Someone asked me about a build they were offered for a workstation meant mostly for SolidWorks.
The full specs:
They didn't give the prices for every part, but the whole thing is 1038$.
I don't know much about workstation graphics cards beside the fact that they cost way more than they are worth, so the main question is whether the Quadro K600 he was offered is actually worth anything compared to a similarly priced GTX750Ti (again, for SolidWorks).
Just seeing that 1GB DDR3 memory makes me assume it's terrible.
Any comments?
/Edit
After googling a lot, I am actually surprised, because it seams like the workstation GPUs are far better at running SolidWorks (and the likes) much better than gaming GPUs.
Even this low end K600 supposedly runs much faster than high end GTX680 / GTX770 and the like, according to multiple benchmarks.
The full specs:
- CPU - i5 4570 Haswell
- CPU Cooling - Arctic Freezer 7 Pro Rev.2
- Motherboard - Asus B85M-G LGA1150
- RAM - G.Skill Value 2x4GB DDR3 1600Mhz
- GPU - PNY Quadro K600 1GB DDR3
- HDD - WD Blue 1TB
- PSU - Antec Basiq 450W
- Chunk Of Metal - Sharkoon VS3-S Black Chrome
