Old Quadro graphic card with Infraworks

[djolegaf]

I have possibility to get an old Quadro FX 1800, since I am using at most Civil 3D. But I will also have need to work on presentations in Infraworks. Does Infraworks will work on FX 1800?

how much memory does it have?

Infraworks is a graphic card intensive program

Hi
It has 768mb 192-bit DDR3 memory

[DarrenP]

that may not be enough memory

you can try it

but the performance may not be good

[DarrenP]

autodesk recommends at least a 1 gig card for Infraworks

Any DirectX® 10.1 capable graphics card with 2 GB (or more) graphics memory, supporting 8x Antialiasing (8x AA), such as NVIDIA Quadro® 5000 or 6000 for desktops and NVIDIA Quadro 2000M or GeForce® GT 650M for laptops; (Any DirectX 10.1 capable graphics card with 1 GB graphics memory supporting 2x antialiasing (2x AA) minimum)

Yes, I know that 768MB is little memory. Other solution is buying NVidia GTX 650 with 2GB memory, but I cannot find informations on how it will work with Civil 3D.
