Re: Graphics Cards for CAD?
As a note, Inventor will likely perform substantially better with gaming-oriented cards than Solidworks will. It is my understanding that Solidworks uses OpenGL graphics which runs better on workstation-class cards (Quadro, Firepro) and not as well on gamind cards (Geforce, Radeon).
Inventor is built to run on DirectX graphics, which can run well on gaming cards as well as workstation cards.
However, I suspect that any CAD program will run better on a workstation card than on a gaming card. Whether or not you as the user will directly notice it? That's another story.
Disclaimer: Do your own research. I do not have first-hand recent knowledge with SolidWorks nor Geforce cards.
