The Titans are fantastic, but I haven't seen one priced at $1000 in
several weeks. I would also skip the Quadro line altogether, as those
cards don't offer nearly as much bang for your buck (where Redshift is
concerned!) as the upper tiers of the GTX line.
If you can find a Titan at $1000, I would find that to be a good deal.
But otherwise, I'd suggest a 780Ti 3GB. It's basically a Titan with half
the ram, and since last week's RS update to 1.0.12 introduced some
optimizations to memory management that basically reduce the memory
usage by half (in most cases, and YMMV), that 3GB will go a long way.
EVGA is releasing a 780 6GB for about $550, but please not that it is
NOT a 780/Ti/ 6GB. But I suppose you could buy 2 780 6GB cards and have
a system that would render faster than a single Titan, but for the same
price and with the same ram...

Hi, now that Redshift is officially out and running smoothly, I´d like
to ask you guys what
Graphic Cards for best GPU performance would be optimum for an I7
stream core?
I´m taking a look at:
EVGA EVGA GeForce GTX TITAN SuperClocked 6GB GDDR5 384bit, Dual-Link
DVI-I, DVI-D, HDMI,DP, SLI Ready Graphics Card Graphics Cards
06G-P4-2791-KR

But if I recall, there were some threads that were posted about the
performance of the Quadro K4000 vs Titan.
I can afford something of 1k cost ($1000) but before buying I would
like to ask if there´s a better (cheaper) option?
Like you all guys know, I´d like to take these considerations with
softimage and later on the year
transition fully to Modo 801.
So what are your thoughts / recommendations?
Thanks for sharing.
David.
