Hello,

I am currently running a Quadro K5200 and am looking for the best cost-effective solution for an additional card. Is anyone running a Quadro and a different card setup?

Thank you,
Caesar

Use the quadro for windows and the viewport of modeling apps.

What power supply are you running? A GTX970 works pretty well cost/speed wise!

Windows can handle both cards at the same time :)

EVGA is having a sale right now: http://www.evga.com/articles/01029/evga ... sary-sale/

Got meself two additional GTX 980 ti hybrid cards :) Pretty much the best deal right now IMHO, the cards auto-overclock +22% compared to reference 980 ti, and under full load they are very silent and 50 C. A GTX 980 Ti hybrid blows away a Titan X except for the RAM (which is 6 GB vs 12 GB on the Titan X)
