Graphics Workstations for Siemens NX
Understand NX's hardware requirements and pick the perfect 3XS Systems graphics workstation for your project
What GPU do I need for Siemens NX?
Siemens NX software can take advantage of GPU acceleration, but your choice of card should be determined by your usage. For simpler models an NVIDIA T-series GPU should suffice, whereas with more complex models we recommend looking at NVIDIA RTX GPUs.
When adding a GPU card, we would recommend a professional-grade card, as although their consumer counterparts may offer similar performance on paper, they are not certified for Siemens NX, so you may struggle to get support from the GPU manufacturer or Siemens should you encounter a software issue.
What storage does Siemens NX need?
We always recommend using an SSD for the boot drive that will host your OS, Siemens NX itself, and any active projects you are working on. The high speed of SSDs allows your system to boot, launch applications, and load files many times faster than any traditional hard drive. Alternatively, as your work projects increase you may want to consider a second SSD or higher capacity HDD - depending on your budget - so your OS, Siemens NX and live projects benefit from SSD speed, but your archived work uses the HDD where speed isn’t a necessity and costs can be lowered. Another archive solution could be to employ an external NAS device allowing sharing and RAID protection.
When it comes to deciding on drive capacity, this will very much depend on your number of files and the model sizes. You should also consider the space required by other applications and their associated files too.
