A Quadro P600 2GB card is about £185 on ebuyer, for roughly the same money I could get a GTX 1050 TI 4GB card and I've no idea how to compare the two cards <span class="emoticon e_grin" title=":D"><span class="e__">:D</span></span><br /><br /> My old Samsung laptop had a Geforce 650M and it ran SolidEdge brilliantly for the most part. When it got stolen it was replaced by a PC Specialist laptop with a 750M that barely runs SolidEdge at all due to shitty hardware design and drivers I guess (I don't currently use SolidWorks but I plan to switch to it)</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=42218.6&return_msg=42218.6" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="42218.6"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a42218_7"></a><div class="message" id="message_42218_7"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: Peter (BOUGHTONP)<span class="message_time">17 Aug 2018 22:18</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: koswix <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 18 Aug 2018 08:07"></span></span> <span class="message_count">7 of 36</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42218.7">42218.7</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42218.6#a42218_6" target="_self">42218.6</a></div> <div class="message_body"> Can you afford to buy both, benchmark, then return the lesser one within 28 days?</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=42218.7&return_msg=42218.6" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="42218.7"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a42218_8"></a><div class="message" id="message_42218_8"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: koswix<span class="message_time">18 Aug 2018 08:08</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: Peter (BOUGHTONP) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 18 Aug 2018 14:20"></span></span> <span class="message_count">8 of 36</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42218.8">42218.8</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42218.6#a42218_7" target="_self">42218.7</a></div> <div class="message_body"> Sure, but I'm far too lazy to do that and I'd just end up keeping both <span class="emoticon e_embarrassed" title=":$"><span class="e__">:$</span></span></div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=42218.8&return_msg=42218.6" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="42218.8"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a42218_9"></a><div class="message" id="message_42218_9"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: koswix<span class="message_time">18 Aug 2018 09:33</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: ALL<span class="message_count">9 of 36</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42218.9">42218.9</a></div> <div class="message_body"> So far I've worked out that I want at least an i5-8400, that's a little over twice as fast as my current i5-4200m.
