Now available, the NVIDIA A16 Tensor Core GPU takes remote work to the next level. Combined with NVIDIA Virtual Apps (vApps), NVIDIA Virtual PC (vPC), or NVIDIA RTX™ Virtual Workstation (vWS) software, it enables virtual desktops and workstations with the power and performance to tackle projects from anywhere with performance indistinguishable from a native PC. Specifically designed and optimized for high-density, graphics-rich virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) and leveraging the NVIDIA Ampere architecture, NVIDIA A16 delivers up to 2x the user density, compared with the previous generation M10, reducing the amount of hardware resources needed and lowering the total cost of ownership (TCO), while ensuring the best possible user experience.

The ability to work effectively and effortlessly with a team of highly skilled colleagues is a decisive competitive advantage that leads to success. This is true on a basketball court or soccer field, but equally true and critical in a corporate environment, a movie special effect studio, or an architectural design firm. Due to COVID-19, today’s workforce is no longer centralized in a single location. It is very likely that your coworkers or business partners are spread across the country, if not across the world, so the ability of stakeholders to collaborate effectively is now a MUST HAVE for any corporation today.

NVIDIA Omniverse™ is an open platform built for virtual 3D design collaboration and real-time physically accurate simulation. Omniverse is comprised of multiple GPU accelerated applications and purpose-built connectors that allow Omniverse to work directly with third-party applications such as Unreal Engine from Epic Games, and popular creative tools from Autodesk, Adobe, Blender, Reallusion, Trimble, and more.

In this blog, we will go over the system requirements and the process to install Omniverse Open Beta inside a Windows 10 environment.

NVLink was introduced with the Pascal generation graphics processors in 2016. NVLink was developed to address the bandwidth limitations which the PCI-Express data path imposed as demand for high data throughput continues to accelerate.  Since its inception, NVIDIA improved the NVLink implementation and increased its bandwidth capability from a theoretical maximum of 80 GB/s bidirectional data throughput to 100 GB/s found on NVIDIA Quadro RTX 8000 and NVIDIA Quadro RTX 6000 graphics boards. With the latest Ampere architecture-based NVIDIA RTX A6000 professional graphics card, NVLink now provides up to 112GB/s of bidirectional data transfer between two connected NVIDIA RTX A6000 graphics boards.

PNY recently caught up with Clinton Jones, a director, photographer and visual effects artist, as well as the Judge in PNY's latest contest, to get his feedback on his transition from using a consumer graphics card to the professional NVIDIA^® Quadro^® RTX™ 6000.  

What is your experience working with the NVIDIA Quadro RTX™ 6000 so far?

"It’s been incredible. The 24GBs of Vram and its RTX capability has sped up my workflow by a considerable amount. I can create much larger 3D scenes, navigate them smoothly, and render a lot faster."

SOLIDWORKS is a computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided engineering (CAE) application from Dassault Systèmes. This highly versatile and capable software lets designers quickly sketch out ideas, experiment with different features, and produce models or detailed engineering drawings.

In SOLIDWORKS 2019, Dassault Systèmes introduced an experimental feature that offloads additional rendering operations from the CPU to powerful NVIDIA^® GPUs. It’s called “Enhanced graphics performance” under the “Performance” sub-menu. By leveraging NVIDIA Quadro’s Open GL 4.5 hardware acceleration, this setting adds significant improvement during pan, zoom and rotate in the part or assembly environment. The performance scales up with higher end graphics cards, so it is ideally suited to High-end and beyond NVIDIA Quadro^® RTX^™ and NVIDIA RTX professional graphics products.
