joshduncan Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Im planning on buying a new desktop system for a fairly small budget (~$1100 AUD) So far i know i can get a GPU-less system new for just over $800 including case and everything needed to operate (Intel HD 4600 with the CPU) Which includes CPU: i7 4770 3.4GHz HDD: 1TB 7200rpm RAM: 16GB 1600Mhz PSU: 750W = ~$810 AUD When it comes to GPU i am struggling to choose. I can get a GTX 760 2GB for $300 Or an Quadro K600 1Gb for about $200 I know that the GTX kills the K600 on most benchmarks but my main work will be inside 3DS and Vray CPU rendering, and i've read a few reviews showing the k600 with much higher viewport fps than the GTX 670 (and no doubt the 760). My main concerns are: - Will the 1gb ram of the k600 be crippling? - Will the GTX760 leave the K600 for dead in Vray active shade? - Will the K600 have the same advantages in performance in Adobe CS6 suite as in 3DS Max viewports, or will the GTX 760 stretch its legs here? Thanks in advanced! Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paneli Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 IMO the 760 will perform better then k600 in both VrayRT and viewports (3ds 2012 and above with nitrous) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirelhoxha Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I'm also interested in the same cards above ! I can't afford the quadro K2000 . So is gtx760 going to perform well in 3ds max viewport with heavy scenes or should i get the quadro K600 ?! I'm not interested in GPU rendering ! thnx in advanced !

Dimitris Tolios Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 If you are using new versions of 3DS (2013/2014 or newer), the GTX will do ok. Probably easily better than the K600. The K600 should have the upper hand only in older OpenGL applications, where GeForce driver optimization really does (sorry for the lack of better wording)...well...suck.

mirelhoxha Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 thnx for the reply ! i'm using 3ds max 2014 currently and i don't think i'm gone use an older version ! Maybe i could use revit for 3d modeling in the future , it is an opengl application ,isn't it ?! is gtx going to "suck" there ?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimitris Tolios Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 No, almost all mainstream Autodesk Apps are DirectX. AutoCAD, Revit, 3DS, Showcase etc. Even Maya past 2013 works fine in both OpenGL and D3D modes now with "gaming" cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
