Dual Video Card

Dear RC support,

 

Would it be beneficial to have/use a dual video card setup to run your software?

Are there any constraints or problems that I should be concerned of?

The Dell 3630 Workstation comes with the option for “Dual” NVIDIA Quadro P4000 (8GB). I just would like to make sure this is worth the investment.

Do you have any feedback for this type of video card?

Can I add the second video card at a later time ?

 

Thank you,

GSAPPIT

Hey GSAPPIT,

I would not recommend any Quadro card at all. They’re specifically designed to work well with CAD applications, RC is not that kind of software. You’d get much better performance for a lot less money when you use an Nvidia GTX/RTX card.

Running Quadro’s in dual is the same deal. Similarly you’ll get about 30-40% better performance (=less processing times) when using a second GTX/RTX card.

Jasper, thanks again for your input.
