Firepro w5000

[Mero_de]

Im about to get myself a Dell t3600 workstation soon.

Spec: 

Xeon 1620v0 @3.60/10m/8threads

16gb ram

Firepro W5000.

I know this thing is designed for professional apps and cad stuff, my question is can i game on that w5000 ? Will the games even start? 

Dose it help if i get another w5000 and compine both? 

How good is the w5000 for gaming?

Dose the t3600 support newer gaming cards? .

Thx

How bad?

Are you going to do any "workstation" stuff? If not, you won't be benefiting from the optimization for professional programs like 3ds Max. If you're heart-set on a Xeon, I'd recommend the 1630v4, which is pretty much the 1620 but .2ghz faster.

its a pitcarin chip, so it will be basically the same as a 7850 thats clocked a bit lower. Not bad, but not great either. Won't be any worse than a gaming card of the same specs.

Unfortunately the T3600 dose not support v2/3/4 xeons.

Im totally fine with the v0 , mainly ill work on VMs and some games.

So i just want to know how good the w5000 in terms of gaming.

Ahh... my mistake.  I thought the v0 was a typo. Why would you buy a dell machine instead of assembling used parts? Not that you asked, but I am not a fan of dell's internal layout (No cable management).

I don't know about crossfire support, but really it isn't great. Your much better off looking for something like a used 970. Ive seen them for about 120 usd
