There are any number of Graphic Cards released each year but only those designed for Workstations / CAD usage should be considered for a CAD / CAE workstation.
This is especially the case when selecting a Graphics Card.

The answer will invariably depend on the type of work your company does, the size and the complexity of the models and drawings which you will create. We are often asked to advise on the best hardware to run SOLIDWORKS and your other CAE applications on.
