Hi,
I decided to upgrade my machine:
Q9550 @ 2.83GHz
Quadro fx3800
8 GB ram
3DsMax + Vray + Photoshop
after reading Dimitri's blog I think that what he suggests as CG Workstation "the pro" could meet my needs: improve render time and explore gpu render (especially vray RT for a fast feedback but with an eye to octane too) so I could go for:
i7 3930K
quadro 4000
2 x gtx 670
32 Gb ram
this is probably best price/performance day by day machine instead a 2 x Xeon configuration.
My doubt now is if I should keep my fx3800 instead of upgrading for a new quadro 4000.
I don't know if a new generation Quadro4000 could considerably improve fluency on the viewport or maybe I can opt for a cheaper card Quadro or ATI but honestly I don't know which are the best options price/performance at the moment.
I work on architectural visuals and try to keep models light but I would like to explore more detailed models especially on the interiors to enanche realism (this is why I'm thinking to upgrade the quadro).
I would really appreciate suggestions on the configuration and quadro/ati choice.
thank you and sorry for the long post
