Nvidia or AMD

[Akash Gupta]

Hi , I want to ask for 3d modeling and rendering which one is better AMD or Nvidia . From your help guys i build my pc and its having z97 board with i5 thanks guys for your help. But now last part of GPU is left i was planning to buy R9 270x so decide to take some suggestions on that . and is 650w power supply is enough or i have to buy new big one. Please let me know if anyother is better buy can't go beyond of these can't spend a sing penny more.

... oh gosh...

3d modeling and rendering requires a professional GPU like the Quadro or FirePro

 

consumer GPUs are not advised

I would say Nvidia but depends on what software.. Some software is optimized for AMD and others for Nvidia.

As long as the psu is decent, 650w would already be overkill for a 270x.

No, it doesn't. If someone is doing 3D work specific enough to need a WS card, they would probably already know that.

maybe for cheap it may work

 

certain modeling software may give problems if consumer GPU was used with graphical distortion

 

otherwise most software will use CUDA or OpenCL/OpenGL for rendering so he need to pick the correct GPU for the job

There aren't that many renderers that primarily use the gpu in the first place. Even fewer use specifically cuda and the like. Many gpu renderers don't support consumer grade graphics cards 'out of the box' and would need modding to work. Most cards including consumer grade cards are fine for workspace rendering which would be fine for most people doing 3d work. Basically, recommending a WS card when it isn't clearly called for is silly.

That is defiantly not true. a $300 consumer GPU will do ALOT better then a $300 quadro or firepro

ok maybe i still noob in rendering jobs and what hardware to use

 

but i will take your word for it.

 

thanks for the info

[WoodenMarker]

It depends on the usage. There's been very little info on what the OP is actually doing and any recommendation of what kind of card to use would be one that isn't properly informed.

It helps to know how limited the number of programs for gpu rendering are when I've spent too many hours trying to find a way to utilize my gpu to assist in 'long' 3d renders.

True. But in most cases a quadro/firepro won't do much for you until you get into the highercost cards like $500+

No.. It usually first comes down to whether a WS card is necessary.

OpenCL/OpenGL => AMD

Cuda => Nvidia

No.. It usually first comes down to whether a WS card is necessary. 

from MY experience a $300 workstation card didn't make a difference vs a $300 consumer card for rendering. You are entitled to your own opinion but my experience is in most cases a $300 consumer card will do better with rendering then a WS card will.

That probably means you weren't using any WS card features and/or whatever you were rendering wasn't very or at all dependent on the gpu. 

[lovingGamer]

For just gaming go with AMD (R9 280x or if you have money 290)

If you will do Recording Go with Nvidia (GTX970) Shadowplay is best but AMD DVR is in Beta so when i gets released who knows..

[vembutech]

Depends on the usage or purpose and optimization it differs.

[XxKINGxX40]

This is Intel vs AMD, but it's also applicable to Nvidia
