations (up to five in my case).
If one refers purely to the drawing, then the order corresponds to the expectations, whereby the AMD cards also have a large disadvantage here, as with AutoCAD. AMD really has to optimize the driver once again, because a lot of potential is wasted. We’ll see that it can be done differently later.
Partial benchmarks
I have deliberately left out the benchmarks that are completely related to the CPU, because it only confuses in the end and it is always about the same CPU. The most important partial graphics is already in the previous paragraph, here comes the rest now.
