I need to find out which graphics card to order. ( AMD or Quadro)For autocad 2018 I do 2D & little 3D work. Also insert pdf to dwg (open large files at times) Work with a lot of hatching with textures.

I have a:
Dell Precision Tower 5810 w/xeon e5-1650 v3
AMD Firepro w5100
With 16gb ram

AutoCAD is not particularly taxing on the GPU (or the CPU for that matter). I use 2015 and have used it with integrated graphics and Quadros. When you turn on the Hardware Acceleration in AutoCAD, the only difference i noticed i was able to drag around a larger quantity of things without reducing to a bounding box.

So, just buy whatever is cheaper, unless your using very large complicated 3D models, in which case AutoCAD probably isn't the right choice.
