Hi, 

 

I am looking to build a pc for general use and designing on Autodesk inventor, I also will be running some dynamic analysis. 

 

Please could someone recomend me a graphic card to use, currently looking at around £250 or something in the region of the GTX 1060 6GB card.

 

Thanks

You have found one yourself ! 1060, 1070, 1080

Depends on your needs / budget,

the 1060 6 gb would do the job easily I think

I mean, does it use CUDA or OpenCL?

Go for a quadro/firepro card, some of the lower end quadro can beat a tiran x( maxwell) in workstation tasks. Look up comparasins to be sure though.

Nah not really. Maybe for the dynamic analysis part but for normal 3d cad work a GeForce card is pretty much exactly the same.
