Hey everyone!
My wife is a freelance graphic designer, and she's due for a new workstation PC (not Mac). She currently works on a MSI gaming laptop (a few years old, i7, 16gig ram, ssd, GTX760m) - her main programs are Adobe Illustrator CC, Photoshop and InDesign.
The big question - would it be worth the money to get something like a Quadro P2000 for her new pc instead of a Geforce card? We're in South Africa, and the cost of a P2000 is around ZAR8000 to ZAR9500 ($620 - $735 based on current exchange rates). I could get for the same amount a GTX1070 or even a 1080.
It's gonna be coupled with at least 32gigs of RAM, and the CPU will either be a i7 7700K (4 core), or the i7 7800X (6 core).
Question time:
1. For what she does (no gaming, just designing) P2000 vs GTX1070/1080 - which will give her better performance in Illustrator, Photoshop and Indesign?
2. I don't plan on overclocking, and for only about (ZAR500 / $40) more I can get the 7800X cpu which is a six core vs the 7700k which is the quad core - which would serve her better - from what I can tell the 7700k will give better single core performance, but only just?
Thanks so much in advance for your feedback!
Cheers from South Africa
