Hi all !

I'm gonna buy a new PC and I wanna know if this type of video card is good for Houdini or not : XFX ATI HD5450 (1Go DDR3).

Does someone allready have this type of video card and had problems with it ? I know that ATI is known for their bug / bad-compatibility with a lot of things so I prefer asking before buying.

Thanks All.

It is a bit outdated, and won't be very quick. Does this come as part of a prebuilt system? Otherwise, a AMD 7750 or a Nvidia 650/550 Ti would be a better choice, if your budget is constrained.

Thanks for your response.

Yes my budget is constrained, and I'll search for this types of graphic cards, thanks for theses references

Hello all,

I need you're help again into this question for new GPU.

Should I take this ones : AMD 7750 or a Nvidia 650/550 Ti, or a quadro 2000 ?

This GPU will take place into a HP Z400.

Thanks, it's realy uncool to choose a GPU in regards of differences between softwares :roll:

Edit :
I've find a lot of indormations into this forum and others, but nothing that clearly give me an answer

I think the choice would be made between an Nvidia 650/550 Ti and a Nvidia Quadro 2000, but between this two, witch one wokrs better with Houdini and Maya ?

Thanks for your answers it's a bit urgent.

Edit 2 :
Okay, some of you may think I'm a bit sick for comparing GT 650 and quaddro 2000, but the choice is in fact between a brand new GT 650 or a used Quadro 2000, witch could be find around the price of a brand new GT 650.

For simulations GT 650 may be a bit better, but in general maybe the Quadro is a better choice.

Any idea ?

GT650. I'm using the mobile version, no probs with Houdini. Get one with as much ram as you can afford if using 2 high res monitors.
