Graphics Card for Revit 2020 (M2000 vs T2000???)

I have been ready some threads involving the Nvidia M2000 Graphics card. When I go to the hardware suggested cards I only see a few listed for mobile/laptop workstations. I am trying to help a school purchase new mobile workstations to run Revit 2020 and at the same time keep the budget down. I have HP ZB00k 15-G3 Mobile Workstations i7-6820HQ that come with 16GB,  512GB SSD and a NVIDIA Quad M2000 Graphics Card. I see that the suggested card for the Mobile workstation is a T2000 ( I thought M2000 was for workstations??) So my question is will the M2000 work? Will they be able to use all the software's capabilities?  Finally, it is suggested that they upgrade to 32GB, is this actually required?  They would be using the Revit 2020 for large Complex Models.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You don't need a Quadro card for Revit. Any old video card released in the last 7 years will handle Revit no problem with the few bells and whistles Revit has.  That being said, because it is an academic institution, a quadro card might be better because they are 'certified' by Autodesk and are generally a lot more stable in the long run. 

 

32GB of RAM will be worth the upgrade.
