Thanks for the advice. I grabbed a gtx 1070 off eBay for $70 all in. The listing says it has two bad HDMI ports, but that’s fine because I only use one monitor. Thanks
I’m looking to upgrade the GPU in my desktop. I don’t game anymore so the PC is more of a workstation. What I currently have is a reason 4850hd. It’s old, but it wasn’t when I bought it. I had two in x fire for a while but one died.
The biggest limitation I have is running fusion360 is terribly slow when parts get complicated or I have multiple designs open. It’s bad enough the my Asus rog laptop is faster and smoother at running fusion than my desktop even though my desktop has a now powerful processor and way more RAM.
So what I’m looking for is something in the sub $100 range that’s better than what I have and will be better for fusion. I realize thats a pretty wide margin, but that’s all the stipulations I have. I’m completely open to second hand cards of off eBay as well. I know that sometimes yesterday’s to end card is better than today’s economy hardware.
Thanks
From what I’m reading Fusion360 is not as dependent on GPU as it is CPU.
Someone had suggested a 1660 Ti as a good midrange solution for running Fusion360.
Keep an eye out for used 1660Ti’s hitting the market as there is another release of new GPU’s from Nvidia coming up soon.
Might just be the right time to snap one up for ~$100.
