I will be purchasing a new PC very soon. I haven't had a PC in 5 years so the technology is vastly different then when I owned my last desktop. I have most of the specs down for what I want but I have come across this new type of card called the Nvidia Tesla C1060. I know it's not a video card but an addition of computation power to the CPU's. Apparently it is some very serious stuff and not meant for the gamer crowd, of which I am not. Since I will be getting more into water, fire and smoke effects with Houdini… I was wondering if this card would make a significant power boost to any of my work. Cost is not an option, I know this card is around $1200.00 but if it can achieve what I think it can then it's worth it. Has anyone used it or is using or have any info that can help me out with my purchase?
Cheers,
John
