Well, I am going into the design field (Architecture being my current major, but considering Mechanical Design), and no matter what, I am going to be in need of a workstation computer for my digital drawings. I am going to be building an X58 system in July or so, and I have come across an interesting discussion.
I want a gaming powerhouse in my X58 system. I have heard nothing but horror stories (mostly from Tom's) about gaming with workstation graphics. So I am wondering if anyone has any experience using a Geforce or Radeon in CAD in stead of QuadroFX or FireGL. Can anyone shed some light on that? Is there any performance evaluation of Gaming GPU's versus Workstation GPU's in professional software? Again, anyone have experience?
I have more discussion around this subject I want to bring up, but I want to throw this out there.
