Tribunius Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Is it just me or are those two sets of specifications mixed up? If I'm right on that I would go with number 1. Its is the more advanced card and it seems to match up nicely to the specifications of the navida quadro range of cards in that price range.

tzframpton Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Tribunius is right. However, those are "gaming" cards. You want a "workstation" card, using OpenGL extensions built more for CAD Programs, etc.... for AMD product search the FireGL series. http://ati.amd.com/products/firegl.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelB Posted May 15, 2009 Author Share Posted May 15, 2009 but out of those 2 what would be the best to run auto cad and inventor the 1 of the 4850 or 2 of the 4650 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tzframpton Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 well obviously the 4850 by spec alone. But you won't see me wasting money on a gaming card for a CAD app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelB Posted May 15, 2009 Author Share Posted May 15, 2009 well my main use of the power is gaming but i just want to make sure it will run auto cad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tzframpton Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 yes they will work just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinp Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 I would get the HD4770 over the 4850 because of its lower cost and nearly identical performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tankman Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Either would work but, do you need a gaming video card? I find AutoCAD my game. I leave gaming, bang, bang, up to the youngsters. A workstation desktop or laptop would be my choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 If you are a hard core gamer then stick with the gaming card (Radeon vs. FireGL). It can handle the CAD side suitably well but not perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 First card has a memory bandwidth of 61Gb/s. 2nd Card, 25Gb/s. 1st post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
