AutoCAD 2024 is one of the most widely used applications in the CAD sector and therefore a key benchmark for workstation graphics cards. With the Cadalyst Benchmark Suite, the performance can be broken down into clearly separated sub-areas so that differences between the tested cards are not only visible across the board, but in detail. The benchmarks are divided into an overall score and the individual results for 3D graphics, 2D graphics, hard disk performance and CPU performance.
Total score
The NVIDIA RTX A1000 achieves the top score in the overall result with 1152 points. The Intel Arc Pro B50 is close behind with 1046 points, while the AMD Radeon Pro W7500 falls behind with 981 points. This shows that NVIDIA’s card is ahead in the sum of 2D and 3D performance, but the Arc Pro B50 occupies a solid midfield position and wins the direct comparison with the W7500.
3D performance
The RTX A1000 shows its strengths in 3D rendering and achieves a clear lead with 2735 points. The Arc Pro B50 follows with 2315 points, putting it well ahead of the W7500 with 2004 points. For users who edit complex 3D models in AutoCAD, this shows a clear order: NVIDIA at the top, Intel well ahead, AMD behind.
2D performance
2D performance is a different story. Here, the Radeon Pro W7500 is at the top with 915 points, followed by the Arc Pro B50 with 865 points. The RTX A1000 only comes in third place with 832 points. AMD therefore offers the best results for classic 2D design environments in which lines, hatching and drawings dominate.
Disk performance
The measurements for hard disk performance are close together. With 485 points, the RTX A1000 is just ahead of the Radeon Pro W7500 with 483 points, while the Arc Pro B50 is only slightly behind with 476 points. These differences are hardly noticeable in practice and depend more on the test platform than on the graphics card itself.
CPU performance
The RTX A1000 is also ahead in terms of CPU performance, achieving 558 points. The Arc Pro B50 achieves 538 points and the Radeon Pro W7500 521 points. Since AutoCAD is heavily CPU-bound in many operations, these values show that there are also differences here, albeit not as serious as in 3D performance.
Conclusion
The results show a clear picture: Those who use AutoCAD 2024 with a focus on 3D workflows will benefit most from the RTX A1000, which comes out on top in the overall score. The Arc Pro B50 positions itself as a balanced all-rounder with good 3D results and a respectable 2D score, while the Radeon Pro W7500 scores particularly well in classic 2D applications, but falls behind in 3D. The choice therefore depends heavily on the focus of the application: NVIDIA for 3D-heavy projects, AMD for pure 2D workflows and Intel as a solid middle position with the advantage of a larger memory expansion.
