KushDesign 0 Report post Posted June 23, 2016 My employer is building out a new PC for me and I have some input on how it's built. As far as graphics cards go, they're saying the Nvidia K5200 is a great graphics card, but I've heard the Titan X is a beast and the one you should get, if you have the funds. I'll be using C4D and AE mostly, with an eye toward a render engine in the future. Any recommendation on either of these cards? Or another card you'd recommend?

stoiqa 0 Report post Posted June 24, 2016 futureproof, you should get the newly released Pascal engine GTX: http://www.geforce.com/hardware/10series/geforce-gtx-1080 On Octane forums comes 10/20% faster and this is without octane being optimized for pascal Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jblessing 0 Report post Posted June 24, 2016 Any quadro is a waste for just AE/C4D. If you have to buy *today*, get a 980ti, or Titan x if you have money to burn (the speed difference between the 2 is quite small while the titan costs double-ish). If you can wait a couple months, the 1080 will be the card to get. Right now the driver support isn't there...at least for Octane. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Basic 2 Report post Posted June 27, 2016 it might be worth just holding out for the time being on the 1080 - i'm keen for this but I have read this thread. https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2150832 It appears there is an issue working with r3d files.
