Optimum graphics card for autocad LT

[playford]

Hi all,

 

I'm in the stages of replacing 4 of my PC's and was wondering what is one of the better graphic cards to use.

 

I have the option of a few from the supplier:

 

ATI HD 4550

ATI HD 4650

Nvidia NVS 290

Nvidia GeForce 310

 

Thanks

Mark

not the exact cards you have listed, but worth a read if you havent already.

That's all they've got? From that list the best option is the Radeon 4650. The Quadro NVS is a Geforce 8400 with no added 3D capabilities and the 310 is the lowest end thing nVidia actively markets. The 4650 is what the Tom's Hardware site refers to as the "best video card for under $55" and until last month it was included in the Intern system at 3datstech.com. For Autocad LT you don't need a heck of a lot of video card power so it should do alright.
