  Graphics cards are used for games. They are mostly useless for rendering
and CAD design. (Even if the CAD program does use hardware acceleration,
most CAD programs still keep the visuals so simple that even older cards
will suffice.)

  You might get *some* speed benefit in the smoothness of CAD previews, but
I doubt it's really worth all that money.

  Now, if you also play games, that's a different story completely.
