Beautiful good day,
I plan to buy a new laptop to start my studies because my old one is slowly giving up the ghost. Since we work a lot with Autodesk Inventor in mechanical engineering, it should be relatively good. The biggest problem for me is the graphics card. I looked around a bit in the forums and it is said here and there that "gaming" graphics cards such as e.g. The Invidia Geforce GTX 2060, which I did not have in mind, would not be compatible with Autodesk Inventor. An expensive Invida Quadro graphics card is often recommended to me instead. Is this really necessary here?
It would be nice if someone could help me! Maybe someone was faced with the same decision and can recommend a laptop to me right away! I would spend around 1500 to a maximum of 2000 euro on the laptop.
I'm currently looking at the Lenovo ThinkPad P15:
- Intel Core i7-10750H processor (6 cores, 12 threads, 12 MB cache, up to 5.00 GHz)
- 32 GB DDR4 3,200 MHz (2 x 16 GB SODIMM)
- 512 GB SSD, M.2 2280, PCIe, NVMe, OPAL 2.0 capable, TLC
- NVIDIA Quadro T2000, 4 GB GDDR6, 128 bit
What do you say about it?
It looks great. It is important that the graphics card is supported by the program, because then you are much more fixated when rendering. And yes, unfortunately, pure 3D rendering needs a lot of arithmetic men in the GPU. I have no idea now whether the 4G GDD6 are sufficient for the Quadro.
