Autodesk Inventor Pro is a standard tool in mechanical design that combines parametric modeling, large assemblies and simulation-based workflows in one environment. This is precisely why Inventor is very well suited for evaluating workstation graphics cards in a practical manner. The InvMark add-on maps typical Inventor subtasks and condenses the results into scores using the geometric mean, which reflect the real interaction speed in the viewport and during drawing-related operations. It is important to separate the GPU-relevant sub-areas from purely processor-related tests.
Some single-threaded and multi-threaded benchmarks, such as ray tracing, are primarily CPU load and they hardly influence the choice of graphics card. I have therefore deliberately left them out of the chart package. They were nevertheless measured, but the differences are small, as expected. They are of course included in the overall score.
Total score
The NVIDIA RTX A1000 is ahead in the overall score with 62018 points, closely followed by the Intel Arc Pro B50 with 60620 points. The AMD Radeon Pro W7500 follows with 58698 points. The RTX A1000 thus narrowly wins the InvMark, its lead over the Arc Pro B50 is only around 2.3 percent, while the B50 is around 3.3 percent ahead of the W7500. In practice, this means that all three cards run Inventor smoothly, but the ranking is in favor of the A1000 in mixed workflows.
Graphics
In the graphics sub-ranking, the RTX A1000 came out on top with 1618 points, the Arc Pro B50 achieved 1545 points and the Radeon Pro W7500 1378 points. This puts NVIDIA around 4.7 percent ahead of Intel, while Intel is around 12 percent ahead of AMD. In heavily viewport-heavy 3D scenes, such as when rotating and shading larger assemblies, the lead is noticeable.
Drawing
The differences in drawing operations are very small. The RTX A1000 achieves 1722 points, the Arc Pro B50 1710 points and the W7500 1657 points. NVIDIA is only around 0.7 percent ahead of Intel here, while both are separated from AMD by around 3 to 4 percent. For classic 2D derivations and dimensioned drawings, all three cards are almost on a par, with slight advantages for the A1000 and B50.
Dynamic SIM
In the dynamic simulation, the RTX A1000 shows the largest gap with 2484 points, the Arc Pro B50 achieves 2095 points and the W7500 2013 points. This puts NVIDIA around 18.6 percent ahead of Intel and around 23.4 percent ahead of AMD. Those who frequently work with simulation views in Inventor and visualize interactive processes will benefit the most here.
Assembly constraint
The picture is slightly different for assembly constraints. With 1800 points, the Arc Pro B50 is just ahead of the RTX A1000 with 1778 points, followed by the W7500 with 1731 points. The B50 has a lead of around 1.2 percent over NVIDIA and just under 4 percent over AMD. In assemblies with many dependencies, this results in slightly more direct handling.
Assembly pattern
The RTX A1000 is once again in the lead in the assembly pattern with 1886 points, just ahead of the Arc Pro B50 with 1865 points. The W7500 is well behind with 1572 points. The gap between the A1000 and B50 is just over 1 percent, but both are almost 20 percent ahead of AMD. Repeated feature patterns and large patterns thus benefit from the two top-ranked cards.
Conclusion
Inventor Pro 2021 shows a clear but overall narrow hierarchy. The RTX A1000 delivers the highest overall score and is particularly strong in Graphics, Dynamic SIM and Assembly Pattern. The Arc Pro B50 follows very closely, impressing with the best result in Assembly Constraint and stable values in all other sub-areas. The Radeon Pro W7500 remains competitive, but falls visibly behind in graphics and simulation-heavy tasks, but keeps up well in Drawing. Those who use Inventor widely are best served with the RTX A1000 at the upper end, but the Arc Pro B50 is the balanced alternative with selective strengths in complex assemblies, while the Radeon Pro W7500 is more recommended for more drawing-heavy workflows.
