If the budget can afford it get the highest geforce quatro card you can get as it's one of the best cards for cad out there without spending way to much for something like a wildcat, if it can't afford it get an FX5900 card, don't get the lower end 3Dlab cards either, they are overpriced and their perfomance is only compairable with the geforce 4 ti series cards on cad apps.
I disagree. All the ATI cards I have used (for CAD or otherwise) have been very good to me. Sounds like a user/driver issue to me!
