Obviously, you can also run any CAD software in 2D too.
If a laptop can run AutoCAD 3D with no lag, it can also run software like SketchUp, Solidworks, Revit and 3DS Max*. This means A utoCAD Civil 3D, AutoCAD Architecture or just regular AutoCAD for 3D models. When reading the following table make sure you also know what I mean by small, medium and large projects and by AutoCAD 3D and AutoCAD 2D. I’ve also put up a table a bit down below and divided the requirements you’ll need depending on the size of your projects. To give you an idea of what hardware AutoCAD demands without going into too much detail. Recommended Hardware Requirements for AutoCAD Recommended Hardware Requirements for AutoCAD.We’ll do that as fast as possible and keep the technical details to the last section. Once you join a company and become their CAD engineer, you’ll be exposed to different models of different size and you’ll come to the conclusion I’ve just told you.īefore we go over the Top 8 Best Laptops For AutoCAD in 2022, let’s quickly talk about the hardware reuiqrements and how they depend on the size/complexity of your projects and where exactly are you right during your CAD engineering career. However I’ve been using CAD modeling software since my undergraduate years and have kept doing several years after that. Nor do I spend all day testing models all day long. We’ll explain where workstation GPUs do become useful soon. Yes, even in that scenario, you may be okay with a gaming GPU. However, a 3D representation of a very realistic industrial object ( w/ ~5000 polygons) will only stop lagging if your laptop either has a recent workstation card or one of the latest consumer “gaming” graphics cards on it. You’ll find out a small 3D object in AutoCAD may not even need a dedicated graphics card. If you have access to several computers then try downloading or drawing a 3D object and compare performance when you draw and use viewport. There are several benchmarks on youtube and they’re not really hard to do really. Unless someone’s worked with AutoCAD with different projects of different loads/sizes, it’s going to be really hard to give people advice on what’s good hardware and what’s insuficient hardware. Only a very small percentage of you will need to invest more than 1500$ to get one of those so called workstation “Quadros” or “FirePros” GPUs on a laptop.Īnother reason behind the confusion is that… Hardware requirements will depend on how heavy(how complex and big ) your models are.Īs you probably fond out, it’s mostly about the video card (GPU).ĩ5% of the people reading this will be okay with any laptop that has an entry level or mid-range dedicated graphics card. When you talk about 3D Modeling software like AutoCAD, there’s no one size fits all. So it may seem like no one knows what the hell they’re talking about.īut there’s a reason why there seems to be so much confusion. Quora users claiming that most laptops (even those with integrated graphics cards) will run AutoCAD and reviews sites telling you to either get the latest, beefiest and heaviest workstation laptop. So you’ve been googling what’s best laptop for AutoCAD
