Which graphics card?

Hey,

 

I have been looking for a laptop to run AutoCAD 2018. I am wondering whether gaming laptops will be suitable enough to run AutoCAD 2018 without any problems? Will the graphics card be suitable enough for the 2D and 3D?

 

i dont want to buy a laptop, load the software and then get a message saying the graphics card is not suitable!

 

Thanks

Ive had a look on that link but cannot find many laptops with those graphic cards. Only laptops i can find are ones with geforce gtx 1050

ANY GTX 1050 or above will be just fine. One of the biggest myths in CAD is that you need a quadro card for AutoCAD usage.

my son is starting mech engineering at UNC Charlotte in the fall and I bought him a Dell Inspiron gaming for school. Core i7 7 series quad HT, 8 gb ram, 120 M.2 PCIe ssd, 1 tb hdd and 4 gb GTX1050.

These workstation cards run expensive and numerous.

 

what are the performance issues we need to think about when getting a card for use in AutoCAD?

without guessing.

for instance when will the VRAM end be noticeable in cad compared to a video game.

FPS will increase when the pc starts using system memory.

 

Some use cad for 10 story buildings or single family houses or just decks in my case.

what / when does file size effect GPU end of memory and entering into system memory?

a 6 gig gpu can handle file size and the software sub routines ok?

when rendering the effect will be jumpy and slower then a Quadro card?

what is the minimum GPU memory needed for the software and files to reside in without having to rely on system memory.

or god forbid virtual hard drive space.
