Explanation

Both CAD workstations and gaming PCs demand powerful GPUs. CAD (Computer-Aided Design) workstations render complex 3D models and simulations, requiring professional-grade GPUs (e.g., NVIDIA Quadro, AMD Radeon Pro) with high precision and VRAM. Gaming PCs need high-end consumer GPUs to render games at high resolutions and frame rates. Home Theater PCs (B) only need basic video output capability. Thin clients (C) are minimal terminals that offload processing to a server. Virtualization workstations (E) prioritize CPU cores and RAM over GPU performance.
