Long story short I bought a Quadro M2000 and was unable to install it into an aging DELL XPS8300 without BIOS updating the MoBo. So instead I figured to buy a new Workstation oreinted build that I was hoping would of been better suited for 3D BIM modeling with Fab CADmep and Navisworks.

XPS8300 (Old)

i7 2600 3.4GHz

8GB RAM

Windows 7

HD Radeon 6850 (Aftermarket)

To what I was hoping would of been an upgrade:

New Workstation:

i5 6600 3.3GHz

16GB RAM

Windows 8.1

PNY Quadro M2000

The DWG I was working with on the older PC that caused me to want to upgrade in the first place BARELY runs on the new set up. Going from Top View to an Isometric takes a full 5 minutes, lots of screen black flashing when filling design line, 5 mins to Save the file, 4-5 second delay for the OSNAP node to pop up after moving mouse pointer to a desired location. The file is nearing 100mb and unfortunately I will have to be working with this thing for the next 10 months. 

I looked at the recommended hardware list on Autodesk and it shows the Quadro 2000M, Quadro M2000M, Quadro M4000.... It is unnervingly absent of the Quadro M2000 

Did I convince my boss to buy a $450 card that doesn't work for CADmep?
