I've read a lot of posts about how people should go for dedicated graphics card like Nvidia or ATI, but due to budget constraints all my laptop options are offering Intel HD graphics: e.g. Dell Vostro 3360
1. Is it good enough for a normal Solidworks/Photoshop usage (i.e. not a heavy user of 500MB CAD files)? 2. What is the basic spec for running Solidworks/photoshop smoothly? Thank you! |

QUOTE(johnconnor @ Jul 24 2014, 05:37 PM) I've read a lot of posts about how people should go for dedicated graphics card like Nvidia or ATI, but due to budget constraints all my laptop options are offering Intel HD graphics: e.g. Dell Vostro 3360 Photoshop will be able to run on integrated graphics. A video card will speed some things up with opencl but it is not necessary.1. Is it good enough for a normal Solidworks/Photoshop usage (i.e. not a heavy user of 500MB CAD files)? 2. What is the basic spec for running Solidworks/photoshop smoothly? Thank you!  Solidworks requires a graphics card but people have reported running it on Intel integrated graphics for smaller projects. |

Thanks for the replies! I guess getting a laptop with a dedicated graphics card it is.
