AutoCAD support for Arc Graphics on Intel Ultra 7 155H Processor

[anikethvardhan]

Hey, I'm a freshman going into Aerospace Engineering, and will be using CAD. I am currently thinking of buying the Lenovo Slim 7i which has an Intel Ultra 7 Processor 155H with integrated Arc Graphics, but I cannot find the specific name of the integrated graphics (A380, A30 etc). So does anyone know if CAD is supported on the IGPU on the Ultra 7 and runs fine? Since I heard some IGPUs like the Arc A370M is not supported. Thanks in advance!

"cad" seems generic a term, and I'm not sure your industry actually uses AutoCAD (topic of this forum) as a tool, does it?

Your card seems to be problem for many Autodesk based software in a quick websearch. Sadly you can't force most software to do anything about it.

For Autodesk products, I would stick with NVIDIA cards.

Thanks for your insight. As for the question about AutoCAD, I am not 100% sure about it, but I was unable to find a suitable place to ask the question therefore I came here.

Ok thank you, I will try exploring my options.

I would recommend you reach out to your course instructor or The Dean of your Educational facility and ask them for a list of software you are will be using and what their recommendations for a laptop are (you don't want to purchase a handicapped unit). I seriously hope "autocad' is not anywhere on their curriculum, that's old school software for a dynamic futuristic course you are going into today in the year 2024.

sure would be nice if AutoDesk commented on this.

They don't do that in these forums for such a query, but you can check the list of approved cards/drivers and other online posts to see if what you seek has been announced yet or not.

Whichever you can find from this list is a good start
