It depends on how you intend to use you drafting program. You state that you use LT which make me suspect that you only draw in 2D and make fairly small models. In that case, most of the video cards used by good name computer manufacturers should be able to handle the load. The large and 3D models becoming more common with "Inventor" and the like need a card rated for good video games because of the need for a separate memory cache and rapid refresh time. If you think you may upgrade in the future and need the better capability try this link
