Hi Guys,

I am looking for some help. I want to know what would be best for programs like Autodesk Inventor 2017 or Autocad 2017. Should I look at buy something like a Quadro K620 or the geforce 1050ti. Both of them fall in the same sort of price range

1050Ti is a much faster card on paper, and in gaming. Uses much more recent GPU as well. However, when it comes to performance in your apps, it is slower than that quadro, as it simply does not have "special" drivers for those programs, as quadros do. Quadro cards also support higher number of displays at the same time (K620 supports 4 of them), higher color precision (30-bit in the case of K620) and several other features. If no gaming is planned, Quadro is still the way to go.

The more expensive quadro solutions also offer better GPUs and much more VRAM, so if any of them appears to be within your budget, consider that as well.

In general, if you do the pro work and don't care about gaming, Quadro cards are worth it. When you compare the equally priced models of quadro and geforce, you usually get much lower GPU specs in quadro, at least on paper. In practice though, quadro easily outperforms a "comparable" geforce card in all professional tasks, due to highly optimised drivers and several exclusive GPU features available only on quadro cards.

It is a much tougher call if you also game on that machine - you have to decide what is more important to you, and if both things are equally important I'd give an edge to Geforce 1050Ti.

Thanks for the advice. These are all work PC's so no games will be played on them. Purely used for work related stuff. Would you still consider them better if the card like the k620 was released almost 2 years ago and the 1050ti is a much newer card?
