Is it a good idea to trade in my quadro K4000 for a setup with 2X GTX970? I know 3dsmax doesn’t support SLI, but VrayRT does support mutliple GPU’s. And also Octane benefits of multiple GPU’s.

Two 970’s would almost certainly be faster for GPU rendering than a single Quadro K4000. Plus, they have more VRAM (4 GB each). However, I have not done any direct comparisons… Best regards, Vlado

I have a gtx670 which can handle 10+ million polys in the viewport with no slowdown. chokes a little when i switch on all my 5k textures but that’s to be expected. This gets 5k points compared to the 970’s 9k, i think you’ll be fine. Just get one first and wait for someone else to try them in SLI i…

i think the pixel rate, memory bus and textures probably make a difference but it’s all kind of meaningless and impossible to figure out how much they contribute. it’s new, faster and cooler/silent.

Alright will keep you guys posted :slight_smile:

I got a GeForce 980 today for testing; it runs fine, but I seem to be spoilt by the quadro K6000 - the 980 is about 16% slower than the K6000. Best regards, Vlado

I’m guessing that’s for RT? How do they compare in viewport alone?

Nope, we don’t have one, unfortunately. We will probably get a couple of 980’s, but it’s a bit different than the 970’s. Even so it might be weeks before it reaches this part of the world.

Best regards,
Vlado
