Hi Guys Check out the benchmarks provided by this website

http://ppbm5.com/DB-PPBM5-2.php

Also, I have mailed the guy who wrote this: http://www.studio1productions.com/Articles/PremiereCS5.htm and he says:
Quote:
Go with the GTX680 over the Quadro 4000. The Quadro 4000 is old technology, based on the GTX 400 series of video cards. The Quadro 4000 is over priced and under powered.

I don’t talk about the Quadro cards because very few people use them. I have not tested them myself, however, there is a post production house in Orlando where I know the owners. Last year, they switched from a Quadro 4000 card to the GTX580 and said that the GTX580 was much faster. For the timeline, they saw approx. 20% speed increase with the GTX580 over the Quadro 4000 and when they exported to a MPEG 2 DVD, they said the export times where almost twice as fast with the GTX580.

There is a website called www.ppbm5.com where you can see benchmark results using a Premiere CS5 project to test various video cards on different systems. You will see the Quadro lags behind the GTX580.

Best Regards
Dave

So looks like I'll be getting a 580 or 680.

-->Thanks all for your help!<--

wait - i'm confused, do you have a SolidWorks requirement or Adobe Creative Suite requirement? These are two totally different animals and if I am not mistaken, SolidWorks is probably optimized to use professional workstation graphics cards.

please do research, no offense to some people here but they might have just heard that quadros are good for that kind of thing.
I'm a 3d artist, not very experienced in it, but maya and 3dsmax use cpu for most of their rendering and by most i mean a huge chunk of it, graphics cards don't do as much work.

That being said i can't speak for cad or solidworks, don't know how they work. So do some research

Workstation cards are being phased out..

If your using newer versions of solidworks/autocad/invented you want a consumer card and powerful CPU.. 2600k+


2500k is also a good buy but it really starts to suffer in bigger assemblies

lol, unless you are doing either massive solidworks or rendering in revit with live high-detail textures, there is no need for any of those cards. even if are, your $ is much more better off in a better CPU than a GPU

I always get a kick out of all the college jokers in here who have yet to finish school and always suggest cards that are way above their needs.

all this from an IT guy/drafter at one of the largest architecture firms in texas.

I can go on and on why you don't need a high powered card. But w/e.

i'm not trolling son, and if you are only doing 2d drafting, an old p4 with onboard graphics will run autocad just fine, and depending on what year of autocad you use, autocad only uses one core.
sure other more advanced BIM programs will need more power, but it really depends on what you are doing.

for example, if you are playing minesweeper, do you really need a gtx 680 to run it?

so if you are only doing simple 2d drawings, do you really need a card built for 3d rendering?

but if you have the money to spend, just buy the best consumer class card you can, either way, unless you are doing heavy 3d renderings with animations, fluid or structural dynamics, it wont matter if you are using onboard or a quadro, since most of the modleing views are computed by the processor.
