G6 Forge M — RTX 2000 Ada Mid Professional Workstation for SolidWorks Large Assemblies and CATIA
Description
G6 Forge M — Professional Workstation with ISV-Certified GPU for SolidWorks Large Assemblies, CATIA, and ANSYS
The G6 Forge M carries an ISV-certified professional GPU — an Nvidia RTX A-series card with 12GB ECC VRAM running the certified driver stack for SolidWorks, CATIA V5/V6, and ANSYS Mechanical. 64GB DDR5 keeps large SolidWorks assemblies with PDM, CATIA complex surface models, and COMSOL running without paging to disk. The Core Ultra 9 285KF provides the fastest available single-thread performance for parametric rebuild on large assemblies. ISV-certified drivers confirm stable, correct behaviour in professional software — enabling SolidWorks RealView, supporting CATIA viewport rendering correctly, and carrying ECC GPU memory that detects and corrects single-bit calculation errors. From £3189.99, built and stress-tested in Wolverhampton. The Forge M features in our CAD workstations and engineering workstations ranges.
If your workflow requires ANSYS Fluent GPU solver in certified mode, COMSOL GPU-accelerated solver, or CATIA at the scale of complex multi-body surface histories with 128GB system RAM, the G6 Forge H with 128GB and a 20GB ECC professional GPU is the correct step up. Call Kevin before you order if you are on the boundary.

G6 Forge M — Full Specification
ISV-certified Nvidia RTX A-series GPU with 12GB ECC VRAM, Core Ultra 9 285KF, and 64GB DDR5 — the professional mid-tier configuration for large assembly SolidWorks, CATIA mid-scale, and ANSYS Mechanical with certified driver support.
Why This Specification for Professional Mid CAD and Engineering
Every component in the Forge M is chosen for the specific demands of large assembly SolidWorks, mid-scale CATIA surface modelling, and ANSYS Mechanical with ISV-certified driver support.
RTX 2000 Ada 12GB: ISV-certified at the professional mid tier
12GB ECC VRAM with certified drivers handles SolidWorks large assembly visualisation, CATIA complex surface rendering in the viewport, and Revit large model viewing without the VRAM constraints that limit the 8GB A1000 on complex geometry. The 2000 Ada is the correct professional mid-tier card for practices where project complexity has outgrown entry — validated for SolidWorks, CATIA, and ANSYS by Nvidia's ISV programme.
64GB: large assembly and simulation scale without paging
64GB handles SolidWorks assemblies with 500+ parts alongside PDM, CATIA complex surface models, and Revit with multi-discipline linked files without paging to disk. The step from 32GB to 64GB is where large assembly work becomes consistently responsive throughout the working day rather than stalling mid-session. Also covers COMSOL mid-scale simulation with model data and solver matrices in memory during a solve.
Core Ultra 9: sustained single-core for heavy parametric rebuild
Large SolidWorks assemblies with complex mate relationships and CATIA surface models with extensive feature histories run on single-threaded calculations during rebuild. The Core Ultra 9 285KF provides the fastest sustained single-thread performance in this platform — directly determining how long a 500-part SolidWorks rebuild takes. The time saving on a rebuild that happens dozens of times a day across a project compounds significantly.
Production-grade reliability at professional mid scale
At the scale of a 500-part SolidWorks assembly or a complex CATIA surface model, a viewport crash or driver instability costs significant lost time. The professional driver stack and ECC GPU memory on the 2000 Ada provide the stability tier that production CAD environments require. Professional drivers are updated on a stable, tested release cycle — not alongside consumer gaming feature releases that occasionally introduce application-specific regressions.
What the G6 Forge M Handles
Confirmed software performance at the G6 Forge M specification. All CAD and engineering software runs with ISV-certified drivers on the Nvidia RTX 2000 Ada 12GB.
Performance descriptors are indicative. Actual performance depends on project complexity, settings, and system configuration. Kevin can advise on the right spec for your specific workflow.
The Forge S Ceiling Is Specific. The Forge M Removes It.
The moment a professional CAD user identifies the need to step up from entry-level certified hardware is usually specific. In SolidWorks, it is the assembly that slows noticeably above 200 parts on 32GB, or the viewport that cannot render complex assembly shading with fine detail at a comfortable frame rate on 8GB VRAM. In CATIA, it is the surface model with a deep feature history and multiple bodies that produces sluggish section updates or slow multi-body Boolean operations on a 32GB machine. In Revit, it is the multi-discipline model — architectural, structural, and MEP linked — that starts paging when all linked files are open simultaneously on 32GB. Each of these is a 32GB to 64GB problem and an 8GB to 12GB ECC VRAM problem. The Forge M addresses both.
The ANSYS buyer on the Forge M is running Mechanical simulations at mid-scale — structural FEA, modal analysis, thermal models — using the CPU solver with the ISV-certified GPU handling pre- and post-processing and viewport operations. This covers the majority of structural engineering firm requirements at the professional mid tier. For ANSYS Fluent CFD with GPU solver certification, COMSOL GPU-accelerated solver, or CATIA at the scale of the most complex multi-body surface designs with 128GB required, the G6 Forge H is the correct machine — and Kevin will tell you this honestly rather than selling a higher specification when the Forge M is adequate for your workflow.

