Jan 12, 2013 34 0 10,560 Why are you suggesting either of these GPU's? They are expensive and not exactly cutting edge. Here are some GPU's that are better for about the same price point (if your system can take them): http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-graphics-card-review,3107-3.html Upvote 0 Downvote

It depends on what your budget is, both will do the job just one is going to do it much better, $140 card vs $400+ card You can watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LV3YBhrD_D4 Upvote 0 Downvote D

Jan 12, 2013 34 0 10,560 Well looks like I need to do some reading (just look at my username)! Well, I would guess if you are willing to spend the money go for the 2000, as it will last longer. Upvote 0 Downvote

Jul 3, 2013 36 0 10,530 I’d like to know as soon as I can whhich is the major difference between Nvidia k600 and k2000 (except the price obviously). I’d like to change my old graphic board: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1 CPU Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300 @ 2.50GHz Yorkfield 45nm RAM 6.00GB DDR3 @ 531 MHz (7-7-7-20) Scheda Madre PEGATRON CORPORATION Eureka3 (CPU 1) 42 °C Grafica 1024 MBATI Radeon HD 4650 (MSI) Dischi Drive 932GB Western Digital WDC WD10EADS-65M2B0 ATA Device (SATA) I can’t try it before so I am asking suggestion. I manage huge autocad files with big about 65 to 85MB and my autocad (I suppose because of the graphic card) hang continuously. The CPU seems not overloaded neither ram ... but autocad hangs !

Aug 16, 2013 3 0 10,510 Do not confuse what workstation video cards can do vs. gaming video cards. Gaming video cards (e.g. NVidia's GT/GTX/GTX Titan) coding, GPU's, and memory are geared more towards motion/FPS (Frames per Second). Workstation class video cards (e.g. nVida's Quadro) are geared towards engineering/photo & video editing/rendering (i.e. the very applications listed). As far as the differences between the K600 & the K2000: 1) K600: a) Memory - 1GB DDR3 b) Memory Interface - 128 bit c) Memory Bandwidth - 29GBps d) CUDA Parallel Cores - 192 e) Simultaneous Displays - 2 f) Monitor Connections - 1 DVI-I (Single Link 18pin) & 1 Display Port (DP) 2) K2000 & K200D: a) Memory - 2GB GDDR5 b) Memory Interface - 128 bit c) Memory Bandwidth - 64GBps d) CUDA Parallel Cores - 384 e) Simultaneous Displays - 4 f) Monitor Connections: I) K2000 - 1 DVI-I & 2 DP ii) K2000D - 1 DVI-I, 1 DVI-D (Dual Link 24 pin), & 1 mDP (mini) Long story short, for what you are listing for expected work/software load, go for the K2000 line if you can afford it. The GDDR5 memory is markedly faster that DDR3, and it has 2x the amount. Any serious Autodesk/CAD work and/or Adobe CS6 will quickly drag the K600 down. Also, neither the K600 or K2000's require a separate connection from the PSU. As their Watt draw is <75W, the PCIe slot (PCIe x16) can power the cards. Now as to which K2000 to go with, for what you listed, especially the CS6, you definitely want the K2000D. With the DVI-D port, you can drive the proper bandwidth and color to an IPS display (all of which are DVI-D. You can then use the DVI-I port to power a quality TN display for the regular text/low graphics draw work. Upvote 0 Downvote You must log in or register to reply here.
