Hi,
Currently I am running Solidworks PCB on a laptop with Nvidia Quadro K1100M, the problem is that the program is utilizing the 3D capabilites of the Nvidia chipset. The driver has been configured to use the Nvidia CPU when using this program. Solidworks 2017 Premium (Not the PCB) takes advantage of this directly.
I suggest R&D take a look at this, the Graphics Power is there, why not use it ;-)
