Is a Quad Core i5 with 4GB ram laptop sufficient enough to run HD Pro?

I just upgraded my laptop to an MSi with an i5-4200 processor, 8GB of RAM and a dedicated Nvidia GeForce 740M/2GB DDR3 GPU. HD Pro 2014 is amazingly fast at rendering 3D views now with no stuttering as I spin the model, zoom in, change floors in dollhouse view, etc. My latest file is nearly 23KB in size and has no problem rendering with a fully furnished house, 100 plants and a lot of terrain features & elevation changes. The only problem I'm having now is that the rendering wants to leave out my terrain breaks and retaining walls due to the complexity of my lot. I may start eliminating elements from inside the house so I can complete my garden plans. But to the point, I'm convinced that the dedicated video card was what made the renderings perform so flawlessly on my i5 laptop.
