Which graphics cards are appropriate for AutoCAD Civil 3d 2021? (aiming for a suitable range, not just the lowest or highest specs) As I understand it, a minimum of 4GB is necessary!

Is this intended for professional use or just personal use at home? I’d likely stick with a Nvidia card, though any recent model would work. For casual home gaming, a standard gaming card is fine; for work tasks, I’d upgrade to a Quadro card.

I’ve used 2022 Autocad LT, AutoCad, and Autocad Electrical on a GTX 780 Ti at work before. Most colleagues run Quadro P2200 cards with Solidworks 2022, AutoCAD, Siemens NX 12, and Delcam. I also ran most of these alongside Fusion 360 on my 780 Ti, except recently switching to a P2200.

For projects using AutoCAD Civil 3d 2021 or later up to 2023, this is the right information.
I was considering purchasing a NVIDIA GeForce GT 730, but how could that be?
I have a dedicated video memory of 4096 MB.
I’ve been wearing glasses for a long time—what card would suit me best?
