AMD cards actually run creative software better due to their wonderful OpenCL support, CUDA is kind of falling off, and nvidia hasn't caught up with the open standards yet. If you can't afford a Quadro or FirePro, go with an AMD 7700 or 7800 series.

Thanks for your reply Jaxem, I think it will be useful. However, I'd like you to tell me which of the graphic cards I wrote in my question you would suggest me for running autocad, please. Thanks.

2. gigabyte hd 7850 1gb

the problem is that in my country(Peru) it is really hard and expensive to get one of those graphic cards you are suggesting me. that's why I'm seeking the solution in one of the three graphic cards I listed above. I would be really thankful if you could keep on helping me with your replies.
