What Graphics Card Should I use for Autodesk Inventor 2014?

Hi All,

I got Autodesk InventorPro 2014 recently.  My computer has all the requirements except the graphics card and I am no expert on these.  I need one under $100 that lasts a while?  Any suggestions will help!

Thanks,

Since Autodesks move from OpenGL to Inventor to DirectX, there is no need for expensive OpenGL cards. Find the fastest rated "Gamming" card that fits your budget.

Thanks for that but I need to know one that will work and $99 or less?  Anything works...

Thanks,

We don't know where you are, or what you have access to, which means our costs aren't necessarily yours.  You'll have to handle that legwork yourself, I'm afraid.

With knowing what size of IAM files you are working on and the complexity of the IPT files, look for the fastest card in your price range. They will all work, just how fast will depend on what you are working on.

I don't have a memory that goes back that far to remember the release - but this might be relevant

The first version that allowed either OpenGL and DirectX was release 11, not release 2011 but release 11 over eight years (releases) ago.

There is virtually no video card out there that meets both the criteria of "under $100" and "will last a while," unless your definition of "lasts a while" is "already obsolete and maybe even EOL'd before I purchase it."  This is probably the best thing you'll find in that price range, and it's already 2 generations behind what you've already got.  It doesn't have much longer before AMD stops even updating its drivers.

 

Now if you could go up to $200, on the other hand ...
