I went Redshift and have been very pleased. I can get by using a lot less computers than before on most projects, volume smoke is pretty much all I use MR for anymore. I have several computers with a combination of 780TI, 770, and 970, while I think the 780Ti give the best performance, it really makes more sense to buy the 970 as they are priced better or 980 if you have more cash. The Redshift say go with the cards with the most ram (that would be Titan 6tb, if you got even more cash), depends on your needs of course.

I know this subject has been posted a lot over the years, but it happens that I read a benchmark performance between autodesk products on certain webpage. They tested Radeons vs Nvidias and turns out that Mudbox and Softimage ran better on AMD (Radeons) - this is mental ray render. So I was wondering whether to go full on mental ray (CPU) or take my savings and put it on a GPU renderer? Either case, now a days, which is the middle ranked graphic card for softimage? (My budget is around 1k). Thanks. David Rivera 3D Compositor/Animator LinkedIN Behance VFX Reel
