    8GB of RAM would be essential as a starting point.  You'll get some acceleration out of the Radeon 530 though it won't be tons.  I know typically AutoCAD products typically tend to favour NVIDIA cards but should still work fine as it is using DirectX for rendering.  That being said, you're more likely to be CPU bound as it's a 2 core CPU.  If the models aren't too large or complex it will likely be ok, but it really is going to depend from model to model.
     
    There are also a few benchmarking options that you can try suggested by Autodesk support from their forums here:

    Autodesk claims that the minimum specs are 4gb RAM and a 1Ghz or faster processor.

    Experience and logic tells me that you'll want a minimum of 8gb of ram, and that processor will, work, for light work. I would definitely upgrade your RAM. I would also suggest skipping the SSD upgrade if it means that you can bump that up to 16GB of RAM.

    You will want to configure AutoCAD to use GPU acceleration though, something which you'll definitely want to try to do. I say try, because 2018 is not tested on that GPU. However, from my personal experience, all of the AutoDesk products I've used will accept my 960m for hardware acceleration. Your mileage may vary.

    The ram and cpu would be the limiting factor in my experience, ram especially when it comes to large projects with links and dependencies to other drawings. Not entirely sure about 3d in autocad though, I seldom use autocad specifically for 3d.

    1080 low as possible.

    Yes of course, Resolution has very little impact if you lower the other more demanding settings.

    Always go native res and then tweak in game settings. I personally can't stand going below native res. I am one of those people who preach that low settings native res will look better than lower res with higher settings in many cases.

    Knightdroid250 reacted to aisle9 in 1080p vs 720p   
    I would recommend changing the resolution of the games you play to 1080p, seeing how they look and play, then deciding if you want to stay there or go back to 720p.
  10. Agree
    Knightdroid250 reacted to Streetguru in 720p or 900p   
    Really wouldn't bother unless the i5 + motherboard(?)/RAM is nearly free

    Your GPU is already going to be struggling as is.

    The ground plug should be where that empty round role is at the bottom of the outlet side of you power cable.
    All of the power outlets in your house should have a 3rd wire besides the hot and neutral connecting them together and is grounded at the electrical panel.
    It allows a safe path to ground for electrical current in the event there is damage to the circuitry.
    Electricity will try and take the path of least resistance to ground so if there is no ground wire it could use you as a path to ground and electrocute you if you touch something conductive on the faulty piece of equipment.
     
    Older houses and different countries will have varied electrical codes but they usually mandate a ground in new construction or renovations.
     
    It looks like the PSU in the computer tried to draw a lot more current than it was supposed to and as a result the wire got too hot and melted the coating.
    I would replace that PSU and have an electrician look at the outlet and panel to see if the heat damaged the outlet or wiring.
    The last thing you want is a house fire because a damaged outlet or wires shorted in your walls.

    @Knightdroid250
    your cable is missing this
     

     
    it may have broken off inside the socket in your wall at some point, and when it broke off something started shorting out slowly over time, so i recommend you replace the cable
     
    also check your socket, but dont touch anything, better to get an electrician if something is stuck in there

    660 has more than twice the factory power limit (140w, compared to 60w). You'll need to run it a LONG time for it to be noitceable to your electricity bill though

    Knightdroid250 reacted to Mira Yurizaki in default vs warm 2   
    "Warm 2" is not a standard setting, so not every monitor has it. And you don't really need it, you can just muck around with custom colors on your monitor's OSD.

    I think you should look over the standards again. I think you are misreading a rule. There is nothing in there about cheating. Also cheating isn't illegal. If you are referring to hacking or cracking then that is different and refers to pirating of games... which is not what cheatengine does.
     
    Cheatengine allows you to for example modify your memory to change a value to a permanent value to give you say unlimited ammo in a game. It also doesn't exactly work in most multiplayer games, because those values are maintained by the server and thus your changes have no effect. So this really is only relevant to single player games.
     
    So cheating is not "illegal" it might be against the TOS, but that does not make that activity illegal, just means you are breaching your agreement with the software company who can kick you from the game or decide to sue you for losses if needed.
     
    A little more information this has also been ruled on previously in Lewis Galoob Toys VS Nintendo. If anyone remembers game genie it was a cartridge that plugged into your nintendo that allowed you to enter codes and cheat. It did so by modifying the memory, just like cheat engine. The judge rules that it did NOT infringe on copyright and was no different than say using the fast forward feature on your VCR to skip the credits. So just another example of cheating not being illegal.
