AUTOCAD

For many years, @Xi Computers has been building, designing and configuring the mostly optimized workstation for use with Autodesk AutoCAD, with the goal of delivering the absolute best performance and reliability, fitting the client’s budget and greatly surpassing his expectations.

During Modeling and Design activities, AutoCAD® will not take advantage of many CPU cores. The best performance for such tasks is achieved with the fastest top core speed. The Intel® i7 and i9 are favored to the XEON® CPU delivering the best performance/price ratio. AutoCAD rendering will take full advantage of multiple cores and hyper thread capabilities. The i7-13700KF currently represents the optimal value with 8 Performance-cores + 8 Efficient-cores with a high Turbo Boost clock spread. @Xi also provides professionally overclock versions, favoring an absolute top core or all cores at higher frequency to deliver optimal balanced Design and Rendering AutoCAD performance. Autodesk certification is mainly for NVIDIA RTX™ (previously Quadro) Professional Graphics for AutoCAD however GeForce RTX™ video cards provide a better performance/price ratio due to the DirectX 11 optimized architecture. @Xi is supporting both Quadro and GeForce video cards use with AutoCAD. SSD drives are a must and faster NVMe M.2 recommended when dealing with big drawings. For budgets and requirements beyond the Platinum configuration, Threadripper™ PRO series and XEON CPU can be custom quoted.
