Please use kuantokusta.pt to search prices in Portugal and tropicalprice.com to search for prices in amazon.

I found the gtx 970, quadro k2200, and the firepro w5100, but which of these is better for this type of work ?

for that kinda use...quadro, tesla will be desired,
but 970 and firepro could handle easily, if you have the money get Tesla or Quadro....

 

[Jorgex42]

Tesla is too expensive. I just want to know if which one of those 3 is the most powerful for this type of work

 

[Jetster]

Better? The Tesla and Quadro are made for companies that can afford that equipment. Not much bang for buck but rather hand picked chips and the best build quality. The GTX980 is the same card less a few things

The GTX980 is the same card less a few things

Those few things are actually quite a big difference in this circumstance.

I think the nvidia card are better for what I want because of CUDA. Or am I wrong ?

I still dont know which card to choose... Gtx 970 or quadro k2200 I cant afford anything more expensive than this.

As I see it, you are buiding a workstation with fucus on professional work, then I would go for Quadro or firepro from AMD. they are made for that kind of work otherwise the R9 390 can also do it.
I use my machine for some of the same programmes as you are, and I have the R9 290, I just have a "small" problem in autocad, since my card only have 4GB ram on it, and it kind of gets full quite quick during complex drawings, so today I would have the R9 390 due to 8GB ram on it.

auto desk software is dx not openGL so you wont get much benefits from quadro.
if you going to use gaming card for work better go with amd. their cards arnt scraped in DP performace as much as nvidia's maxwell cards.
here is review of 290x performance (with 2012 drivers, now drivers are much better)

Obviously your not buying a $3000 card so here.
