Laptop video cards Radeon X300
Laptop video cards Radeon X300
(OP)
Has anyone had to use, or should I say tried to use SolidWorks using a Radeon X300 video card in a laptop.
Our company is going to a new "standard laptop" and this is the only video card option. I am trying to work out something to get them to upgrade our SW users to Dell m20's but I dont know if that is possible. I know seems crazy but sometimes large corporate decisions are.
I am wondering just how poor the SW performance is. There are some non open GL cards like the Nvidea FX Go 5200 and 5700 that I have heard dont perform that bad.
Thanks,
Josh

If you make a high performance engine... your not going to use the stock flat piston's would you? Heck no, you would go with the dropped forged Domed pistons.

It has trouble working/displaying anything over about 350 components, even eDrawings. I'm not sure if you call that non-power user, but I would.

It's my Internet Computer, but when I run SW on it it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. For a single part it's fine. If I open an assembly it's fine or drawing for that matter. But If I have any of the above open and open a 2nd file (Part, assembly or drawing) I might as well just go take a looooong break. Because it takes for ever to open that 2nd file.
