The system requirements are on the softwares website (at least solidworks is) also there are many reviews on graphics cards on the solidworks forum.

 

I think this link may be useful to you.

Just googling the softwares name plus system requirements usually gets you the minimum requirements but usually these are a bit low. Id say go a bit over to get the specs where everything runs smooth. Sometimes they have minimum system requirements and then recommended system requirements

Minimum: 512MB RAM
