A work colleague has just pressed fire on a new Ryzen build for programming and needs a GPU. He also does light CAD work with his 3D printer - nothing on a professional level.
I've got two GPUs sitting around - a Radeon 7850 and a GTX 970. Would there be a substantial difference in CAD performance between the 7850 and the 970? This is just a stopgap GPU for now until the GPU world gets a bit back to normal. He's currently using Intel UHD graphics so anything is a bonus really.
I'm mostly asking from a moral standpoint - do I send up the 7850 for £20 + shipping or something, or take the extra step to £60 + shipping or so for the 970? Is he really going to notice that extra 40 quid spend...?
