Quick question for Vlado and anyone else here:
Looking at GPU prices here in the UK a Quadro 2000 is priced almost exactly the same as a GeForce GTX 680. In the past we've always bought Quadros, but if you were building a cheapish workstation to use for general 3ds Max use which GPU would you go for?
I use a bit of RT when setting up lighting/textures etc, and final frames would be rendered on our farm, so we're not looking to do final frames on RT, but I would like to use RT more (it's a bit slow on a Q2000). Also, how does the viewport performance in Max compare between using a Q2000 or GTX580 these days? Seeing as 3ds Max now has it's own Nitrous viewport driver I was wondering if powerful gaming cards give worse, the same or better performance than a Quadro.
Our main work is architectural visualisation with very high poly counts, loads of proxies and massive textures.
Thanks in advance!
