#Best cpu for cad 2018 xeon i7 driver#

Autodesk products are now utilizing Direct3D and MiniGL driver usage as well as the full OpenGL extensions the top dollar workstation level graphics cards use. If there's room left in the budget, get at least a decent gaming card in the $100 range or more with plenty of dedicated RAM. Get 4GB minimum but since you can get 8GB for not much more, go ahead and stock up.

Bottom line is: You don't need Xeon.Д¬ore i5 is bare minimum on a proc. I worked on one for awhile and it did not hold up to the hype, and it even had the entry level Quadro NVS graphics card in it. The Z400 is a joke if it's bone stock in my opinion for the price. What do others commonly use to run Civil 3D? Your suggestions are greatly appreciated. All projects are stored on the Windows 2003 Server. We would be deploying Windows 7 Pro 64-bit as the OS, most likely with small 10K RPM Velociraptor or small SSD disk drives. that will efficiently run Civil 3D today in a production environment, that are not bleeding-edge expensive and that will have a useful life (meaning expected to run future AutoCAD Civil 3D versions) of 4-5 years. I'm looking for recommendations for processors, memory, etc. After all, the customer is designing convenience stores and locating fuel tanks/pumps, etc., not desigining gas turbine blades. The customer has approved the purchase of HP Z400 workstations with Xeon processors, but I'm thinking this is overkill if they successfully run the product today on machines I consider ancient junk. I am not an AutoCAD user myself, but rather support the customer's network infrastructure and computers and I need some help recommending machines to run AutoCAD Civil 3D. They currently use Civil 3D on some fairly old computers and want to purchase newer, faster systems so they can ramp up production. My customer is an Engineering and Development firm that specializes in Convenience Store design, sighting, permitting and construction.
