Hello all,
So, the past few days in the last week i've been testing Octane and Iray with a GTX 590 to see if i suited to this gpu renderer workflow and it turns out... i didn't adjusted. I'm aware that the GTX590 isn't the ideal card (memory wise), but i just wanted to grab a speedy card and see how it performed. There are many things to mature still (software and hardware wise) and i don't feel comfortable toasting a gaming card for hours to do an interior render that i can do in vray in much less time.
So, that brings me to the main subject: Previously i had a HD5450 on this workstation and i'm now stuck with a GTX 590 and i really don't need that much power.
3ds maxViewport performance on the gtx 590 is smoother than on the hd 5450 (as anyone expects anyways...) but i really didn't feel that it justified the price difference as i do a lot of layering inside 3ds max and almost never get my viewport to show gigazillion polygons.
I'm thinking in ditching the HD5450, sell the GTX 590 (don't need that much power) and get a similar performer to the GTX590 in 3ds max viewport and save the change. Any advices? Perhaps a used GTX460, 570 or 560?
No Quadro's for me thanks The nvidia 600's series are out of my budget and from what i can see from forums posts they don't offer any increased performance in 3ds max viewport compared to 400 and 500's series. That is... unless someone proves me wrong
