Reccomended hardware.
(OP)
My workplace is doing a computer upgrade very soon. I was wondering what the importance of those professional video cards such as the quadro are. For the price of the lowest end quadro you can pretty much get a top of the line gaming card. We don't want to spend a lot of money on the card if at all possible.
We are thinking of getting either a pentium 840 or athlon x2 4800+ machine and was wondering what kind of card to get. Price is a concern. We are running NX2 and NX3. These are not UG only machines as only about 50% of our workload is actually graphics based.
In short.. what is the cheapest hardware that will run somewhat complicated NX3 assemblies and run custom QT based software quickly?

RE: Reccomended hardware.
The higher the SPEC test number the faster the card will be able to manipulate and shade your model.
When running 3D solid modelling software, CPU, RAM and graphics card are not areas to skimp on.

"Fixed in the next release" should replace "Product First" as the PTC slogan.

It's a tough sell trying to get my company to upgrade. They'll just end up buying refurbish Blade 2000s probably.
I would love for them to get some PC based machines in here. Isn't it true that NX is now better on PC based machines rather than the Unix based machines?
