Dear all,
We have a budget of $12,000. for GPU Workstation. We will be running Gromacs for MD especially in Membrane protein system.Kindly give the suggestions for the below 1. Provide me the suggestion for the below configuration / There will be any load imbalance with processor and GPU ?,bottleneck problems ?? or any modification I have to make such as increasing core /speed of processors .etc ? Intel Xeon E5-2620 V4 2.1GHz 8-Core Processor x 2 C612 Chipset 64GB (4 x 16GB) Registered DDR4-2133 Memory GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB x 4 (4-way SLI) 3TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive PS. I have checked new GTX 1070 Card ,unfortunately, it's not supporting the 4 way SLI (I'm not confidence enough to test the new card ) I have provided sufficient cooling facility and C612 chipset can afford 4 Way SLI. 2. There is another option: PC with 2-way SLI GPU card Intel Core i7-6700K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor Intel Z170 64GB (4 x 16GB) DDR4-2400 Memory GeForce GTX 1070 8GB x 2 (2-Way SLI) WITH THE ABOVE BUDGET I CAN GET 2 WORKSTATION AS IN OPTION (1 ) AND FOR OPTION (2 ) I CAN GET THREE IN NUMBERS AND SAVING SOME MORE MONEY. Kindly tell me which option is reliable and faster !
