Re: What's the best graphics card for Mac Pro?

If You are in the CAD business or do 3D VFX,
the the Quadro card is justified also in a 2009 MacPro.
Quadros are optimized for processing huge amounts
of 3D geometry data. This is what they are built for.

A common misconception is that Quadros have necessarily
'faster' GPUs than GeForces.
What is 'fast' depends on the architecture and how well a task uses it.

A complex task could be faster on a GPU with slower cores but a wider
pipeline, than on a GPU with faster cores but a tighter pipeline - and vice versa.
So a GeForce could in fact be faster than a Quadro.
For Mercury acceleration I wouldn't be surprised to get this result.

The best would be to wait for benchmarks. There are some testers at the
Resolve forum. Don't find the link now.


Hope this helps.
