Hi,
I've almost finished my first time PC workstation build but find I can't settle on a graphics card.
Which of these 3 cards would be most suited to running programs such as Mudbox, Zbrush, 3DS Max, Maya and Photoshop?
My budget is about $700 - $1000 AUD. I keep going between the AMD Sapphire Firepro w7000 4gb, Nvidia Gigabyte GTX 780ti GHz Edition 3gb and the Nvidia Quadro K4000 3gb.
I also want to use the machine for gaming so am especially interested in the gtx consumer card - how would the 780ti handle 3D rendering and modelling compared to a workstation card?
I've heard the W7000 is better physical hardware than the K4000 in reviews and benchmarks but the nvidias in general have much better driver support.
With autodesk certified hardware I see the w7000 and the k4000 are listed as certified and recommended but not the gtx 780ti.
Instead they have the 690 and the titan. Would it be safe to assume that because those two are there that the 780ti should be too but the list hasn't been updated?
The 780 is there too but no certification...
The rest of the build is:
cpu: intel i7 4930K
cpu cooler: noctua nh-d15
mobo: Asus X79 Deluxe
ram: Ripjaws Z 64gb 2400
psu: seasonic x-850
os: windows 7 ultimate 64bit
ssd: samsung 840 evo 1tb
sshd: Seagate 4tb
Any help would be greatly appreciated
thanks
Xanthe
