same. gaming cards are more bang for buck.
I got a GTX 680 for NZ$650,- (probably much cheaper outside of New Zealand)

Get the top of the line gaming ones if you can and you should be fine.
We've been using some GTX 600 series here for some stations and its
been running fine. I really don't see any need to go Quadro with Nuke.
Even Blackmagic is unoficially recommending the GTX Titan for DaVinci
top systems.

Nice Frank! 64gb of RAM? I could go for that!
I've been meaning to ask - what's a good value video card that
would be fully supported in Nuke (z-defocus, etc)? we have some
primarily 2d workstations here that could use a boost but probably
couldn't get much more than "gaming" level dollars, since not much
3d is done on them. any tips?

I just got a new linux box with hex core, 64GB ram and SSD.
Best machine I ever had for Nuke. With the SSD I can run 4k
dpxfiles in real time in Nuke (caching can't even keep up with
the playback in 2k).
With Nuke's cache and localising path on the SSD you will have
a bit of fun, especially if you are using Hiero as well
pointing to the same localising path.
As for RAM, you can never have enough in Nuke and my gut
feeling is to rather go with more cores than the fastest ones
(of course, get both if you can afford it).
With hyper threadable multi cores you can get yourself the
free Deadline version and use it to quickly run multiple
parallel jobs on your machine which can speed up rendering a
lot. In which case you also want a bit of RAM to hand out
amongst those parallel jobs.
All in all, it depends on what kind of work you are doing. If
you do more editing stuff and lightweight comps with many
frames, bus speed and SSDs may be more important, but for semi
complex comping, IO speed is quickly not the bottle neck
anymore and you may want to invest into cpus and RAM first.
Cheers,
frank

I'm about to get a new machine for running nuke 7. I'm
wondering where to focus. Is RAM more important, SSD,
processors, bus speed etc?
Thanks
