Quadro 4000 is it worth $1000or stick with 480GTX

[Srek]

Regardless which of those graphics cards you buy, you will find that your outdated CPU is the main bottlneck.

thnks for the respond Srek
U are right the cpu is a bottleneck and the motherbord is nvidia chipset its so buggy .
But i know that maya viewport it mostly depends on the GPU .

Mainly what i need is a card that can make the viewport much faster.

While drawing the viewport depends on the GPU, the problem you are having (selecting or changing components on a dense mesh) is 100% CPU related.

You could connect a space shuttle with an HDMI port to your PCI-E slot, and manipulating large meshes will still be inefficient due to your CPU.

thnks for responding ThE_JacO

But witch card u think is best

You might want to take the $1000 and build a new system for your GTX 480.

thanks for respond AJ1

I have to wait for that $1000 not enough for what i have in mind .

I have an opportunity and i have to take it just bunch of models for a card.

You wouldn't see much of a gain in performance moving to that quadro to begin with if it was a situation where it mattered. In the situation you describe it matters not at all, so if you're trying to fix your immediate problem find a 2nd hand i7 with a p6t or some other solid but cheap mobo and upgrade everything EXCEPT the videocard. It will more than fit in a 1k budget.

What theyre trying to say is, dont buy any gfx card. The card you have is a good match for your current machine. If you upgrade the gfx card, almost nothing will change because the cpu cannot feed the gpu fast enough. Wait til you have more money then do the entire machine.

I will wait til i can buy an new pc

thnks for everyone for the responds

I hope it helps.

would have been nice to see them bench against newer nvidia professional cards instead of stuff nearly 3 years old.

all those benchmarks and not even a mention of viewport 2.0 performance?

With viewport 2.0 changing the playing field, I'm not sure any of these benchmarks are really relevant anymore.

AMD cards have long been the higher performing cards for maya's default viewport, but the FPS performance doesn't tell the whole story such as correct drawing, selection lag, ability to launch multiple instances of maya.

The AMD cards have always been hit or miss in that regard. You almost never know exactly what you're getting until it's in your machine.
