Umm, have you got a 3rd option? In this day and age less than 16GB RAM can work, butâŚwhy bother? Those video options are SIX and SEVEN years old, and low-end-when-new, so theyâre what you would call hopeless.
Dear John,
Would it be too much to ask you to comment on the suitability of this pc for running Rhino 7.
I am especially curious of its graphics capabilities.
Those âminiâ computers arenât meant for any sort of serious CAD work, theyâre for basic âofficeâ tasks, the only reason it has any use for 32GB of RAM is how much Chrome consumes. A more normal-sized used computer in the same price range would be much, much better. Its CPU dates back to 2015!?!?
If youâre concerned about graphics performance on a budget, then you need an actual graphics card, full stop! The newest and best Nvidia you can afford. Get a GeForce, donât bother with Quadro unless youâre getting the top-of-the-line. THATâS what you need to look for, not a cutesy form factor.
If youâre in need of a lower-cost solution, check out the Nvidia Quadro P400. It does pretty well with 16GB and a lower cost i5 or i7 CPU. Of course thereâs better, but thatâs a good solution to make Rhino work pretty well on a tight budget.
