I just got a MSI 980Ti Gaming for my M.Arch Studio Desktop. I am working on a rhino file right now that has over 75,000 curves. If I grab say ~5000 of them and move them in the viewport 200ft I have to wait a good 3-8 seconds for the move to happen and the lines to be redrawn. Viewport performance when orbiting is great... so far, we'll see when these lines become surfaces. I am wondering if getting a workstation card in addition to the 980ti would be beneficial. And even possible in Rhino to assign a specific card for the viewports.

If you are overclocking everything go with a platinum psu. AX860i is what I recommend.

Graphics card run stock for this first bench. I am brand new to GPU overclocking and 3DMark reported my system ram at 1333 and not what I have it set to at 1866.

I got my shipping date from Amazon this morning for the MSI GTX 980 TI Gaming 6G... and July 21st is the date. How many did they make? 10? Has anyone received their card from Amazon yet?

To benchmark your PC with Rhino 3D use http://www.holografisk.no/holomark/

To clarify your response: Rendering is not my concern. Viewport performance is. When I am drawing, orbiting, extruding and "creating" my 3D geometry, the LAG I see in my viewport when I orbit a model with 100,000s polygons is CPU dependent?

Hello All! So after years of reading and exploring the inter-webs I have come to the conclusion that no one has been posting reliable information on architectural design and PC builds. "Professional Cards are what you need." NO, not unless you can show me side-by-side comparisons of complex models. I am interested in seeing a Graphics Card Show Down of viewport performance on Rhinoceros 3D version 5+. What matters for viewport performance? Is it the graphics card? Is it the CPU? Both? RAM? VRAM? I am running an i7-4770k @ 4.2Ghz twenty-four-seven, with a MSI GTX 770 Lightning and 32GB G.Skill Trident X 1866 CAS8 RAM. I am not concerned with rendering, either CPU or GPU, the 4770k performs very well for the dollar on VRay and I am happy with it. I want to know how to maximize my viewport performance with a gaming card. Rhin3D uses OpenGL. So does this favor AMD or NVIDIA? How much is the GPU clock speed helpful? Is VRAM king for the viewport? I have 300,000 sf models where connection details are modeled, mullions, layered geometry for wall assemblies. Textures are not important, that can be handled in Photoshop, but object colors are important. Linus need another idea for a video? Please do this one! Hope to hear from some knowledgeable people. Thanks Everyone! Thanks!
