I'm considering replacing an old NVS 295 with an HP WS095AA Nvidia Quadro 4000 2gb Pci Express 2.0 X16 Gddr5 Sdram Video Card The money is acceptable and I need better graphics as well for 3D cad/modeling and rendering performance. I'm wondering if I'm gonna have compatibility issues with my...

I'm considering replacing an old NVS 925 with an HP WS095AA Nvidia Quadro 4000 2gb Pci Express 2.0 X16 Gddr5 Sdram Video Card The money is acceptable and I need better graphics but I'm wondering if I'm gonna have compatibility issues as well. I have a single E5-2620 v3 chip, with 32GB DDR4...

Turns out that I was some what wrong regarding the memory usage as well. Apparently, the CPU is used for the computations in regards to the cad (& 3D) design work. Bigger, badder and faster are the recommendations. Getting a dual processor with multi-core and thread tech is recommended as is...

Turns out I can get a refurbished, dual processor, system complete with a single E5-2620 v3 chip, 32GB DDR4 memory and a Quadro NVS 295 video card and no HDD for $323.00 This chip is apparently a 6/12 core processor and I can add another chip and ram if I like - OR - Since the chip socket is a...

The short answer to that is. "No." I'm only guessing that increasing both will reduce my render time from days to hours. I imagine the GPU would be the hardest hit in regards to renders and the CPU in regards to wire frame cad work but that's based solely on what I logically see as the issues...

I spent the day looking at Intel's tech advances and after numerous hours have decided to add in a couple hundred more for an i9-9900k based system. Now I need to figure out how to economically put this monster together in an ATX (SFF?) style case along with all the bells and whistles. Took a...

I've been working happily for some 5 years now with an older, HP desktop system but about 2 years ago I started dabbling in 3D design and over the last 6 months, 3D-graphics and I'm outstripping the systems ability to render in reasonably acceptable time periods. Now I'm looking to upgrade and...
