For sure. Using a remote connection is the best. I have used even a 2GB ram chromebook to tunnel into a machine at home and did some 3D work as well as messing around in VS Code. Since I had a good connection speed was enough for frame rate to be ok as long as I didn't forget that I wasn't on a work station and tried to whip the model around too fast and skip past what I wanted to see. For those interested, I just used a Chrome browser (obviously as I was on a chrome book) and used their remote desktop tool. Set it up on both machines and it works great! Of course I would also get a VPN if you are remoting in from a public place like a Starbucks. Keep all your transmitting encrypted.

I used to buy apple. Now I need a windows computer for solidworks here in college. It's crazy, how none of the apple owners know what to buy or how to make that decision. You simply trusted apple.
I'm not sure how this video showed up in my feed. Since switching to Onshape, hardware selection is simply something you never have to worry about every again.
Thank god….a video that cuts the fluff and gets to the point!! From someone very new to CAD programs and 3D printing…..THANK YOU SO MUCH. You answered all my question and I didn’t have to watch a 30min video what go “wait what?” At the end lol.
I need a computer that can run revit and cad smoothly. up to 20k sqft of linework,modeling. a computer that doesnt take long to open a file and plot a drawing to pdf
The video wasn't very informative to be honest it seemed more to be an add for dell more than anything. Nice free laptop though, what make was it again.....
though i wonder how a geforce and quadro would run in an environment full of hundreds of assemblies in fusion or solid works. like parts in assemblies. how well would each card perform cuz i think thats where youll see the difference between the two?
Geforce cards work pretty nice for SolidWorks but a quadro is best. However, for most...the vast majority of users, Quadro quickly drops in cost to payout ratio. Even 14 years ago I could run a pretty decent sized assembly with 100ish parts without issues. Well, if someone thinks they need 60 FPS for everything and one gets elitist about it then spend thousands of dollars on that high end Quadro, but a $500 gaming card is more than enough especially today. RAM, hard drive speed, and CPU clock speed will be your biggest bangs for the buck. I'll take 20 FPS on a large assembly with fast load and save times over a high-end card that gives me 50 FPS on the same model but I ran out of money for a screaming storage setup and only a modest amount of ok ram. Nothing will chap your ass in the long run than watching an hour glass while a large assembly loads. A high-end quadro card can be way more than an entire system that would run Solid Works pretty well. Fusion - no idea. Rhino runs well with any gaming card as does Moi, Space Claim, Alibre, and AutoCAD (all from my experience).
Interesting, I'm looking at civil CAD software, and Carlson Civil suite working on top of Intellicad or Autocad. They say not to use Quadro cards and recomend RTX series cards.
thank you so much for this. im sure there's been alot of people wondering and very curious to know including myself as a 3D artist. thank you so much for the time and effort its very insightful.
As far as I experienced quaddros gpu don't really benift with Fusion-360. Gaming cards are having better DIRECTX 11 performance. Fusion DOES NOT USE CUDA CORES
I thought i remember someone from the fusion team mentioning on the forums that processors are what matters for fusion 360. It doesn't take advantage of GPUs. Note, if you use Solidworks, the better GPU you get, the better off you are.
Great point! As I understand it, Fusion and Inventor take advantage Directx 11 making a gaming card a great buy but a Quadro will still work....but probably overspending for something you may not need. . Solidworks typically benefits from the Quadro with it's certified drivers.
Great video quick question for you. I draw cad on the go and in my office, when I work in my office would it be possible to screen mirror to my monitor so I can work using my monitor screen in the office and use the laptop while on the go? Like a multi use dead
I have experience of using 2x24” flat monitor at job, think curved 34uw can be better, how do You think?(I can’t try it so I need to ask before take it)
You can run CAD on almost any computer. I've done it on a $400 I3 laptop. It is a question of how much latency and how many lockups you are willing to put up with.
You can easily install Autocad LT 2024 & Revit LT 2024 and work smoothly on intel i3 3rd generation processor. I have tested it on my Dell Laptop and 100% working. My Laptop specification is given below:- Processor - i3 3227U @ 1.90 GHz. RAM - 8 gb DDR3 @ 1600 MHz. SSD - 500gb SATA, speed of 540 MB/s Read and 500 MB/s Write. Integrated Graphics Card - Intel (R) HD Graphics 4000, 1792 MB VRAM. When I worked on Revit LT 2024, The CPU was working it's maximum base clock speed of 1.89 GHz and usage was around 26% only.
Hey comment section, im cad technician but I'm also a gamer. I want to build a pc that can handle cad projects (Solidworks/ Inventor) as well as gaming for £1000 but i have absolutely no idea what i am doing. Does anyone have any info to point me in right direction? Anythung would be appreciated ❤
My Alienware R13 (not that I recommend that OEM) runs a RTX 3060, I7-12700F and 32G RAM. It runs Inventor 2023 great. To cut the price, maybe go with a 13th gen I5, since single core is (almost) everything. The 3060TI benchmarks better for gaming, but I like the comfort of the extra VRAM.
Yes, you will be perfectly fine!! 5600g is for graphics and ryzen integrated graphics are pretty power full. Autocad isn't a really demanding software so don't worry!
I'm using 5800H with abaqus FE and it's okay there some limitations but overall it's doing fine but if you looking for something deeper in terms of let say meshing on large then you probably need a desktop My ram is 16GB
