Capa Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Hey guys, I recently invested in the EVGA SR-2 mb (soon to arrive) and i've been kinda reluctant in spending more $ without getting some opinions . I am an artist working with photography and animation and i am studying Architecture. Therefor i am interested in getting an (offline) LONGTERM workstation, to work in my studio, only with graphic&visual arts. I currently work with Blender and Aperture and AutoCAD(in a 2nd PC) but i am moving towards Archicad and 3D Max (while Rhino is still BEta) , hoping to have all software in the same machine. .Current OS _ Mac OS X 10.5.8 ( i will update to Snow when i complete the workstation.) (Evidently with 3D Max i will have Windows 7 installed as well.) .Processor _ (aiming to) Intel Xeon X5650, and add the 2nd processor later. So , here goes : 1-With EVGA Sr2 should i go for NVIDIA Quadro FX1800 , or should i try to flash the 8800GT or the 295GTX ? 2- Would i be able to update the tower's GPU power, in the future, with SLI spending less $ with GT GPUs connected to the Quadro in #1 slot, or will i have to stick with Quadro all the way ? Appreciate some facts and opinions Thanks very much cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
