[Paraview] Quadro vs GTX 460 vs hd 6870

[Pei-Ying Hsieh]

Thanks a lot Robert!

I will look into GTX 560Ti.  If I cannot afford it, then, I will keep the Quadro FX4600 for the time being.

Best Regards,

Pei-Ying

Hi, 

If you do volume rendering I would avoid the AMD card. The gtx460 is a slightly better card but not leaps and bounds better than the quadro. I would think you would need to look at the newer GTX 560Ti and up for a sizeable increase in performance.
