Graphics Cards for CAD

in General
I have noticed that my laptop is struggling when moving objects around in larger assemblies (300+ parts). The model is stuttering/framerate drops heavily. Especially when creating section cuts I am barely able to navigate. To be clear: I am having trouble with framerates after the model has been fully regenerated.
This is a graphics card issue IMO. Is this correct? I have made sure that all the things listed on the hardware and graphics performance recommendations page from Onshape are fulfilled. Doing the performance test gives me a very high rating for overall performance. Now I am unsure if a better graphics card will reduce my stuttering issues, since I apparently already have good performance? I have included the GPU check from chrome as well, making sure hardware acceleration is enabled.
I am considering buying a desktop. My laptop currently has a AMD Radeon RX550 card and the desktop im looking at would have an nVidia Geforce GTX1660. I read online that there are graphics cards that may be powerful but not well suited for CAD design as they are catered more towards gaming and vice versa. Does anybody know if the GTX1660 is suitable for CAD?
Any help is appreciated.
