The real difference between GTX and Quadro GPUвЂ™s, for what I know, is double precision that exists in Quadro. With the same amount of VRam and CUDA cores, if I was to go for a Quadro at the time, it would have cost me 10x more. For that reason I have a Titan X with 12Gb which has a considerable amount of CUDA cores too. The two aspects you should pay attention to are:Д«oth of them are important but VRam is what determines how big a scene you can render. In Thea, the GPU generally contributes more towards samples per minute than the CPU but that contribution is determined by how powerful they are. In TheaвЂ™s case you wonвЂ™t have support for OpenCL with current version, though the it was announced more than a year ago that Thea already was able to render with OpenCL, for now, you should stick with Nvidia GPU. Unlike CPUs, video cards get substantially faster each year or two, so you donвЂ™t generaly want to invest $1000s in a setup only to find next yearвЂ™s $500 consumer models outpace it by supports CPU+GPU rendering.

This can be better in the long term than upgrading your workstation (if your workstation is a laptop then rendering using that is not recommended).

If your renderer supports network rendering, you may also want to consider a 2nd вЂњslaveвЂќ PC which is a cheap/basic PC with 2 or more video cards and a really good PSU. Technically you could use an Nvidia Tesla but those are pricier still. (buy a version with excellent cooling, rather than quietness- but be wary of the OC, TIвЂ™s and other вЂњhigh specвЂќ models as they often run hotter). Some use Quadros because they seem to be more reliable but you can always underclock a GeForce to bring down temps. In that case you may want a 2nd video card for rendering.ДЇinally you could find out if your renderer can address two or more GPUs at the same time.ДЄs for Quadro vs GeForce, GeForce is better value for rendering. Third you need to know how much VRAM you might need - large scenes with lots of hi-res texctures can require more RAM so some users go straight to a TITAN for that reason.ДЇourth, you need to decide if you want to render while using Sketchup at the same time - usually the Renderer will hog all GPU resources so that Sketchup runs slowly, if at all. This may influence Radeon vs GeForce decisions.

Second you need to confirm that the software is optimised for CUDA and not OPENCL or some other instruction set. If itвЂ™s CPU+GPU then a beast of a GPU may be limited by your slower CPU.

I absolutely agree with the first post fr om mkdm, and if FF could be much faster thanks to any kind of optimization, either with GPU acceleration, or whatever way it cold be they shurely would not need to offer such high discounts and would earn much more money as many people would be really interested to use FF, specially for professional and business, where time is golden and means money, and they can not spend so much time waiting for the slow preview of FF or the mostly slow render.First of all you need to figure out if the renderer is CPU, CPU+GPU or GPU only. I notice with GPUs some people will have a great experience running the program where some folks totally get screwed because they lack the capacity to render. One of the key factors I notice about it is that I think a lot of folks don't seem to really understand the scope of the whole thing, they understand it at an individual level but don't seem to get the idea of the program working on thousands of computers across the world with different specs. I don't think anybody's wrong about it, I just straight up think that it's really only part of the bigger solution. The Foundry forums gets riddled with this whole GPU thing because we all think it's the future. This whole discussion also gets propped up on every forum I go to. You're not alone wanting the whole thing but I really don't think you understand the large looming developmental side of the story.

I wouldn't say that GPU is the magic bullet, it's just part of a possible solution to rendering in general. Generally speaking, there are many algorithms actually better on the CPU than on the GPU.
