Being a Structural Engineer I'm pretty graphics heavy on the graphics cards, so the time has come to upgrade the graphics card on my workstation. I know there are a few people who use 3D modelling on here so maybe I can tap the grey matter?
I've currently got an AMD Firepro V5700 which has been great until now. AMD no longer support it (it's 5ish+ years old), it doesn't support 4k monitors, win10 drivers are not available and it's no longer certified for the software I use, mainly AutoCAD 2016 and Revit 2016, it's likely that when I upgrade to 2017 in a couple of months that it will get a little worse.
So far I've really liked the AMD Firepro workstation cards and will probably stick with them but tech has moved on so much in 5 years that I don't know what I need to look at anymore.
Requirements will be:
Autodesk certified drivers for REVIT and AUTOCAD
Dual 4k monitors with possible upgrade to 3 later
Win 10pro compatible but Win7pro support (while I check all the other software I use is compatible! - some are WinXP but just about works on Win7pro)
Budget - not sure yet but prolly around £300ish/$400-500, less if possible as this is an unexpected upgrade, more if necessary.
Thoughts?
