AMD FirePro™ vs. Nvidia Quadro: SolidWorks 2013
See the performance gains of using AMD FirePro W5000 graphics cards with SolidWorks 2013.
MORE ACCURATE DESIGNS WITH NEW GPU-ACCELERATED TRANSPARENCY MODE
Order Independent Transparency (OIT) is now available for SolidWorks 2014. OIT provides a “pixel-accurate” representation of the model and its surrounding geometry and runs much faster than the traditional blended mode because it is accelerated by the AMD FirePro GPU. This creates a more practical transparent 3D viewpoint for designers to continuously work within, helping improve the user’s sense of “design intuition” and aid in better decision-making throughout the product development stages.
Powerful Real-time previews with Realview™
AMD FirePro™ Professional Graphics unleashes the power of RealView® and brings your models to life. SolidWorks® 2012 now offers advanced shading in real time with RealView and Ambient Occlusion, which delivers outstanding depth and realism helping reduce the need for ray-traced rendering.
accurate designS with Anti‑Aliasing
The new GeometryBoost means high-quality features like Full-Scene Anti-Aliasing (FSAA) can be turned on in SolidWorks permanently.
FSAA helps remove coarse edges from contours of geometries in real-time. This results in high-quality visuals and amazingly accurate representation of designs.
Advanced Workflow Performance for CAE
AMD FirePro™ Professional Graphics helps accelerate your simulation. Enabled by OpenCL™, AMD FirePro™ Professional Graphics can be used to help accelerate calculations in Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) software such as Finite Element Analysis (FEA) – tasks traditionally carried out by CPUs. For example, the time taken to carry out structural and multiphysics analysis in the OpenCL™ version of Abaqus from DS Simulia can be cut using a high-end AMD FirePro™ Professional graphics card.
Superior HIGHER PRODUCTIVITY WITH MULTIPLE DISPLAYS
AMD FirePro™ Professional Graphics with AMD Eyefinity technology is the best choice your multi-display workflows². This helps support advanced design workflows, where SolidWorks users switch between applications including SolidWorks Simulation and PhotoView 360. Other tasks, such as part and assembly modeling, data management, email and spreadsheets are all available at the click of a button.
