NVIDIA RTX A4500 and RTX A4000 – sweet spot solutions for most SOLIDWORKS users – combine the NVIDIA Ampere GPU architecture with the latest memory and display technologies, to deliver the best balance of performance, features, and benefits for SOLIDWORKS design professionals. Enjoy greater fluidity with photorealistic rendering, experience faster performance with AI-enhanced features, and benefit from lifelike VR experiences when evaluating ergonomics. With dual-slot (RTX A4500) and single-slot (RTX A4000) options the power of NVIDIA RTX is available to the broadest range of workstation system enclosures.

New interactive CAE tools assist SOLIDWORKS workflows by providing instantaneous 3D simulation, tightly coupled with direct geometry modeling, to enable interactive design exploration and rapid product innovation. This allows designers and engineers to manipulate geometry, material types or physics inputs, then instantaneously see changes in performance, to test more design iterations in a shorter amount of time, perform feasibility studies on new concepts, and bring product to market faster.

The NVIDIA RTX A4500 and RTX A4000 are both VR ready professional GPUs that provide product design teams lifelike VR experiences. These benefit everything from design optimization and reviews, human factors design (ergonomics), to early identification of design flaws. The ability to deliver virtual showrooms, provide realistic safety, service, and maintenance training, even collaboratively with NVIDIA Omniverse Enterprise, make VR an essential productivity and quality multiplier for your design workflow.

Physically-based rendering gives product designers and engineers accurate and predictable visualization of how their products will appear in real life. With the NVIDIA RTX A4500 or RTX A4000, engineers and designers can make design modifications, such as changing materials, and view the effects interactively, even when working with the largest and most complex 3D models. Instead of waiting several minutes or even hours for the creation of photorealistic renders, real-time ray traced renders in the application viewport means that designers remain in the creative flow and can iterate faster to explore more design approaches. Meet the challenge of today’s demanding professional workflows with the NVIDIA RTX A4500 or RTX A4000. The NVIDIA Ampere architecture and the NVIDIA RTX platform, fully supported by SOLIDWORKS Visualize, fuses GPU accelerated ray trading, advanced shading, and AI to give designers the power to create with reduced time to insight and faster time to design decisions to deliver finished products.

The NVIDIA RTX A4500’s 7168 CUDA Cores deliver up to 23.7 TFLOPS of FP32 performance. 224 2nd generation Tensor Cores yield 189.2 TFLOPS of Tensor performance, and 56 2nd generation RT Cores provide 46.2 TFLOPS – all complimented by 20GB of GDDR6 memory with ECC and 640 GB/s of memory bandwidth. NVLink support is also available for GPU memory pooling and performance scaling (application support required). The RTX A4000’s 6144 CUDA Cores 19.2 TFLOPS of FP32, 192 2nd generation Tensor Core 153.4 TFLOPS, and 48 2nd generation RT Cores 37.4 TFLOPS, all benefit from 16GB GDDR6 ECC memory with 448 GB/s of memory bandwidth. These results, particularly the Tensor Core performance and GPU memory capacity, provides the compute power to enable generative design tools to optimize a design, or explore new manufacturing methods, or a specific parameter like lightweighting of a specific component. Performance can be scaled in conjunction with data center or cloud-based hosted hardware, enabling innovations in design, fabrication techniques and materials utilized like never before.
