Jura, I appreciate all the information on the various graphics boards you have listed I am in the process of surfing the net to locate these cards so I can evaluate them. It seems like most of benchmarks are based on Game program performance and just give a generalized number like 120%,68%,...etc or specific benchmarks. I realize that the bigger percentage is probably means the better performance for specific games. But do these number translate to better performance for programs like Poser, Daz Studio, Zbrush..etc. Besides Onboard Memory,should I be looking at specific parameters like GPU Texture fill rate, Pixel fill rate, Memory bandwidth, FLOPS ...or what ever etc My system is Intel i7 2600k CPU 3.4GHZ Windows 7 Home Premium, 16G ram

Your inputs are and have been much appreciated..

Hi there

If you are looking at the GPU and their parameters,at first if you should be looking at CUDA(more CUDA cores,better performance in IRAY or SuperFly,Cycles and many SW which use CUDA),VRAM size,memory bandwidth

In DAZ3D,Poser,ZBrush,Blender you don't need to look on FLOPS,GPU Pixel rate etc,this I would look only in specific situations,but not in the or for Poser,DAZ3D,ZBrush or Blender ...

For AMD cards,you should look for same,there is not CUDA,but AMD use SP(Stream Processors),but you will need to take to account,you can't use this GPU with CUDA apps like is Octane,SuperFly and few others,but you can use that GPU in Reality and use that for acceleration for rendering etc,in Poser works very well and other programs too,just you can't use them for accelerations in above mentioned CUDA apps and renderers

Yours specs looks OK and you should be OK for long time there

Hope this helps

Thanks,Jura
