Hello! I am currently working on building a PC and, on my search, I've read that some people have problems with some Nvidia cards when running Illustrator. For my PC, I was looking for a Intel I5 12400 with a GTX 1650 4GB or a RTX 3060 8GB. Should I have problems with it showing in the preferences of the program? Is the GTX better recommend than the RTX? I am not a gamer, so I will be using this for Ai, Ps and InD mostly. Maybe some 3D and videos in the future. 

Thanks very much!

Adobe seem to have stopped listing tested graphics cards for recent versions, but here is their list for the 2021 version:

I don't think there are specific reasons that cards not on this list would not work (although the most common category if issues people post here are possibly GPU bugs), just that these ones have been actually tested.

 

For my part, I currently have a GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop GPU that I haven't noticed any issues with so far. I had laptops with Quadro cards for a few years before now and had no problems with those either.
