AutoCAD platform mostly uses only one core of the CPU for its tasks, so you should get the processor with the highest frequency. For AutoCAD LT best options right now is to use Intel’s Core i5 14600K for light workloads or for more demanding projects we recommend i7 14700K, which have both high clock speeds and a good number of cores for doing other things at the same time.
This workstation by default features the latest 14th Gen Intel CORE i5 14600K CPU at 5.30Ghz Max boost. and NVIDIA A2000 QUADRO workstation GPU to ensure the high performance when using AutoCAD platform. Our standard Fractal Design Chassis allows for virtually unlimited expansion for more storage or horsepower. In it's current configuration this system offers support for up to 4 displays, a plethera of USB connectivity including USB-C, and 5G Lan and WIFI. All Extreme PC workstations are designed to run cool and quiet with award winning airflow and sound dampening material lining. For AutoCAD LT use we recommend a workstation-class video card from NVIDIA (Quadro GPUs). Although GeForce cards are more cost-effective and powerful, they are not officially certified by Autodesk for AutoCAD. This means that if you have a software problem, you may not get full support from Autodesk. That is why we strongly advise using a Quadro card in any professional setting.
If you are a private user who knows how to use AutoCAD platform, you should choose powerful GeForce cards. You are a power user who does not need Autodesk’s support. GeForce GPUs for consumers offer much more performance for the same price than Quadro GPUs for professionals. You can use consumer Nvidia cards for professional software with Nvidia Studio drivers. For 2D AutoCAD tasks from light to heavy, the GPU choice is not very important. For 3D tasks that are small to moderate, we suggest the ASUS or MSI Nvidia RTX 4060 8GB for its larger CUDA core count and incredible price to performance ratio.
Purpose Built | AutoCAD
AutoCAD platform mostly uses only one core of the CPU for its tasks, so you should get the processor with the highest frequency. For AutoCAD best options right now is to use Intel’s Core i9 14900K or i7 14700K, which have both high clock speeds and a good number of cores for doing other things at the same time. The only times AutoCAD can use more than one core are for 2D Regeneration and Mental Ray rendering. 2D Regeneration is not very demanding, so you don’t need to worry about it when choosing a CPU, but if you do a lot of rending with Mental Ray you may want to get a processor with more cores. In that case, you should check out different Extreme PC rendering workstations.
When looking for AutoCAD, please change the CPU choice in the configuration to Intel’s Core i9 14900K CPU at 6.0Ghz Max boost and NVIDIA A4000 QUADRO workstation GPU or higher depending on complexity of your projects, to ensure the high performance. Our standard Fractal Design Chassis allows for virtually unlimited expansion for more storage or horsepower. In it's current configuration this system offers support for up to 4 displays, a plethera of USB connectivity including USB-C, and 5G Lan and WIFI. All Extreme PC workstations are designed to run cool and quiet with award winning airflow and sound dampening material lining. Also for AutoCAD use we recommend a workstation-class video card from NVIDIA (Quadro GPUs). Although GeForce cards are more cost-effective and powerful, they are not officially certified by Autodesk for AutoCAD. This means that if you have a software problem, you may not get full support from Autodesk. That is why we strongly advise using a Quadro card in any professional setting.

GeForce GPUs for consumers offer much more performance for the same price than Quadro GPUs for professionals. You can use consumer Nvidia cards for professional software with Nvidia Studio drivers. For 2D AutoCAD tasks from light to heavy, the GPU choice is not very important. For 3D tasks that are medium to large in size, we suggest the ASUS or MSI Nvidia RTX 4080 Super 16GB for its large video-RAM and many CUDA cores. This lets you work on bigger and more detailed 3D scenes with faster frame rates.
