ReMark Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 This should really only concern you if you're doing 3D. There are no special requirements above and beyond what Windows recommends for 2D work. Check this out. http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/index?siteID=123112&id=7107053&linkID=9240618 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 The "ideal" graphics card meets your performance needs and price point. Everyone has different needs. If you work in 3D get one that supports OpenGL as they come with drivers written specifically for AutoCAD. Be aware that these cards typically cost more $$$.

ReMark Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 OpenGL is a method for rendering 3D images is how I understand it. I think it was developed by Silicon Graphics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
