1. Can I buy a custom workstation on GeM Portal?

Yes. Buyers can procure a workstation configured according to their technical requirements, provided the configuration complies with the applicable GeM category specifications and procurement process. Before ordering, it is advisable to confirm that the selected configuration satisfies your software, performance, and warranty requirements. Swastik is a GeM-registered vendor and can deliver custom workstation on GeM portal.

2. Is it possible to customize RAM, SSD, graphics card, and processor before placing an order?

Yes. Depending on the available catalog or bid specifications, buyers can select suitable processor, memory, storage, graphics, and operating system configurations. The supplied system should match the configuration committed by the seller.

3. Can government buyers procure workstations that are not listed as standard catalog models?

Yes. Where procurement is through bidding or an appropriate GeM mechanism, buyers can define the technical specifications required for their application, provided they remain within GeM’s category framework and procurement rules. swastik can deliver custom pc on GeM portal.

4. What is the difference between a standard desktop and a custom workstation?

A standard desktop is designed for office productivity, while a workstation is engineered for resource-intensive applications such as engineering simulation, CAD, AI, rendering, scientific computing, GIS, and research. Swastik also help our clients to purchase the right configuration system after understanding what would be the right choice.

5. Should I purchase a desktop or a workstation for engineering software?

Applications such as ANSYS, SolidWorks, CATIA, Abaqus, MATLAB, COMSOL, and similar software generally benefit from workstation-class hardware with higher memory capacity, faster processors, and professional graphics.

6. How do I decide the correct workstation configuration for my department?

The configuration should be based primarily on the software being used rather than only on budget. Consider:

• Primary application
• Number of simultaneous users
• Size of datasets
• Expected workload
• Future upgrade requirements
• Budget availability

7. Which processor is recommended for engineering workstations?

For most engineering workloads, modern Intel Core Ultra, Intel Core i9, or Intel Xeon processors are common choices depending on application requirements and workload characteristics. We can support with custom workstation purchases on GeM.

8. How much RAM should a research workstation have?

Typical recommendations are:

• CAD Design: 32 GB
• Engineering Simulation: 64 GB
• AI & Deep Learning: 64–128 GB
• Scientific Computing: 64 GB or higher

9. Which graphics card is suitable for engineering applications?

Professional workstation GPUs are generally preferred for engineering software because they are optimized for stability, certified drivers, and compatibility with professional applications.

10. Is a gaming graphics card suitable for ANSYS or SolidWorks?

Consumer gaming GPUs may work for certain workloads, but many organizations prefer professional workstation GPUs for better software certification, reliability, and long-term support.

11. Can one workstation run ANSYS, MATLAB, AutoCAD, and SolidWorks together?

Yes, provided the system is configured with sufficient processor performance, RAM, professional graphics capability, and storage. Configuration should be selected according to the most demanding application in the software stack.

12. Can I purchase a workstation specifically for AI and Machine Learning?

Yes. AI workloads generally require a powerful multi-core processor, substantial RAM, fast NVMe storage, and an NVIDIA GPU that supports CUDA-based acceleration.

13. Which workstation is suitable for CFD and FEA simulations?

CFD and FEA applications typically benefit from higher CPU performance, larger memory capacity, and professional graphics hardware for visualization.

14. Can I use the same workstation for CAD, rendering, AI, and programming?

Yes. Many organizations standardize on a single high-performance workstation configuration capable of supporting multiple technical workloads.

15. How can I verify that the delivered workstation is genuine?

At the time of delivery, buyers should verify:

• OEM serial number
• Model number
• Hardware configuration
• Warranty status
• OEM website verification
• Operating system authenticity

Many GeM workstation documents specifically advise buyers to verify the configuration using the OEM website before acceptance.

16. Can the supplied workstation differ from the quoted configuration?

No. The supplied hardware should match the approved configuration and specifications. Buyers should inspect the system before issuing acceptance. Recent GeM conditions also emphasize that systems should not be altered from their approved factory configuration where applicable.

17. How do I verify the installed RAM, SSD, and graphics card?

Buyers can verify:

• BIOS information
• Windows System Information
• Device Manager
• Storage Management
• OEM support portal
• OEM serial number lookup

18. Should the workstation configuration be available on the OEM website?

Many GeM workstation procurements require that the supplied configuration be verifiable through the OEM website using the product serial number or model details.

19. Is onsite warranty available for custom workstations?

Many workstation models are available with onsite warranty options. Buyers should verify the warranty duration, response time, and service coverage before procurement.

20. Can I extend the warranty after purchase?

Many OEMs provide optional warranty extensions, depending on the product family and procurement terms.
