Grahics card for SolidWorks

[stinkfist]

Which card is better for SolidWorks and MAstercam... my Integrated Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator HD or a NVIDIA Quadro FX380 256 MB GDDR3 Graphics Card?

FX380 will be much, much better.

I'm running a FX380 right now with Solidworks 2011 on my old 32bit PC, (although I'm not using mastercam so can't comment on that) it handles Solidworks a million times better than the onboard intel did before and actually gives lots of new features (glowing surfaces when you pick them instead of a flat colour!) well worth it and there super cheap right now!
