  1. you should look at Precision series. m3800 or m4800/m4700. You can bay them refurbushed from ebay and end up with and mobile WS that will play most of your games and be reliable. the downside is that they don't have Thunderbolt.
  2. here you should have the switch for 3dVision. And have the latest "performance driver" from nvidia. Not from dell. sorry for double posting but... can't edit.
  3. Have you heard of bitcoin mining rigs used for GPU rendering? Is it posible? + i'm searching an answer for this.: http://forum.techinferno.com/diy-e-gpu-projects/4109-egpu-candidate-system-list-3.html#post103394
  4. hello. Found the eVGA quite interesting for CUDA rendering. I have to spend some 6-8K euros on some rendering farm (2X dualXEON WS's or 4x i7Xtreme DIY rigs) but those will consume space, to much power and time to setup/service + 2/4 slave render Licences + OS. Can i build a CUDA rendering eGPU for Vray/etc that will be better then the setup proposed. Same money... maybe more? 2 GPU cards, maybe more.... let's say 2 Quadro's k5000. Or some gaming cards. i was aiming for at least 70 CPU threads. (4x six cores slaves+ and one 12core main rig = 36 cores = 72 threads) Can i beat that? I'd like to open a new thread but it is impossible. So: CUDA/GPU rendering on eVGA? + Have you heard of bitcoin mining rigs used for GPU rendering? Would be possible?
  5. what's the 3DMARK 11 score? i've found those results on some forum. Can you compare? Default: 3dmark 2011 graphics score 2515 points Overclocked (+434MHz core): 3918 points Temperatures under 100% load with 1087MHz core were: 52-63c, fans were not even fully engaged, very impressive. Score comparison in 3dmark11: Nvidia 580M GTX 3390 POINTS beaten by K3000M, easy Quadro K4000M:rolleyes: 3610 POINTS beaten by K3000M NVIDIA Quadro K5000M 5500 POINTS beaten by K5000M with 1500 points.
  6. for Catia... tha gaming GPU's will suck. Go for the Quadro/FirePro. You chose a bad forum to ask. Many here will chose high GPU options. You don't realy need it. 1. GPU's in a workstation are good for rendering (nowadays). 2. You better have 16/32 GB ram and SSD. IV'th gen i7 would be good. I use 3DMAX/AutoCAD/Archicad/Photoshop/Rhino+Grashopper. For design purpuse you will be better with an corporate machine. Not a gaming one. #The gaming NB's are built as toys (no offence - but they target kids/people that ill play games on the move). #The NB's like W series form Lenovo, Precision from Dell, HP variant.. (portable workstations) etc are built for production. It's a big diff between the 2 concepts. i have in my office three guys that use/used gaming NB for design. One Alienware and two Asus. One Asus already sold and the guy bought sone Lenovo W530 (i think). The other Asus is on repairs (second time MB replacement after an year and a half prom purchase). And the Alienware dude is raising money for a Dell Precision m6800(he wants the k5100m).
  7. but the Asus nb have a lot of problems... I have a friend that had to repair/CHANGE the MB of some 17" Asus gaming NB... And he has it for a year and a half (Bought jan 2013, or smth). Big, bulky, tha case has loose ends... the matte finish will wear of badly after a year.... They don't have that build quality. Search other forums. Go for an Alienware. Go for a Precision. Go for a MBP that has the Tunderbolt stuff and can connect to some eGPU. There are even good Thinkpads... but they also suffer some flaws. The more you pay the better you get.
  8. this was true few years ago.... a mbp will overheat easily... it's not up gradable. No 32GB of ram. the only useful thing on MBP is the the Thunderbolt ports. The display has the Retina stuff, but i did'nt found it useful for CAD/3D..And not 99% RGB space...
  9. katmai7, you have upgraded your GPU to the nVidia. Are you getting better results at gaming?
  10. Hello. Have anyone tested the vBios mod for k3000m in m6700?
  11. hello. I've read somewhere that here i can find vBios mods. I'm interested in k3000m for DELL. I.ve found the link but i can't download. They are for sale?
  12. e la nave va one of most underrated fellini fim
  13. hello my first post here. I have an Dell Precision M6700 with a Quadro k3000m. Iv'e read that this configuration is overclockable. The standard OC i can make is +135MHz, but with the vBios instaled i can go to +400 MHz. Is it safe? How can i download the proper vBios? cheers
