It's probably a drivers issue. Any reasonably new Nvidia graphics card, gaming or not should work just fine with SW.

Obviously you're going to get much better performance from a workstation graphics card, but you're going to pay a MAJOR premium for it if you start shopping for workstation class laptops. I wouldn't recommend that.
