but i trying to figure out which video card i should use. Seeing as i will be spending upwards of 2gs on this video card i though i should ask any of you hardware gurus what you think.
I have had my eye on a 512 nVidia Quadro FX 4400
but then i saw the 1 GB Quadro FX 4400 X2 (512 MB for each graphics core)
and also the 1 GB Quadro FX 5500.
Does anyone here have any experience with these cards? +/- of them.
I will be using this workstation for Geophysics modeling, 2D and 3D.
if you are working in open gl mode...this card will rock...
but with direct9 aplications it's nonsense...
and the price for a 4400 oder even a 5500 is so massive
my suggestion(i work on it with maya & 3dmax) is a geforce 7950 with 2x gpu's
or going crazy and build a sli-system with two 7950...but i don't know which app this can use...
and the second part...no xeons!!!
i think you are mean the 3,2 dual core dp 5060 cpu with 2mb er cpu
search for some hardware benchmarks on the net...
and you will see opterons even the opteron 250 runs faster than a 3,6 xeon...
i bought a similar system and i hate it ...
it's my opinion...
greetings from WM-germany...
Wow- thanks for the reply. I though some of our other users would know about profesional video cards but i guess not. Anyways thanks again.
Well my work station is coming either tomorow or on monday and i went with the Quadro 4500. It was 2 Grand Canadian, but thats nothing compared to the duel 24 inch moniters im getting. I went high end also becasue i needed the tax write off.
Crap, well im getting duel 3.6 xeons. Hope it works good. It what the company thats providing my interpretation software recomended.
And i upped it to 4 GB of ram, but i think i might just put in 8 GB. 3D sciesmic interpretations can eat alot of ram. And i abandoned the SCSI3 drives, i dont need any temperature compensation. So now i should have about 1 TB of storage, 2 TB mirrored with SATA drives.
