Hey there all, looking to update either my work's mac or pc with a graphics card to render in Blender's Cycles renderer (since I'm relying on the CPU at the moment and want to use GPU).
So since Blender's Cycles only supports certain Nvidia cards I guess I have these questions:
1) Would 2 smaller graphics cards be better off for faster rendering compared to one large one, eg would 2 GTX570's be better than one Titan in regards to rendering speed and cost?
2) Since my mac is my main work computer could these kinds of graphics cards be put into it, if it's a:
Model Identifier: iMac12,2
Processor Name: Intel Core i5
Processor Speed: 3.1 GHz
Number of Processors: 1
Total Number of Cores: 4
L2 Cache (per Core): 256 KB
L3 Cache: 6 MB
Memory: 8 GB
whereas my pc is:
ACPI Multiporcessor x64 based PC
Intel Xeon CPU
2.26 GHz
12 GB RAM
XP
NVIDIA Quadro FX 1800
3) Does anyone else have a similar setup and could recommend me graphics cards to render from GPU in Blender's Cycles?
Thanks in advance.
