Is there a dedicated graphics card in that PC?

Or is it just using the one that is on the motherboard?

If there is not a graphics card in it, are you able to borrow one to throw in that PC and test it?

Your CPU is better than the computer I am on now and I can run Rhino, MoI, Fusion 360, SpaceClaim, all without issues. Twelve years ago I ran SolidWorks on a laptop and imagine the specs of a laptop that long ago were like.

Computer is clean...so no overheating that I am aware of.
The on board graphics card is intel hd4600.
This machine is offline maybe I need to update it.

I dont have any graphics card to test out...the last video card I bought was a Hercules 3d prophet 32mb lol.

After that laptop only.

Thanks.

Hi Matadem, yes pretty much any AMD or Nvidia graphics card from the past 5 years or so would probably help it a lot. Even the lowest tier ones.
