SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the need for a CAD benchmarking tool specifically for assessing 3D graphics performance in a virtualized environment using VMware Horizon. The user requires a solution that can provide metrics such as the number of quad faces, screen resolution, and frames per second (FPS) results, tailored for AutoCAD applications. Traditional gaming benchmarks are unsuitable for this purpose, prompting the search for a more relevant tool. A recommended resource is the Cadalyst benchmarking test, which may fulfill these requirements.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of VMware Horizon for virtual desktop infrastructure
  • Familiarity with AutoCAD software and its performance metrics
  • Knowledge of 3D graphics performance benchmarks
  • Experience with interpreting benchmarking results
NEXT STEPS
  • Research Cadalyst benchmarking tests for AutoCAD performance
  • Explore specialized CAD benchmarking tools beyond gaming benchmarks
  • Learn about performance metrics specific to virtualized CAD environments
  • Investigate VMware Horizon optimization techniques for graphics performance
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for IT architects, CAD professionals, and anyone involved in virtual desktop infrastructure planning, particularly those focused on optimizing 3D graphics performance in AutoCAD environments.

Hey guys,
Long term lurker here in PF, first time posting though, so here goes :)

I am working to help with a bid from an RFP for a Virtualized CAD Workstation environment on VMware Horizon (view). I am on the architectural side of things, not sales. One of the requirements is the ability to show a benchmark of the 3D graphics performance on the virtual Desktop. While I know our performance will be well above their requirements, I have to prove it! So, with that said, I need some kind of software to provide a benchmark. Most 3D graphics benchmarking tools are geared towards gaming, which will not be acceptable to our customer. Anyone know of anything I can use? Ideally, having the ability to know the number of quad faces, along with screen rez, and getting an FPS result...

Thanks!
