We got a computer and bought the other video card for testing. (we are looking replace our entire fleet of computers) Then we ran benchmark test to figure out which configuration had the best time resutls.

We used

While this is NOT the official position of Siemens PLM Software, I would ALWAYS opt for an NVIDIA card if it's offered as an option.
