Re: CAD laptop help

I would not be as concerned with the 2GB of VRAM as I would be about the 8GB of system RAM. 2GB VRAM should be fine for anything done in FRC. 8GB of system RAM is the bare minimum that I would put in any computer now days. My laptop has 16GB, and I use around 8GB with just Chrome open. A workstation might give you a better experience with CAD because of its workstation GPU (mainly better drivers), but normal "gaming" GPUs will work fine.
