I'd probably have to build a different Intel/Nvidia Quadro machine for that, though. I don't use Revit, but I might eventually have to learn Revit Structural. I can only imagine that AutoCAD will work better with this setup. It still works fine today, but the FX-8350 is kind of slow for other things. As a reference point, AutoCAD has worked extremely well with my older AMD FX-8350 CPU & Radeon R7 200 card. It's mainly 2d type work for AutoCAD, but once in a while I have to look at 3d drawings too. I think that AutoCAD, RawTherapee, & video editing will take the most out of the machine. I might eventually dabble in video editing as well. My nephew will also use the PC to edit videos on occasion. I mainly run a lot of engineering programs like Enercalc, Retain Pro, SP software (slab, columns, walls, etc.), AutoCAD, Excel sheets, & do a lot of batch processing with RawTherapee. I don't play videogames outside of using RetroArch for old-skool gaming like SNES, NES, TurboGrafx-16/PC Engine, Sega Genesis, PlayStation, & stuff like that on occasion. I also have a Gigabyte RadeonRX 580 GAMING 8G video card. I have a Gigabyte B550 motherboard that it's going into.

Setting AutoCAD to use the discrete graphics adapter resolves many performance-related issues.I'm in a bit of a quandary here. To optimize battery life, newer laptops may have both a graphics adapter integrated into the motherboard for basic graphic display along with a discrete graphics adapter for more demanding graphical tasks. How to update your system to the latest certified video driverĬonfiguring the system to always use the discrete graphics.It’s best to uninstall the current driver first. Updating your current video driver to the latest driver available can correct problems with your graphics. The driver for the graphics card may be corrupt or outdated How to enable or disable hardware acceleration in AutoCAD.Not all graphics cards support this feature which may cause performance and display issues.

In some scenarios, the Hardware Acceleration setting may be disabled or may need to be disabled.
