I just received my new machine:

Intel Xeon Processor E5-1650 v3 6 Core HT, 15MB Cache, 3.5GHz Turbo
32G 2133MHz DDR4 (4x8GB) RDIMM ECC
Nvidia Quadro K5200 8GB

I'm having an issue where this machine is rendering SIGNIFICANTLY slower than my desktop:

Intel Core i7-3770
16gb
AMD Radeon HD 7800M

With just a simple grid in the scene, the Quadro takes about 3.5 seconds to render in the Render View whereas the AMD takes about .5 seconds.

What's going on here? Do I need to specifically change settings to utilize the Quadro correctly?

Thank you,
Caesar

Hello everyone,

I'm in the market for a new setup and I stumbled upon the following system - I'm thinking about picking it up specifically for Houdini work:
