Otherwise, I would assume that you wouldn't experience too many problems, but if you start getting dumped for no reason, or your screen freezes for no reason, then you will know.

The RADEON is designed for video games.
What you need is a video card that is designed for CAD.
Please look into the Quadro (as per Bamik) or the
ATI Fire GL 8800.

9xxx series videocards have for the most part the same gpu core as the firegl series.
the difference is on the driver side (for the most part)
ther is available modified drivers that detect your card as firegl series card, and gives you the same performance as the professional cards.
I have not tried this myself, but look into the details at

This is the program that have scripts that modifies the drivers for you.
Best of luck.

We tried the 9700 as a temporary fix when our video card went out and SolidWorks would lock up within a few minutes requiring us to end its task. We replaced that card with one of the FireGL cards and had no problems. As far as cards and SolidWorks go we have had the best result from the Quadro4 900.
