Can anyone tell me which would run faster in Maya:
A new 7900GT/GTX or a QuadroFX 4000 / 3400 / FX1500
I do a lot of 3D work in Maya that requires a LOT of texturing, specifically building game levels. I'm upgrading to a Conroe E6600 system soon and I want to get a good card, but I have no idea the performance differences in Maya with a Quadro vs a gaming card.
I'm wondering if the raw speed of the 7900GT or GTX would trump the Quadro benefits on these two slower cards. Or even if someone can point me to a comparison of Quadros with gaming cards in Maya, I'd appreciate it. An older FX4000(softmod) or FX3400 / 3450 class card isn't out of my price range totally, and neither is the Quadro 1500 (slower, but newer GPU) but I'd really have to know it was worth it over the GTX to spend the $$$ (specifically in Maya).
Thanks,
Augie
