Saved 46% on 400 workstations by proving they didn't need RTX 5090s.
Challenge
- 400-engineer back office in Cairo, spec sheet calling for RTX 5090s on every machine.
- Projected spend: $1.8M on GPUs that would sit idle most of the day.
- Actual stack (Revit, AutoCAD, Navisworks) is CPU-bound — GPU barely matters.
What we shipped
- Declined the order at face value. Brought 3 machines on-site for a full week of testing.
- Tested on real 500MB Revit models with 5 benchmarks (Cinebench, Prime95, Revit, AutoCAD, Navisworks).
- GPUs performed within 1% of each other on the team's actual workload.
- Recommended RTX 4070 Super / RTX 5070 tier across the fleet, deployed in 8 phases through end of 2025.
