I had Inventor running with Fusion (and a download) in the background. The Quadro 5000M however was a slightly different story. I tried numerous methods to get past this, but I could not. The zoom distance went to the ‘Steering Wheel Pivot Point’ but no farther. Nothing bad by any means, just occasional, barely noticeable pauses. The Comparison Quadro FX 2700M was a bit edgy with only Inventor running (and this document in the background). I am looking for two factors: How hesitant the zoom is, and how far I can zoom. Then while keeping both mesh and translucent edges overlapped in the view, zoom in at a consistent speed. Add slice graphics to the view and use the Steering Wheel zoom function. The Zoom TestĪnother set of tests that generally gets the GPU to bog down begin by adjusting the view angle such that multiple translucent components are between the viewer and a very tightly meshed FEA subject. Navigating from one result page to the next was quite fast. The colors were vibrant and edges were well defined. The Stress Analysis results shown to the right are the displacement of the Industrial Machinery base after placing 2000 pounds on it. While I have no clear method to measure these values, I ran the same simulations on both machines and came up with very nice results. The NVIDIA Fermi technology pumps some of the Finite Entity Analysis (FEA) calculations to the GPU, subsequently the CPU is freed up do more of the general instructions. It took 2 minutes, 30 seconds to complete. It was rendered in Inventor Studio at 1024×768, with good anti-aliasing. The image to the right contains the factory sample dataset, with over a thousand parts. When compared to the FX 2700M, the selection highlights were a bit crisper, and somewhat faster, especially with the larger assemblies. The multi-thousand part factory assembly took a bit more time, but was still very fast. Selecting the entire 300 part RC car assembly resulted in a slight pause that was less than a second. The Quadro 5000M’s reaction time was fast. The more components piled into an assembly, the slower the visual cues become. One thing that has always plagued graphics cards has been selection preview updates. In short, there was nothing in the performance of the Quadro 5000M that would be considered a let down, and it was definitely a pleasure to use. The NVIDIA Quadro 5000M still outperformed the comparison machine. While a graphics card isn’t going to fix that slow CPU or limited RAM, it is interesting to note that the comparison Dell Mobile Workstation was equipped with a faster CPU than that of our subject HP 8740w. In terms of modeling performance, I couldn’t identify an area where the Quadro 5000M was lacking when compared with any other graphics card I have experienced. General component movement, manipulation, and zoom functionality was smooth.

Selection Previews were snappy, with sharp edges and vivid colors.

Translucent objects were displayed well.

Renders were quite beautiful, and colors were rich and deep.

Overall Impressionįirst let me say that the overall feel of the graphics was smooth. These were the test subjects of numerous Stress Analysis (FEA), Simulation, and Rendering workflows. I was also furnished with some more complex datasets, such as the multi-thousand component Industrial Machinery Mechatronics model, and the RC car model, which contained just shy of 300 components. Throughout the testing process, I modeled various components to evaluate the stability and general feeling of how the Quadro 5000M would behave during normal everyday activities. The Quadro FX 2700M is hosted by a Dell Precision M6400. In this way, more of you can get a tangible feel for what kind of improvements we are talking about. Therefore, I will occasionally reference the NVIDIA Quadro FX 2700M as a unit of comparison. Unfortunately, that score does little to convey a real feeling of what can be expected while using the graphics card. In order to explain how well the Quadro performed, I’ll later refer to the SPECViewperf benchmark. Unfortunately, as of this time, I haven’t reached the Quardo 5000M’s limits. I’d love nothing more than to say I broke it, and exactly where the breaking point was. Why sad? I can usually bog a graphics card’s output with large selections, simulation, and rendering. My question was, “Can I break the little bugger?” Well, I’m a bit sad to say, no.

NVIDIA Quadro 5000M Review Intro and SpecificationsĪ little while back I introduced the NVIDIA 5000M graphics card to you (housed in the Hewlett Packard EliteBook 8740w mobile workstation), and gave some background for the hardware and software that makes that awesome little package go.
