[rory129]

i am looking for a video card for autocad and i am not sure which one to get and i don't want to spend more then like 250 so i was looking at this one here and i am not sure how good it will be http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125292

I'd wait for another input, but I'd suggest getting a workstation graphics card. The drivers are better tuned and the performance is better.

they are extremely expensive like i said i want to spend tops like 250

ake a look at this link and read the top article on ATI. Seems they have a good card for the type of work you do at a decent price: http://www.caddigest.com/subjects/reviews_hw/graphics_cards/graphiccards.htm
