Then figure the shared requirements of other processes. AutoCAD won't require what I suggested, but Windows itself is a resource hog.
You're not wrong at all, but you're not accounting for the multitudes of processes that run alongside AutoCAD. An Intel processor with a "K" at the end can be overclocked for even better speeds with a supported motherboard (do your research first!). Look for speedy processors in the upper 3 gigahertz to low 4s. It can not utilize your massive amounts of cores!. Cores are useless, it is a legacy product built upon codes decades old. Processor wise, (at least for AutoCAD and Civil 3D) it is all about the megahertz.
Feel free to have a regular old HDD for long-term or large file storage.
Run Windows 10 (might as well, updates are free now and Autodesk will keep pushing forward on that front).That said, cheaping out on components is not worthwhile. If you are not using network storage for your drawings, the benefit will be massive. An SSD will absolutely increase performance. SSDs are nice for quickly loading files, but don't greatly affect overall performance.Īre you aware of how often CAD accesses hard drives? Run Wireshark with AutoCAD some time. Otherwise, any modern graphics card on the market will do just fine.
Do you need to be 100% accurate? If so, look into a Quadro card. The 1080 wasn't even available when AutoCAD 2017 was released.
This tool is very helpful when users loudly record voice or audio have loudness.Maybe Revit? I have no knowledge there, but AutoCAD, nor Civil 3D, for that matter, will ever come close to utilizing that.Īgain AutoCAD will never use it.
If you don’t know about the system requirements, you don’t get the highest quality work because the software doesn’t work properly on your computer.