See all reviews"I have been using Ginger 6 since 2014 for gaming PCs for wife and myself. That's 5 purchased in total. Never had a technical issue with any of the builds and the only reason for new purchases is technical obsolescence. Highly recommend them."
"I took delivery of my W11 Games PC earlier this year, following excellent advice from Ginger6 Computers. They were generous with their time and knowledge, and everything is working to perfection."
"I upgraded my PC to one that was Windows 11 compatible. I have been using it for about 3 months with no problems. The service from Ginger 6 has been great."
Built by Hand in Wolverhampton
Every G6 Forge M is assembled with the professional GPU driver stack installed and confirmed, then tested at sustained CAD workload before dispatch. Professional driver stability is verified before the machine ships.
Before the build begins, the configuration is reviewed against your software, assembly scale, and simulation requirements. If you have spoken to Kevin, the spec is confirmed against your typical SolidWorks part count, your CATIA surface model complexity, and whether ANSYS simulation is a primary or secondary workload. The Core Ultra 9 285KF and Z890 Eagle WIFI7 are verified for LGA1851 compatibility. The RTX 2000 Ada professional GPU is staged with the correct certified driver version. Components are staged before assembly.
The Forge M is assembled by hand in Wolverhampton. Cables are routed inside the Corsair 4000D to maintain clear airflow to the RTX 2000 Ada and the 360mm radiator and accessible maintenance paths. BIOS settings and DDR5 memory profiles are confirmed at 64GB before the 24-hour test begins. The Nvidia professional driver stack is installed and the RTX 2000 Ada is confirmed operational under the certified driver — not the consumer gaming driver — before the test starts. Both NVMe drives are formatted and confirmed.
Every Forge M runs under sustained CPU and GPU load for a full day before it ships. The test replicates the sustained demand of a long professional CAD session — viewport operations, assembly rebuild, and simulation pre-processing running continuously. Professional driver stability is confirmed: no viewport warnings, no instability during sustained GPU load. Windows 11 Pro, certified professional drivers, and both NVMe drives are confirmed before packaging.

G6 Forge M — Common Questions
The Forge M is built around the specific scale where SolidWorks performance on entry hardware becomes a daily frustration: assemblies regularly above 200 to 300 parts. 64GB DDR5 keeps a 500-part assembly with mates, configurations, and SolidWorks PDM running without paging to disk. The Core Ultra 9 285KF's single-thread speed reduces rebuild time on large assemblies with complex mate relationships — the operation that determines the working pace on large SolidWorks projects. The RTX 2000 Ada 12GB ECC handles viewport rendering of complex assemblies with RealView enabled without the VRAM constraint of an 8GB card. For the most complex SolidWorks assemblies consistently above 1000 parts, or for assemblies where simulation is a primary concurrent workload requiring 128GB RAM, call Kevin and describe your typical project scale before ordering.
Yes, for ANSYS Mechanical with CPU-based solver. The RTX 2000 Ada runs the ISV-certified professional driver stack, which provides stable pre- and post-processing in ANSYS Mechanical — viewport operations, result visualisation, and model manipulation. ANSYS Mechanical's core structural FEA solver runs on the CPU, where the Core Ultra 9 285KF's performance is the relevant component. For ANSYS Fluent CFD with GPU solver operation in a certified configuration, the G6 Forge H with the RTX 4000 Ada 20GB is the correct machine — GPU solver certification requirements and the supported ANSYS versions should be confirmed with Kevin before ordering either machine.
The G6 Forge S uses a Core Ultra 7 265KF with 32GB DDR5 and an RTX A1000 8GB ECC. The Forge M uses a Core Ultra 9 285KF with 64GB DDR5 and an RTX 2000 Ada 12GB ECC. Both carry ISV-certified professional drivers with ECC GPU memory. The practical differences are: 64GB versus 32GB for large assembly scale; 12GB versus 8GB VRAM for complex assembly and surface model viewport rendering; and the Core Ultra 9's higher single-thread ceiling for faster parametric rebuild on larger assemblies. The Forge S is correct for entry professional CAD workflows where assembly scale and simulation requirements fit within 32GB and 8GB ECC VRAM. The Forge M is correct when project complexity has outgrown that envelope.
Yes. The RTX 2000 Ada appears on Dassault Systemes' tested hardware lists for CATIA V5 and V6. The ISV-certified driver runs the correct viewport rendering pipeline for CATIA without the driver warnings that consumer cards produce in CATIA's viewport. 12GB ECC VRAM handles mid-scale complex surface models with large feature histories without the viewport memory constraints that affect 8GB cards on complex geometry. For the most complex CATIA V5 and V6 surface projects with very large multi-body assemblies and extensive surface history — where 128GB system RAM alongside a 20GB ECC professional GPU is needed — the G6 Forge H is the correct machine. Call Kevin and describe your typical CATIA project complexity.
Build time is 3 to 5 working days from order confirmation, including the 24-hour stress test and professional GPU driver installation and confirmation before dispatch. Delivery to UK mainland addresses is free and fully tracked. Call Kevin on 01902 714533 before ordering if you have a project or site deadline in mind.
