Recommended video cards for laptop running Inventor 2012

[kingsburyInc]

I am looking to upgrade my laptop since the one that i currently have has major issues running the inventor 2012.

I went to the autodesk website to see what video cards they recommend for running 2012 and they have nothing for mobile video cards on their recommended list. So i have come here to see what others would suggest. I looked and the Nvidia Quadro list and then looked at their mobil counterparts if they had one. I just don't want to spend a lot of money and this still not work correctly. Thanks for your suggestions.

I strongly disagree with the discussion admin who moved this thread here-- you are not likely to get more useful responses here, because this is a specifically Inventor question.

That said, you need to say a lot more about how you use Inventor-- a graphics card that is adequate for small to medium assemblies may not work at all for very large ones, or very complex parts.  Also, for Inventor, you need not limit yourself to Quadro cards.  Their extra cost is generally not justified for Inventor, since Inventor does not use OpenGL.

You will want to make sure you run a WHQL certified driver with your nVidia card.
