I'm guessing CAD and engineering uses?
1 comments

CAD doesn't really use GPU power, only a basic viewport that any integrated potato can render. Related simulation stuff (CFD, FEM) can be done with GPU compute but it seems that CPU is usually good enough.

Probably the most critical usage of GPUs is scientific simulations for biology/medicine, climate, space, etc.
