- I have used AutoCad since the 1980s and this card finally brings good performance to the ordinary user at a reasonable price. The V4800 is certified by software vendors such as Autodesk and Adobe which helps when you are in tech support or when you need dependable drivers. Additionally, the multi-monitor capability allowed us to pair up older smaller flat screen monitors with larger units we were using for CAD with little effort and no expense...just watch cable types / adapter requirements. I have added to workstations and to 4 year old Optiplex 330s with success. I highly recommend this card; it is now our office standard.
- Like usual, the backstory: I have a HD5770 on my gaming rig, and its proven to be a very capable card. I can run most games on max, the latest games on high, and has generally proven to be just a great all-around card, or so I thought.My wife is currently going to school for architecture/interior design; up until recently, most of her work had been by hand, but now she's beginning to get into heavy AutoCAD and Google Sketchup usage. I figured my card should be able to handle most of it (since she is still doing entry-level work), but things went downhill quickly when she began working on a large hotel-lobby in Sketchup, as well as a performing arts school. Her computer would take 10 minutes…
