![]() ![]() I am from pre-Windows stock, and I still remember Rotring inkpens on the drawing board, and those huge CRT monitors that only had green/white on a black screen (you youngsters are SO spoilt nowadays….LOL). ![]() ![]() So, you may ask, why am I waxing lyrical about GPUs again? Well, I come from a generation of CAD users who started out on MS-DOS, and if you don’t know what MS-DOS is, I suggest you Google it. I run a superb Armari Magentar desktop PC for my archviz work which is running an AMD Radeon Pro WX 8200 GPU under the hood for some incredible graphics grunt when I need it and my MacBook Pro 15 is running a mobile AMD GPU, the AMD Radeon Pro 560X which handles all of my day-to-day AutoCAD and Revit needs on a laptop MORE than adequately too. This meant I got AutoCAD 2021 on Windows and MacOS at the same time! There is a running joke that the best way to run Windows is on a Mac, but this gives me the best of both worlds, as I can also run AutoCAD for Mac too, and it’s great to see that Autodesk have brought the release dates in line for both AutoCAD WinOS and AutoCAD MacOS. Some of you may or may not know, but I run ALL my Autodesk Windows-based software on a MacBook Pro 15, using Apple Bootcamp. AMD provide the Radeon Pro range of GPUs that I use and trust in my hardware. Before, I start though, I want you all to know that there are MANY Graphic Processing Unit (GPU) manufacturers out there, just for the sake of non-bias. Both AutoCAD and Revit now support some incredible 4K and HD monitors, providing you have the necessary hardware. Now I know I have blogged about this before, but I just want to get this out there. I might also revisit some previous topics to add a bit more detail. I am going to keep on blogging though! Partly, to stay sane, but also to give you all a great armory of CAD/BIM tips and tricks that you may need for the weeks to come. It’s the start of another week in lockdown for me here in the UK, and I’m sure most of you are currently working from home due to this nasty Coronavirus (COVID-19), and I sincerely hope you and all your family members are safe and well.
