Member SilverCity Posted December 18, 2013 Member Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 Sorry to bring up this topic again, but the other threads were quite old and not Mac-centric. I currently have a 2008 Mac Pro with a GTX 285 (Mac edition) card. I'm looking at replacing it with a non-EFI PC card (either GTX 5xx or 6xx). I understand that Fermi cards are better for CG work and GPU rendering, but does anyone know which hardware spec is best for 3DC screen navigation. My GTX 285 really lags with a few million tris and sculpting with high res meshes is my main priority. Will more VRAM help, processor speed, etc.? Second, will more VRAM make painting and texturing easier? And what is the minimum amount necessary? I'm leaning toward a GTX 570 or 560 Ti. A 580 would require an external PSU.
