I want to be able to run autocad like butter, but right now all I have is a Nvidia GT220. It can't run it fast enough. I was looking into buying the 6870 from ati, but I was also looking at the GTX 460 or something along those lines. Any help would be appreciated.|||The Autodesk site provides a list of certified hardware for running AutoCAD:

I have found the Nvidia Quadro cards to be fast and stable as they have drivers specifically optimised for running AutoCAD and other 3D CAD apps:
On the page below, look at the video titled 'See the productivity advantage you get in AutoCAD 2011 when using Quadro.'
http://www.nvidia.com/object/bfp_autocad…
It gives a comparison between Quadro cards and consumer cards.|||The GT 220 seems good enough for basic use.
Anyway, for autocad i would recommend ATI because it has a VERY high amount of Texels or T/s (which is good for inventor). The nvidia GTX 460 is cheaper then the 6870 (on newegg.com ) And would be sufficient enough for tasks on autocad that are pretty complex. And the 6870 is just as good.
All in all i would actually go with the 6870. It will be very good for software like autocad. (20,000 Mpixels and 50,000 MTexels/s) Which is better then the 460.
**Edit- Wow i said that? Sorry listen to the one above
