ROI Calculator

With the right hardware, you can dramatically increase your performance in CAD applications. And with this ROI calculator, you can find out by how much. Determine how many hours you'll save on each project or see how short the payback period is on upgrades. Input your unique usage data to get customized results based on how and what you design.

To get started, simply enter user data in the top section, then what current graphics cards you are using and which upgrades you are considering.

Results in the ROI tool were calculated based on a workstation with XEON 3.3GHz (w5590), 6GB RAM using SolidWorks 2011. NVIDIA® Quadro® FX 1700/3700/4600 GPUs run on Windows XP SP2 64-bit; Quadro 2000/4000/5000 GPUs run on Windows 7 SP1 64-bit. Results for other CAD applications, such as Inventor, may vary.
