Laptop graphics Support help - Nvidia Quadro M2200 versus GTX 1070

[Anonymous]

Need to purchase a new Laptop for my son who is an Architect needing to travel overseas.  He cannot bring his desktop so will need to purchase a new laptop.  My son uses AutoDesk/CAD/Revit, etc. aggressively.   Need to make sure all will run as efficient as possible.   

After reviewing the top ten Laptops for CAD/Revit/3D-Modeling in this link:

Question I need help with:

Can anyone tell me or help me understand what is a better or the best choice for the required graphics he needs to get his work done remotely.  Is it better to go with NVidia Quadro graphics or GTX 1070 or 1080 GDDR5 Graphics?

At this time, I am looking into an MSI laptop and kind of stuck between MSI WE62 (Nvidia Quadro graphics) or MSI GP63 (GTX 1070/1080 graphics).  Of course the vendor has suggested the Nvidia which is a more expensive choice.

If anyone can please offer your thoughts on a suggestion or direction to take on this, it would be most appreciated.

Thanks to all in advance.

Hi! It's going to depend on the version(s) of AutoCAD/Revit that he will be using. You can check the recommended graphics cards here... https://knowledge.autodesk.com/certified-graphics-hardware Regardless, it's important to set the application to use the correct graphics card (rather than the on-board graphics card that will come with the laptop.) Hope that helps a little, and safe travels to your son!

Personally I would go with the GTX 1070 or 1080.
