Yeah - sidefx tends to go with quadro as the 'supported' route for Houdini,
but i know the GTX cards are used a ton with Houdini, so i just played it safe.

I realise its probably overkill with Nuke.

I want over 100GB of RAM now...........

I'm interested of people really see an advantage on quadro vs the top end gaming cards anymore. I use a gtx 690 in one machine and a gtx 780 in the other at home. At work I have a quadro 6000 in a pc and a quadro 5000 in a mac. All behave about the same.

If you see a difference can you say how much, and in what kind of projects.

Yeah I didn't mean more Ram for nuke I meant 2GB card VS 4GB card for CUDA and openCL. I know more is more for loading GEO.

My realflow box in the office has has 128GB of Ram but it also has GTX 680. I see no need for quadro cards anymore for the work I tend to have the CBR just isn't there.

    Holy Moley!

    I thought i was doing well with 35G's of RAM...

    For what its worth im running the quadro K5000, needed for
    Houdini, but works a treat with Nuke.

    Randy,

    With the new GPU accreted nodes in Nuke and the discussions about
    going more and more in that direction, I would think that having
    a kick-ass graphics card is just as important. Also, more RAM can
    be a biggie. I’m currently running with 64 GB - a luxury, I know!
    However, a 6 month project I was working on needed about 32 GB,
    just to open up the comps and get started, before tweaking or
    caching anything…  (8^\

    What is more important to Nuke on the graphics card.   I'm not
    loading MASSIVE scenes like I would on a feature project.  So I
    am looking at GTX 770 or nuke with 2GB of Ram.  or might go with
    680 or even 580 if Ram is more imporant.  I would just think
    that for normal compute type use for filters that I dont' need
    4-6GB of VRAM but smoking fast clock.
