SolidWorks is a 3D CAD software developed by Dassault Systèmes and widely used in industries such as mechanical engineering, aerospace and product design. The software provides tools for product design, simulation, technical documentation, and data management. With SolidWorks, engineers and designers can model and analyze complex parts, assemblies, and drawings in an interactive environment.
Because SolidWorks is a power-intensive application, certain hardware requirements are necessary to run it efficiently. A powerful multi-core processor is recommended to process computational operations quickly. Adequate memory (RAM), often 16 GB or more, is important, especially for larger or more complex designs. A dedicated graphics card with certified drivers is also beneficial, as it is optimized specifically for CAD applications and improves visuals and interactivity. Add to that enough hard drive or SSD space to store the software, project data and additional resources.
Let’s look at the GPU Composit Score first. Again, I did the sorting of the first bar chart without FSAA. The second chart contains the same results, but in descending sort order with FSAA. Let’s start without FSAA first and see a similar picture as with PTC Creo 9. AMD is once again ahead and manages to win in the cumulative benchmark. But what happens when you want more than just crumbly podiums?
The same thing happens as just happened with Creo 9. Aliasing, often described as “staircase effect”, always occurs when diagonal or curved lines appear jagged or interrupted in a pixel-based display. FSAA remedies this by taking multiple samples per pixel and then averaging these samples to determine the final color value of the pixel. This averaging smooths out the hard edges and produces a softer, more realistic image. And that’s exactly what hits most Radeon Pro then again quite hard and NVIDIA catches up tremendously and the RTX 6000 Ada is ahead again. The Radeon Pro W7800 is even clearly behind the older W6800.
Partial benchmarks
I also have a few exemplary screenshots from the running runs, which show what is actually being processed there.
For the individual results, the same applies as already for Creo 9:
- 1 - Introduction, test system and software
- 2 - Autodesk AutoCAD 2024
- 3 - Autodesk Inventor Pro 2021
- 4 - PTC Creo 9 - No FSAA vs. FSAA
- 5 - Dassault Systèmes Solidworks 2022 - No FSAA vs. FSAA
- 6 - SPECviewperf 2020
- 7 - Adobe CC: Photoshop
- 8 - Adobe CC: Premiere Pro
- 9 - Adobe CC: After Effects
- 10 - Rendering and GPU compute
- 11 - Power consumption and conclusion
