What do you think?

[Profquast]

I would get a quadro or firepro card.

[razersum]

check this link out,[took me a long time to find one]

http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?239480-2-61-Cycles-render-benchmark&s=bc66d7a7a08953fa12fc6fac52b8d028

although out dated, but it will help you I guess in deciding which gpu to buy

[art85]

Quadro is to expansive and they base on GeForce. I have used Quadro 4000 on VrayRT and Cycles it's just doesn't work! Very slow

razersum, thanks for the link, I have looked through it a couple of times. But you right it is dated.

I more and more thinking about 3 GTX 670 4Gb.

Is it worse investing to old 670 with 4Gb when in one year I can get more advanced GTX kepler gpu with more memory?

VrayRT 2.4 have added kepler support already!

Cheers

[art85]

I am going for double GTX 670 4Gb for now. In a year I will add the third more powerful GPU.

Last question:

• Does Seasonic SS-1250XM X-Series 1250W is enough for 2 and 3 Graphics Cards?

Way overkill - 3 way SLI will be fine on an 850w.
