@RMN, you said you'll be mostly into 3D and rendering, rite?
I heard people suggesting Quadro series graphics card for this kind of work..
Have you considered it?
And can anybody say why Quadro series are better? LIke a Quadro570 (256MB DDR2) costs 9.6k approx while a Quadro 1500(256MB DDR3) costs 17.5k approx
Does the DDR3 justify this much price difference?

And suppose i go for the Quadro 570, can anyone suggest a good mobo and PSU? any specific UPS to go along with the PSU? Lets say, the processor is Q6600

quadro series are better cos ..they have better optimizations for various products u might use ..and quadro series is all about driver support for various expensive softwares and thats what makes their prices high ...

but yes DDR3 is much better than DDR3 ..and remember its GDDR ..not the normal DDR ...

and actually quadro 570 is entry level model and quadro fx 1500 is better u can say mid range model so u can't compare them two like that ...


for more lnfo look for the last few posts here ...don't want to discuss the same thing at ten different places ...

whats ur budget ...??

 

[RMN]

well Quadro sounds out of my budget!

hmmm.....guys my local store only has Sapphire HD4850.is it as good as Palit?and which is easier to OC?

 

[Psychosocial]

Both are equal in performance (there might be 1-2FPS difference ) but the Palit runs cooler coz of some firmware updates and the cooler. Both must be same to OC. All in all Sapphire aint a bad option......go for it if its the only choice.

 

[comp@ddict]

Sapphire is a li'l more costly, bu it is AMD's most trusted distributor....so dun worry. OC will be good. But such a monster doesn't need OCing
