Could you guys start doing workstation graphics card and cpu reviews? I am working on building a new sketchup / 3ds max machine that will be doing very detailed rendering on large structures and am curious how these cards stack up against each other in applications other than games.

Whats your budget? If it's just cad/3dstudio max, a quadro would do good but most graphics cards with cuda would do the rendering.

I'd like to stay under 1K. Going on a Z77 WS with a 3770K.

Depending on what you need you can either go for a Titan, k4000 and if you don't care for CUDA the w7000/7100 isn't a bad option either.
