Video Card Purchase

But, it's $1000 more expensive than the 970.

[Neilg]

it's 3x as much as the 970, and the 970 is faster.

I bought recently a 780ti, couldn't be happier with the card. Under $1 grand, quiet less power consumption, works well in max/maya. In fact I did comparison between quadro 4000 I have in my dell and this one and it outperforms the quadro even in viewport, even in component editing modes which is where quadro suppose to win.

I'm personally hoping that rumor about 8GB version of 970/980 is true. After seeing what new RT can do (with working noise threshold (adaptive rendering) and LC) I believe that in 2-3 years 95% of content we produce will be rendered in GPU (CUDA). And 8GB of memory is good starting point. Also they are quite cheap. From my initial tests I can tell that 4 x 970 ($1596) can be as fast as 24 x i7 4770K ($8040) and this price doesn't take into account other PC components.

I'm working with a k4000 now, and I'm not impressed at all. haven't worked with a quadro in years, and as I expected it's not really worth the money. at least if you work with 3ds max, don't know how they may perform with other 3d programs.

I finally got around to ordering it.

If all works out, I'll order another one; I can have two. How does that work with VRay RT

[wyszolmirski]

Good choice. It will work great with RT. From what I know you can put as many GPUs as your motherboard can handle and RT will be able to utilize it.

You may need early SP1 build though for everything to run smoothly.

Best,

[AndresAhumada]

The new titan 2 its the 980 whit esteroids and 16bg

[glorybound]

We'll be streaming everything in a year

[Dariusz Makowski (Dadal)]

Dont buy it. They are like half releases. The next series is going to be full GPU processor. This one as far as I remember is just slightly beefed up 780 or so...
