Both use the DirectX API to 'talk' to the GPUĢ. The guy making the video is a very experienced professional CAD administrator who frequently has to deal with just these questions in a company that uses 100+ seats of Autodesk Inventor and his performance tests are based purely on that CAD application.Īlso, there are 2 areas where Autodesk Inventor and Fusion 360 are very similar.ġ.

So why am I am referring to Autodesk Inventor and that youtube video? Even graphics performance appears to be very CPU ( not GPU) dependent.

Here is a very interesting YouTube video, which compares different graphics cards in the context of Autodesk Inventor. The Quadro/Firepro graphics cards are OpenGL optimized graphics card.įusion 360 and Autodesk inventor do NOT use Open GL but DirectX. I thought I just answered that question in my last post! Your opinion, would it be better to stick with the GTX 1660 Super for Fusion 360 or should I buy a Quadro/Firepro GPU in the same price range? I'm just not sure how much performance is to be gained with one of these CAD focused GPUs over a GTX card in the same price range.
