emmafrost Posted May 28, 2023 Posted May 28, 2023 I'm trying to help my friend not buy an absolute trash PC for her uni course while still staying within a reasonable budget, that course includes AutoCAD training, I disabled my Nvidia card for my first performance test, just to see if it could run on the integrated Iris Xe graphics, then I changed all the settings and restarted AutoCAD also forced the OS to make AutoCAD use my 3050 RTX, with that card it's a little bit smoother but still too laggy to be real, what did go wrong? blender 3D works like a charm, is fast on CPU rendering alone, and supports even OptiX, is it possible that Autodesk developers are really that bad at optimizations? why? help? Note: I don't know Autocad, I'm just using it as a benchmark, I did a mini course but I forgot everything about it, I downloaded the demo version for architects Quote
Steven P Posted May 28, 2023 Posted May 28, 2023 So these are the system requirements for 2023 (https://www.autodesk.com/support/technical/article/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/System-requirements-for-AutoCAD-2023-including-Specialized-Toolsets.html)_ - should run reasonably with this. Is it only AutoCAD that is laggy with the setup you used? 1 Quote
BIGAL Posted May 29, 2023 Posted May 29, 2023 Did you set the graphics card to not use the internal Intel graphics card but the 3050. Now where is it. 1 Quote

The OP already mentioned using both to test AutoCAD. There are several benchmark testers out there. For AutoCAD try Cadalyst Benchmark Test | Cadalyst and Benchmark Tool | AutoCAD | Autodesk App Store Did you try some different drivers? I found getting the driver correct helps, sometimes the latest and greatest and sometimes an older works better. What are the complete specifications for your computer? Quote
