The best setup for a pro user is a cheap quadro card (the 4000 or even less),
for the better drivers it has for DCC apps (max, maya, opengl, etc...)

And a Geforce GTX400 or more in 2nd slot(s) for octane power
Would this not be incredibly silly?

Wouldn't you be limited to the memory available on the second card and waste about £2k for better drivers? :shock:

no,

with this scheme you get the quadro and it's drivers for good non-handicapped performance in maya and max, for modeling,
and the GTX400 offers the same power as the quadro 6000 card for probably 1/10th of it's price, for octane render.

Confused! What would be a best case, hi performance solution for a (4) pci 16x lane mobo (PC) that you want to maximize your 3D application while maintaining a max from Octane. Render frames to be used in a scene/sequence in Final cut pro. Have not tried Octane yet. Looks very promising.
