I'm wondering which 1 would be of better use with Autodesk Inventor. But I know a lot of guys don't use this, ,so if u can relate with maya u can use it as reference.
The Cards I'm considering are: gtx 275 and hd4890
Now, yes they'll be used for gaming and from the recent graphics card charts the 4890 wins there.
BUT,
I also need to render in autocad and autodesk Inventor, i've heard sum random stuff about ATi drivers not being good for 3d rendering in these software environs, which is what lead to the consideration of the gtx 275.
Now, i also know that some ppl are gonna recommend flashing the cards....
just no, i cant afford to mess with the card too much...
Others may recommend quadros and firepros...i dont have that type of funding this is my personal build and im struggling along in university in Jamaica, and i have to worry about port taxes and such.
So plz throw in ur 2 cents and lets c which direction i should head in.
Also,
u c i dont kno, cuz the machine is down now cuz im waitin 4 my new cpu fan, case, and power supply 2 be shipped.
Its HOT in Jamaica, so i needed a bigger case for better ventilation. Now, i have a overclocked HIS HD 4850 which im selling to my friend, if he is willing to purchase buy July 20th, along with my old computer case and this should manage to pay for the card.
So my 7600gt sc is gonna be used after next weekend until the 20th july.
Now, i have run inventor on my laptop, 1.8ghz core 2 duo, 2gb ram, 8600gt supposedly up to 512mb; and it takes about 10-15 mins to render a cam at 1024 x 768, and i want to have a design down for my go cart project and hopefully my as yet undetermined final year project.
The time issue will come up as i am gonna be working thru my 3rd yr of university while tryin to get these projects of the ground.
So, while i have an ATI card, which by the way has never been used( power supply was apparently over rated for 500w), i have always been with Nvidia. From Geforce 2 ,4, 7600gt,8600gt and they have never really let me down and when i throw brand new software on them they usually fight and throw me up an image.
While this was happening, my ati friends where going through graphics card like potato chips as they would succumb to over heating, and if they did survive driver issues used to kill them. However, since the HD3k series i have come across sturdy cards which along with reviews here prompted me to purchase my his hd 4850 turbo.
However, based on my results with my 8600gt and its 512 mb of ram i think the card needs to be changed and based of what you are all saying im swaying to Nvida, but as inklimited sed the hd4980 has more processing power and more ram 1024mb vs the 768mb of the gtx 275, so im still reserved. Any 1 knows of any body running this softare on either of these cards?
My friend runs photoshop on a pair of 9800gt sli'd and he is telling me its all about the Processor and gpu ram for rendering.
ps
i have 2gb of corsair 800mhz ram, yes i know it will have to be increased, planning on buying a pair of 2gb of the same brand Christmas time along with a new monitor God willing

, @ OP, the two cards you are interested in trade blows as far as gaming performance is concerned and whereas the GTX275 uses less power at idle it consumes more under load, as I don't use either of the software apps you mention I don't know what kind of stresses they put the cards under, have you tried looking at the Usenet forums or the dedicated Autocad forums?
