Graphics Card for Modelling/Rendering and Gaming

Okay My Budget for the card is Rs. 13,000 INR and main purpose is to work on software like MAYA 2012, 3DS MAx, etc and gaming at more than 40 fps( with high settings turned on, in games like Assassins Creed Brotherhood, Crysis 2 etc.). I, therefore request you to suggest (Nvidia only) a latest graphics card that can handle both works smoothly.Thanks.

In your budget you will get a gtx 560 ti, i got a zotac 560 ti for 12900. It is a beast card for price. Zotac is a great company but if you can increase your budget to 14.5k you can get a msi gtx 560 ti twin froze OC , which is factory overclocked with two fans, i have heard it is also good.

Otherwise i am using a zotac gtx 560 ti , it is also an awesome card, i run gta 4 , crysis warhead on avg. of 60 fps on max!!

Thanks a lot for your advice but i have a doubt whether MSI GTX560ti twin frozr OC can handle the Softwares like Autodesk MAYA 2012 and 3DS Max for Modeliing and Rendering or not beside Gaming?

@Gaurav
If your man priority is ONLY MAYA or 3ds get a workstation card/ but since you want gaming too. its sensible more to get 560 Ti.

Answer is NO.

[H]ard|Forum - View Single Post - Desktop versus Workstation GPU's? - Here you see this guy complaining about how his GTX 470 half as fast as 8800 GTX.

PS: Latest Maya has tried to address this issue. Viewport 2.0 in Maya 2012 has improved performance on "gaming" Fermi cards.

Get a workstation card. Or get AMD HD 6950 2GB - for gaming and modeling.
