Harm Millaard Feb 4, 2012 6:27 AM (in response to sankoor2012)Perfect for what budget?
Quadro 6000 plus a Tesla C2075 in Maximus configuration for around € 6400 may not fit your budget. With your CPU and memory and presumabely lacking disk setup it is a waste of money to get anything more that a 560 Ti, since the rest of your system is simply too weak. Rather than spend € 6400 on a perfect video solution, get a better CPU, more memory and a better disk setup instead.

Todd_Kopriva Feb 4, 2012 10:14 AM (in response to Harm Millaard)Here's an article with resources about choosing a graphics card:
Pay special attention to the reference to the PPBM5 test results, which show results of real-world usage by many people.

RjL190365 Feb 4, 2012 10:46 AM (in response to sankoor2012)A balanced configuration is best. There is a level within the GeForce GTX series line where any improvements in performance would be held back by the CPU. With a Sandy Bridge i5-2xxx series CPU with four cores and no HyperThreading, this limit falls around the GTX 560 Ti level. Any higher than a GTX 560 Ti (384-core) and the performance improvement becomes significantly smaller than the cost difference between the two cards being compared (and I'm talking about the percentage improvement in performance versus percentage of the total cost of an entire PC, not just the cost of the GPU). What this means is that to take full advantage of anything above a GTX 560 Ti (original 384-core version) you will need an i7-2600 or faster CPU. And even an overclocked i7-2600K does not take full advantage of a GTX 580 given the minimal performance difference between that GPU and a GTX 560 Ti 448-core (as Bill's testing discovered).
With that said, however, I would not recommend anything lower than a GTX 550 Ti (192 cores, with a 192-bit GDDR5 memory bus) unless you have a very old, very slow, lower-end CPU such as a Core 2 Duo. This is because the GTX 550 Ti is at a level where performance in a modern PC starts to drop off substantially if one goes any lower in the nVidia GPU line. Even an entry-level Sandy Bridge i3 dual-core CPU showed significant performance improvements with a higher-end GPU (the 336-core GTX 560 non-Ti, in this example) versus a lower-end GPU (such as a 96-core GT 440).
