Graphics Display Card Intel UHD Graphics Vs Intel Iris Xe

[Anonymous]

I'm in the process of purchasing a new laptop to use as a student for an AutoCAD class. The system requirements for AutoCAD 2021  include 1 GB GPU with 29GB/s Bandwidth and Direct X 11 compliant, or recommended 4 GB GPU with 106 GB/s Bandwidth and DirectX 11 compliant. I would like to know if the display graphics card in the laptops I am considering will support the AutoCAD program. I am looking considering the Lenovo C740 14" -Mica with "Integrated Intel UHD Graphics" or a Dell Inspiron 15 5000 with "Intel Iris Xe". Will either of these lap top systems support the AutoCAD program?

Around these forums Intel Iris Xe is proving to be quite problematic for AutoCAD users. Avoid.

Thank you for your reply. I purchased a Inspiron 15 7000 with a NVIDIA® GeForce GTX® 1650 4GB GDDR6 graphics card. I'm using it for an AutoCAD 101 class. So far it seems sufficient for the class. But the most we are going to do is draw a few 2D assignments and one basic 3D assignment.
