    I hope someone can help me. I have recently purchased 4 Radion Saphire HD6850 graphic cards for 4 HP Z400 workstations on a recommendation from somewhere, but I have read on the web that possibly these arent any good for CAD. Can someone pleasee enlighten me as too whether they would be ok as my supplier wants a 10%restock fee to send them back. They are unopened. 

    thanks

    What's the rest of the system like, and what Windows (and AutoCAD/LT) version?

    And why did you buy a new Vid Card if I may ask?

    Hi,

    sorry I was a bit vague.

    The workstation is a HP Z400 Windows 7 64bit with 6Gb RAM, Xeon quadcore processor.

    The workstation didnt come with a graphics card, so thats why I had to purchase one seperately
