Quadro or Geforce for AutoCad Revit?

[zery87]

Having trouble deciding going for quadro or geforce for autocad revit, need some advice. Going for a laptop for mobile purposes. Budget : 2kUSD

 

Thanks!

LOL yes there is, P40, P50, P70, T420s are just a very few models with Quadros in them.

 

OP I would recommend looking at business laptops or clevo laptops with quadros in them such as the ThinkPad P50

Is there alot of difference between quadro and geforce for autocad revit? well in terms of price and performance wise. not going to game on it though. i will check on them thanks!

seems like Quadros will help with bigger projects, gtx cards are not recommended/supported (http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/syscert?siteID=123112&id=18844534&results=1&stype=graphic&product_group=2&release=2015&os=524288&manuf=all&opt=2)

A quadro will certainly give you a boost

Ah i see, then i will certainly get a quadro then, also pascal gpus for mobile is coming out soon, do u think that pascal for quadro series is near too?

never used autocad revit, so dunno. I have been using Inventor and autodesk 360 the most and other 3D programs.

Pascal laptops are looking to have heat issues. I'd say not worth the headache

I would strongly recommend the P50 if you can afford it, it is build like a tank and everything about build is just insane and you get the best keyboard.

No difference in performance. Quadros are geforces basically, excepting VERY few quadro cards. Maybe more memory on them, or a different shape/TDP design, but they're otherwise the same card.

 

You buy a Quadro for support. That's why they're so overpriced. That's basically it. Nothing else. No double precision, no special abilities, nothing. Just actually good drivers and support to go along with it.

 

Whether you use quadros or not is up to you at this point, but unless you REALLY need the support, I wouldn't spend a lot for a very weak Quadro (which is what you're looking for with your $2000 budget). Unless quadros are required via your above post... then I guess you need one T_T

Yeah, good luck man. Erm... here's what. Check out the thinkpads and also call up HIDevolution and ask them if they have any clevo quadro machines for a $2000 budget and see what they can wrangle up for ya.

Pascal is out LOL. Pick up a 1070. 

 

Edit: Didn't see Autocad Rivet. Yea you need to pick up a Quadro.

I would definitely go with Quadro GPUs, because they are meant for workstations and programs such as AutoCAD
