Gabriella_A Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Good Evening... I have a pretty new pc - medium hardware configuration - to use with max /vray modeling and rendering. From the first minute I had LOTS of problems with the video card, an ATI 5770 ... first we thought that was a driver problem.. but the problems continued... Reading some forums appears that there are some series of the ATI 5770 with hardware problems... according to the support I flashed the bios of the card, but with no good results. I was ready to pick another card in warranty, but the local reseller said that he's having lot of problems with this video card , and suggested to me to change brand of card. What kind of card should I take replacing the 5770? I want to remain in the same range of price, but I am really upset with ATI, and I was thinking of a card with the CUDA options... that's a bad a idea? Please suggest!! thanks in advance, and forgive my basic english Gabriella Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJLynn Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 I don't know about everybody else, but I'm actually on vacation So I don't have much access here, but maybe you could get a Geforce 460 for the same price ballpark as the 5770... I see you're in Italy. I'm in Vernazza right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriella_A Posted July 27, 2010 Author Share Posted July 27, 2010 Uao ... I would stay in Vernazza too this morning How is the temperature? Here is really hot... I'm near Milan now , but in the next days I'll go to Naples and Sorrento . Thanks for the advice for the video card... my 5770 is re-starting to do artifacts and I really need to replace it as soon as possible... Now I'll go to see how good are the 3d benchmark for the 460 geforce... How about a Quadro fx? (1800 for example..) Are they a good value ? thanks again, Gabriella Buone Vacanze!!

John.RenderStream Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Please look at the CGA news graphics card evaluation article that we did with Jeff Mottle. I think it may help you. Based on our studies I think there are numerous options but for about the same price the FX 580 would be a decent choice. However, if you are okay with a game card and though we did not review it I think for $200 GTX 460 could be a great card. The issue is for overall viewport response we have never found game cards to be truly adequate and as a system builder we end up taking them back and replacing them with FX-cards (reference: Tim Saunders CG forum review of RenderStream workstations). -- John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
