Hi all,
First, I’m glad to join the blender’s community. Blender is great and so it is of all the people involved in it’s development.
I’m planning to buy a new computer for the main purpose of sculpting in blender 2.57. I’m not going to focus on renders.
Basically, I’ve came with a X58 motherboard, core i7 950 and 3x2Gb of PC 10600 value ram.
To fit my budget, a GPU should not cost more than 250€. I’ve came at first glance to a GTX 560 Ti 1Gb DDR5, but the seller strongly recommended me to exchange it for a Quadro 600 fermi, even for working with blender. After reading several discussion here and here, I’m not convinced that the quadro would be the right choice.
So, first, is the low end quadro 600 a better choice than the GTX 560 Ti at the same price? If not, is the GTX 560 Ti a good choice, or should I look toward another nvidia, or a radeon (for example the HD 6950 2 Gb)?
Thanks for your help!
