These cards have been out since Q2 2014, so would it be best to assume they will never provide support for them? I notice that they are supported by Max 2015, and I could upgrade as long as my plugins would all work with it. So apparently the K5200/K4200 aren't even supported in Max 2014 then. So I did a search of driver support on the Autodesk site and found this. Don't know why, but development seems to have got worse when it comes to drivers." (This is not benchmarked in Max, but I'm assuming a lot of crossover.) One thing that worries me is the very last comment in that above link: "I have quadro k2200 and it's not better than my old firepro v4800 which was way much cheaper, also Nvidia doesn't list it on the certified drivers and new driver updates for 3dsmax. (Also, I'm a heavy Photoshop user which I also want the Quadro for.)īut the question is, how much better is the K5200 for things like viewport performance and real time updating? Has anyone had scenes that the 5200 could handle well that the 4200 couldn't, or general experiences that would indicate this? I know that the Quadro line is what I want since it seems tailored to play nice with Max using iRay. I never render animations, and my still images tend to be about 5000 pixels on the longest side.) Note: I tend to render a lot of reflective objects and glass, meaning I want great raytracing performance. (I use Mental Ray but am thinking of switching to Vray soon, if that makes any difference. Smooth viewport performance for complex scenesįast real time lighting in viewports, like having "realistic" mode on without the problem of flickering or super inaccurate shadows.įaster render times. Things that are important to me (most important first): Obviously the 5200 is better, but how much better? Better enough to justify paying 800 dollars more? I know this is a somewhat subjective question, but I can afford it or I wouldn't be asking for help in deciding between the two. In my old machine I'm getting a lot of bounding boxes in my viewports, viewport lag, and a distracting kind of flickering when in "realistic" mode.įor the new build, I can't decide between the Quadro K5200 or K4200. I'm talking hundreds/thousands of objects in a scene. I'm building a PC and gearing towards building very high poly, multi-object, all-around complex scenes in Max (2014).
