Greetings all,
been contemplating getting a used Quadro RTX 4000. Currently using FreeCAD+ Deskproto+Cura with eventual switch to Alibre Design for the CAD part. Most videos and discussions focus heavily on a brand new quadro that is 2x-3x...etc times the price of a GeForce card. Hands down that is a different scenario.
The reality is a used RTX4000 ranges now €200-€300 at the moment, which is the price of a used RTX3070 in my region. My resolution is 2560x1080 + two more 1080p screens and I am doing simple stuff. It feels like it doesn't really matter that much. Which one should I get used: RTX3070 or the RTX4000?
Before you ask, I think FreeCAD is CPU bound and not GPU bound, I cannot say if it utilizes OpenGL/CL or DirectX. Before you ask again, yeah idea is to get some paid work done, not just faffing around, so stability is kind of important. I know a used quadro doesn't have active support, but the card was once went for this thing, so it has had stuff sorted out at one point or another.
Anyhow, appreciated any words of wisdom.
