work and play GPU

[Lstaffor5]

I am going on to post secondary for mechanical engineering along with mostly design and drafting which will use a lot of solidworks catia Autodesk alias and speedform type of programs my question is what type of gpu would you recommend for those programs but still being able to play most games at least on medium settings

Gtx 770 or Gtx 970 or R9 290x

I'm only accustomed to using spaceclaim, and keyshot, so I dont have any experience with the programs you listed, but I would presume it will be dependent on weather it has support for cuda, or amd's equivalent.

 

If it does have support for both technologies, then a r9 280/ r9 270x, or a 960 would give solid price/ performance in regards to gaming...

Yeah I was looking at the gtx 980 or r9 295x but don't know if they would work well on large assemblies or models

So you say that the 980 will perform well on large assemblies I will be bbuilding
