How much of a difference will a video card make when it comes to rendering?
I'm in the middle of building a system I plan to use for the next 3-5 years and was looking at the R9 290 card series. I game moderately but prefer to have stellar graphics when I do. That said I also hobby around in 3ds max and maya.
I'm moving from an i5 750 @ 2.67ghz with 4gb of ram and a GEForce GTX 260 Dell XPS.
The system I'm working on would be a 4790k OC'd to about 4.6-8 with air cooling Noctua NH-D14 on an Asus Z97-PRO mobo, 32gb DD3 dual channel 4x 8gb CAS 9 and I was considering the 290 card in either single or crossfire. All wrapped up in a Chaser MK-I.
Thoughts?
