Let’s first focus on the one component that is ultimately the Achilles heel of the gaming computer: the GPU. It’s when you dissect the nuances of computer hardware and really begin to understand the different families of processors, GPUs, or even the different types of RAM that all go into a precision class workstation, that you’ll begin to see why gaming computers just don’t cut it. Most gaming computers come spec’ed with higher-end Intel i7 processors, 32GB of RAM, and expensive 4GB graphics processors (GPU) – surely, a computer with those specs should be enough for SOLIDWORKS… It’s incredibly easy for someone to take a look at the components list of a high-powered gaming computer and come to the conclusion that it should have enough power for CAD/CAM. However, there are a few key reasons why gaming computers actually make pretty terrible options for CAD/CAM workstations. And yes, you could even do some modeling with the gaming computer. In fact, most gaming computers would accept an installation of SOLIDWORKS. I just built an expensive gaming computer, can I use it to run SOLIDWORKS/Mastercam as well?” That SOLIDWORKS workstation question is some variation of this: Consequently, there seems to be one common question that we get from CAD/CAM folk across that wide array of industries. Here at SolidBox, we encounter SOLIDWORKS and Mastercam users from a vast amount of industries.
