external GPU for Mastercam?

Will it run any smoother through a external GPU and if so what is a good direction to go on a budget?

It would help if you gave us your system specifications so we know where you are starting. Personally I have had better luck with Nvidia Geforce cards rather than Radeons, although newer Radeons may be fine too. I'm using a Geforce GTX 760 which runs fine on MC 2021.

Radeon is a last choice for Mastercam, GeForce is a gaming card, but OK for light work

Quadro is the preferred choice for Mastercam

what Quadro Card can I upgrade to  from my K620?

[gcode 12,306]

a Quadro 2000 or 4000  are a good choice

The newest versions are the RTX line

I run an RTX4000 at home and a Quadro 4000 at work

The RTX is noticeably faster launching and running Verify sessions
