Hello there,
ATM I'm a not very satisfied owner of two Quadros:
Quadro 4000 and Quadro 2000.
Both I use with my good old friends 3Ds Max 2011 + Vray and AutoCAD 2012.
In general everything's good. Both cards work great (with not a big difference in viewport performance) and sometimes I hope things will go a little bit faster.
The bad thing is both of them suck, in general.
First of this is the second time this year I send the Quadro 4000 to the service because the vent started to produce a lot of noise out of the sudden which is a bed. (The first one french-fried. Don't ask how because I don't know.)
The Quadro 2000 - after only 3 weeks of use, a high frequency ultrasound started to come out of it forcing my brain wiggle in its nest giving me headaches and such.
I'm. Tired. Of. This. Bull. Sheet.
Also I plan to advance to 3ds max 2013 soon and I wander:
What am I supposed to do?
What GPU I should get for the best VIEWPORT performance?
FirePro or Quadro? (please not again..)
Radeon or GeForce?
I went through a lot of benchmarks on the web which confused me even more.
Some say FirePro tear the Quadros apart but others say they don't have performance drivers.
Some say GeForces kickass but can't say wether in viewport or VrayRT or is it about D3D or Nitrous.
Some say Quadros are the way-to-go but they not very strong at CUDA.
Only one thing interests me:
What should I get for the best VIEWPORT performance with the smallest lag? (Without waiting 10 seconds every time I want to select and object)
I am not interested in GPU RENDERING.
Please help?:confused:
