Was wondering if anyone has bought one of these to use in Houdini—-looks like a great non-production GPU for Houdini.

But knowing how Houdini is focused with workstation cards was wondering if anyhow has took the plunge with this card and could talk about how it worked?

At a little under 500 US dollars here in states–its not exactly cheap. So this would help a lot of folks who had similar thoughts.

I've tested the 2GB 670 on Linux which worked well for GL. You'd only need 4GB for doing OpenCL sim work or manipulating large scenes/models.

Ok, I thought specifically this gpu might be good for pyro simulations and generally nice viewport manipulations as long as the it behaved nicely of which I know there are no guarantees with houdini and gaming cards.
