( /u/TGMais Error Checking is a RAM feature, not a video card feature, GeForce vs Quadro does not determine "accuracy" neither does Error Checking, actually) *Go with GeForce, it's cheaper and just as good. *RAM's cheap, get a ton, it doesn't hurt. *Yeah, go with Win 10, that's what we're all developing on now. It's possible that your mileage may vary. Working with files, I haven't seen a big, overall, boost in performance with an SSD. If you still want to save some bucks, go with a 980 or 970. The 1080 is very reasonably priced for the power that it puts out. GeForce is, basically, the same hardware without the "fine tuning" in the drivers.

Accuracy isn't the question, Quadro cards have drivers that are developed to run CAD programs more efficiently and you pay for the development cost. Splurge on a Quadro if you can spare the extra. Go GeForce if you want to save some money. Basically, go for the newest model processor. A 6th gen i5 is going to smoke a 4th gen i5. Clock speed isn't as important, newer technology is just better. An i5 isn't a bad option at all, I agree.

RAM is cheap, get as much as you can, it's not a huge improvement, but "out of memory" issues lead to crashes and loss of data.ĪutoCAD is single thread, but Windows is running several processes simultaneously, more cores is more efficient. Playing Pandora in Chrome, running Outlook (admittedly negligible), other CAD programs, Add-Ins, etc. Then figure the shared requirements of other processes. AutoCAD won't require what I suggested, but Windows itself is a resource hog. You're not wrong at all, but you're not accounting for the multitudes of processes that run alongside AutoCAD. An Intel processor with a "K" at the end can be overclocked for even better speeds with a supported motherboard (do your research first!). Look for speedy processors in the upper 3 gigahertz to low 4s. It can not utilize your massive amounts of cores!. Cores are useless, it is a legacy product built upon codes decades old.

Processor wise, (at least for AutoCAD and Civil 3D) it is all about the megahertz.

Feel free to have a regular old HDD for long-term or large file storage. Definitely use an SSD, the speed improvements are insane.If not and you just need a drafting machine, any modern gaming card will be far more than apt at the task. Are your drawings made to calculate perfect quantities? If so, forget GeForce altogether and go for a card with Error Checking (an enterprise card such as Quadro). You can use the 32 as in the comment above if you plan on running many, many instances all at once (I doubt it, seriously I really doubt it). Have at least 8GB of RAM, 16 recommended as overhead for the OS and other things like browser windows.

Run Windows 10 (might as well, updates are free now and Autodesk will keep pushing forward on that front).

That said, cheaping out on components is not worthwhile. If you are not using network storage for your drawings, the benefit will be massive. An SSD will absolutely increase performance. SSDs are nice for quickly loading files, but don't greatly affect overall performance.Īre you aware of how often CAD accesses hard drives? Run Wireshark with AutoCAD some time. Otherwise, any modern graphics card on the market will do just fine. Do you need to be 100% accurate? If so, look into a Quadro card. The 1080 wasn't even available when AutoCAD 2017 was released. Maybe Revit? I have no knowledge there, but AutoCAD, nor Civil 3D, for that matter, will ever come close to utilizing that.Īgain AutoCAD will never use it.
