Generally speaking, having a dedicated graphics card in a laptop will be an upgrade over a system that uses a cpu/gpu on the same chip, specially if the card has its own onboard memory. As you know, the cost of a pro graphic card may be very high. </div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">A better option could (<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">perhaps)</span> be to look at gaming laptops with a dedicated RTX video card like a RTX 2060 or better. This way, you could spend more on RAM or a bigger SSD that will make a bigger difference in speed. ATI Vega cards maybe a better option as OpenCL is now used to speed up QGIS and ATI has a better support for that standard. I must admit thought that I have not been able to activate that option successfully on a Windows 10 machine with an RTX2060 but this will probably be fixed some day when this becomes more stable. </div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">For 3D AutoCad, it’s apparently faster with a pro card but I have never really noticed a difference. Perhaps a content creator could comment on this. My experience on workstations is that a high end gaming card is a better choice than a lower end pro card at the same price point.

I would like to know if it is strongly recommended to have a GeForce graphic card to use QGIS for every usage or if it is only necessary if doing complicated 3D modellations. As you surely know, the GeForce on a good Laptop raises the price and I wouldn't like
to by one with a lower quality to have this graphic card..</div>
