And what about the gtx 285 (sorry, maybe I'm driving it to far) ? It has 240 Cuda Cores and "Kubo" mentioned the gtx 2xx series works better for display and rendering than the newer gtx cards. It's 2 years old and quite expensive tho.

Many thanks for the fast response! :D I think I'm going for a 560 ti now and a quadro later, because I ain't got the money for both at the same time. If it's only about cuda cores for rendering I just discovered the geforce gtx 470 got 448 :roll: , so anyone got experiences with this card, maybe ...

I'm going to build a new system and think of buying one of the new nVidia geforce gtx 560 ti graphic cards for using blender and octane render. My system specs will be:

Asus P8P67 pro
Intel i5-2500K
DDR3RAM 3x 2GB DDR3-1600 Corsair XMS3
Samsung SpinPoint F4 Desktop Class HD322GJ 320GB
Philips ...
