    GTX-480 vs quadro 4000

    @CorBlimeyLimey Call me paranoid but it makes me feel like somebody does not want us to know that gaming will do a similar job for half the price. I think I'm going to test my own Radeon HD5850 against the Quadro 4000 in my build and see if there is a noticeable difference in everyday usage. We...

    GTX-480 vs quadro 4000

    Thanks for the input, I do not have time to take the guess about the GPU so it will be quadro 4000 or fx1800 but I am really skeptical about how it can impact stability that much. Plus saying that a small 3 year old 54watt card (fx1800) will not cost significant loss in performance vs a new...

    GTX-480 vs quadro 4000

    Thanks a lot for the fast response. Solidworks seems to only load one thread on my current system so I thought that a dual core would probably perform better than a quad at lower frequency. Am I wrong ? So even if they are in theories less powerful you still recommend a certified card ...

    GTX-480 vs quadro 4000

    Hi I'm building a solidworks workstation for large assembly and drawing with lots of view/detail/cut. Right now our main issue are instability, sluggish mate adding/editing and most assembly feature, very sluggish drawing as a whole. I'm planning for a i5-660 overclocked as much as possible +...
