If you’re a professional that frequently works with CAD programs and you’re not really convinced mobile workstations can be a worthy desktop replacement, hear us out.

MSI has performed some tests using the SPECviewperf11 OpenGL Benchmark test on its latest GT70 2OK and GT60 2OK – 3k IPS Edition CAD laptops and the results show their graphics cards are more efficient than those found in desktop computers.

MSI VP, Eric Kuo reminded customers that being “certificated by Autodesk, Solidworks and other varies independent software vendor (ISV), MSI CAD Laptop's awesome features - exclusive Super RAID 2 technology, matrix display supports up to 4 monitors and the unique cooling system- Cooler Boost 2 technology - increase not only efficiency at work, but also provide more stable and faster working environment for professionals.“

“The latest MSI Mobile CAD Laptops series, GT70 2OK and GT60 2OK - 3K IPS Edition, featured with K3100M NVIDIA Quadro graphics card, were created for all types of work environments and professionals, such as designers, architects, and video production houses.”

The benchmarks showed that the Quadro K3100M graphics found in the laptops were more efficient than the Quadro 5000 card found in desktops, while running Solidworks. The proven efficiency amounts to 150% better results.

MSI notes that this is the first time mobile graphics performance has been shown to surpass that of a desktop computer.

The latest NVIDIA Kepler GPU Quadro K3100 graphics card has 738 cores and works in concert with Intel’s 4th gen Core i7 processor and Windows 8 Pro / Windows 7 to provide the best performance for software like SiemensNX, SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Autodesk 3Ds Max, Maya and Adobe Premier Pro.

MSI’s CAD laptops can also be paired with up to 4 HD monitors to provide an advanced working environment for hardcore multitasking professionals.
