Can  I use a AMD Radeon™ HD 6870 Graphics for AUTOCAD as well as AUTODESK INVENTOR. Please kindly reply to this post as soon as possible as I m goin to assemble by new desktop with "Alienware area 51."

 I am running Dual 1GB ATI Radeon HD 6870 on a alienware alx and it smokes using civil 3d. Rotating my projects in 3d (I Sq. Mile) with a lot of piping and utilities is unreal. i haven't found a upgraded driver for them yet for autocad so just running the one from dell and it works nice.

Thanx for the reply..... I m from Mechanical engineering side....Now i m goin with Alienware Aurora..... It also has  Dual 1 Gb AMD ATI Radeon 6870 HD........Should I go for it ......Reply it with YES / No......?????
If no then pls recommend me the best Graphic card.....can i latter customize the graphic card to my alienware....to NVIDIA or any other brand...
 
Awaiting  for Reply........

This is a definite yes. Using the driver supplied by dell
works perfectly. Perhaps in the future a driver designed for the cad world will
be available but for now you will not regret the decision. I am on the civil
side and do a lot of gis work. With the esri product. Images on both and I am very
impressed with the performance. I am also running 6 i7 970 processors.

Now I m goin with this configuration can u please check and tell me if this one is perfect for runnig--AUTOCAD----AUTODESK INVENTOR-----PRO-ENGINEERING like of softwares......Module DescriptionShow DetailsSystem ColorStealth Black with Soft Touch FinishOperating SystemGenuine Windows® 7 Ultimate, 64bit, EnglishProcessorIntel® Core™ i7 2720QM 2.2GHz (3.3GHz w/Turbo Boost, 6MB Cache)Memory6GB DDR3 at 1600MHzA/C AdapterAlienware M14X 150W A/C AdapterDisplay Panel14.0" High Def+ (900p/1600x900) with WLED backlightVideo Card3.0GB DDR3 NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 555M using NVIDIA Optimus™ technologyHard Drive500GB 7200RPM SATA 3Gb/sNameplatePersonalized Plate (Amandeep Singh)AlienFXMars RedHinge UpHinge Up WLAN -BLACKAdobe Reader Acrobat SWAdobe Acrobat X ReaderOptical Drive8x SuperMulti DVD±R/RW Slot Load Optical DriveAudioSoundblaster® X-Fi™ Hi Def Audio - Software EnabledWirelessIntel® Advanced-N WiFi Link 6250 a/g/n 2x2 MIMO Technology with WiMaxPlease answer with a YES  /  No ----to go with this configuration....
