![]() ![]() *Remember if you’re only working with 2D AutoCAD (maps, countours, circuit design,etc) on AutoCAD. I’ll explain why and more details in the last section. That’s true to some extent but for most people will not find workstation GPUs (FirePro, Quadro) useful unlessthey’re working with very realistic representation of objects of thousands of parts in a LOD between 400 and 500. ![]() Workstation laptops are no different than regular laptops except for the GPU which is supposedly designed for CAD software. Note that the integrated GPU only uses 20% of its total power for a 2D plan with no need of the dGPU (i’ve disabled it to show you the iGPU can do it just fine). Whereas someone who works with 2D designs such as plans and maps (anything in 2D) only has to find a laptop with a recent CPU and ditch the graphics card altogether which reduces the price to ~450 dollars. Viewport only uses a fraction of the total 4GB vRAM GPU power. ![]() Note despite the high number of parts of the motorcyle. What’s the best laptop for AutoCAD will depend on what you do with AutoCAD.įor example someone whose work relies on 3D viewport for objects of the size / # polygons shown below (house planning, mechanical design) will only need a laptop that has a dedicated GPU with 4GB vRAM or even 2GB vRAM such as the 3050Ti, 1650GTX or 1050Ti they sell for ~700 dollars. Having worked with AutoCAD since my undergrad years for different types of projects (the robot you see on my profile & circuit plans in 2D) I can understand the confusion. Some people on reddit or quora claim that laptops with integrated graphics cards will run AutoCAD just fine.Īnd then you have review sites & AutoDesk telling you to only buy laptops with ‘workstation’ graphics. As you’ve probably found out by now finding the best laptop for AutoCAD is quite confusing. ![]()
