I need to help a user who is doing 3d modelling and rendering work at the office. The most complex scenes are indoor scenes, they are doing industrial design.
The complaint is about the viewport, she says that it is impossible to move the scene/camera in the editor. I am thinking of upgrading the gfx card in order to solve this problem. Which GTX card out there performs the best for price? (Can't afford a 780 or a Titan)
The hardware details of the computer that needs the upgrade:
Processor
Graphics Card
Motherboard
Memory
Do you think that other components other than the gfx card should be upgraded to improve the viewport response? thanks

I found out that even if the gfx card we are using a quadro, it basically sucks today
