Autodesk Inventor

[#1]

I know there is a hardware forum for these types of questions, but there is a ton more traffic here and Inventor Pro 2013 is our primary software. I am looking at getting a mobile workstation, best 2 GPU options are the:

1. Nvidia GeForce GTX 680M GPU with 4GB GDDR5 Video Memory   +CA$412.00
2. Nvidia Quadro K5000M Graphics with 4GB GDDR5 Video Memory   +CA$2,060.00

Compered the two cards here: http://www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-Graphics-Cards-Benchmark-List.844.0.html

I have a feeling of which one to choose, but If you have a moment, anyone using a laptop, can you tell me what GPU you have and if it is good or bad.

Thanks Alot!!!

i have no.2

i have no problems with it i guess the bad thing is the price

this is actually the 1st quadro card i have had

[#3]

Just for reference, I've got a GT540M on my laptop, which has I think 1GB.  I don't have any real problems with Inventor 2013 Pro on it.

Either one of those cards you've listed will do just fine.

what are the rest of the specs of the laptop?

Something like this from here (local for me): http://www.reflexnotebook.ca/

Model: DP9570

Display: 17.3"

GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 680M GPU with 4GB GDDR5 Video Memory (probably)

CPU: i7-3820 Processor ( 10MB L3 Cache, 3.60GHz / 3.80GHz in Turbo Mode, 4 Cores)

OS: Windows 7 Pro x64

RAM: 32GB Quad Channel DDR3 SDRAM at 1600MHz
Primary Drive: 240GB Intel 520 Series SSD

Secondary: 750GB 7200rpm HDD

Optical: BluRay Burner

Productivity: MS Office 2010 Home and Business

With Tax, sits at about $3700, but I think it will be a beast.

The shell of sager laptop look good too, lots or inputs and outputs included...and looks like lots of venting for heat escape.

Thanks for the input so far...

that will be an awesome machine

the only thing i would change is the blu ray burner

unlessyou  plan to make a lot blu ray discs i would just get a blu ray reader so you can blu ray movies on your laptop or downgrade it to just a regular dvd/cd read/write drive if it saves some money
