    I'm sure it can do it. The question is how quickly.

    What are the recommended GPUs for Solidworks? You can then compare the GPUs using this table at notebookcheck. The Precision series have more powerful GPUs than the Latitudes so one of those may be an alternative.

    Where does that table get it's numbers from. Looks useful but I don't trust "submissions" from people and have yet to see any reviewers with a E6400 or E6500 with a gfx card.

    Notebookcheck also has reviews or they may take numbers from other reviews. Point at any of the results and a tooltip will show how many results were used and what the values were.

    I think they have also positioned the NVS GPUs according to the nearest equivalent hardware.

    That table may not be perfect but it's better than nothing. I look for performance differences of 50% before considering them significant.
