Hm… did you close and start Rhino when changing settings? That is required for the changes to update.
Although the graphics card was 1/3 of my budget. $609.00 on sale . I think I will be pleased with its performance.

I think that the NVIDIA GTX is good only for games :).
i cant believe that HD 6900 series has a such nice score!
here si my score:
I use a old Xeon overclocked with +500mhz over 3Ghz on an LGA 775 socket (patched Xeon)
I have only 4GB DDR2 800mhz QPI ram running on Windows 10 x64.
I think the score is quite nice.

I’m building a new Mini ITX computer and shopping for cards. I used a K5000 for over a year and have liked it but I was interested in other possibilities and just got the M5000 today. I ran everything at the same settings, NVIDIA slider set to Quality, AAx4 in Rhino with no other filtering/AA. I tried KBoost with the 980Ti under EVGA Precision tool, but it didn’t make a significant difference in the test results.

Although the graphics card was 1/3 of my budget. $609.00 on sale . I think I will be pleased with its performance.

well, i wish i could remember. that was so long ago that im not sure what the changes were that i made. i think it was a little overclocking and tweaking of the driver settings.
Getting ready to buy a computer for Rhino. From what I am seeing here, and reading it seems like money is better spent on the fastest CPU clock time vs a Xeon. So a Intel® Core™ i7-6700K Processor
(8M Cache, up to 4.20 GHz) would be about the best processor to get? Then spend all the extra money on RAM and SSD?
I am still fuzzy on the display cards. looking like maybe the Quadro is not worth the money and a Gforce would be money better spent? I am not a renderer at this point. I use it to design parts for cnc cutting and 3d printing.
Am I getting on the right track? Desktop is fine.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Spot on.
A Quadro can handle more and heavier meshes than a GeForce in rhino, but you only notice this when dealing with very large meshes (2 million polys and above) and it is faster with many meshes in the simplified render mode I use for some of the tests in Holomark.
Personally I just moved from a Quadro 4000 to a GeForce 970 since I need the extra GPU power in Unity 3D (Virtual Reality etc) and it is just as fast in everyday use, so I would test out a GeForce first to see if it does the job for you, or you can buy my old 4000 cheap

Great! So
That is the best intel processor for Rhino?
Anything special about the RAM I need to know or just jam in 64gig of anything and I will be good?
I might have to hit you up on the Quadro… I deal a lot with huge meshes…unfortunately. Again, not into rendering, working…lots of math I guess. So for rendering and all the pretty and shadowy stuff maybe the Gforce are better bang for the buck but for working on large models and complex parts and large meshes (not pretty renderings) the Quadros are better? I want my view ports snappy and moving around smooth. I used to build computers but just do not have the time, or the time to get caught up on all the new information and specifications. So I need someplace to build me one that works…Black Friday and all with some financing is what I need.
Hmm…The Dell I am looking at (I can get financing there) has NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 960 2GB DDR5 card. I suppose this will be ok eh?
And is 32GB Dual Channel DDR4 2133MHz (8GB x 4) ok? Or should I really try for more.
it has this processor is mainly what I am after:
6th Generation Intel® Core™ i7-6700K Processor (8M Cache, up to 4.2 GHz
Yes, It seems to be a very fast processor.

If you buy that processor YOU WONT HAVE PROBLEMS WITH VIDEOCARD!
You can easly buy a Quadro K620 (cheapest) and score over 35k points on HOLOMARK 2.
If you want to score over 74k then buy atleast a geforce GTX 970 or Quadro K5200.
Awesome.
Tomorrow I will have it and then I can try Holomark 2 after I get it set up. I hate setting up new computers…And I have never used windows 10 so this will be doubly fun. What I ended up with as a package is
32GB Dual Channel DDR4 2133MHz (8GB x 4)
NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 960 2GB DDR5
6th Generation Intel® Core™ i7-6700K Processor (8M Cache, up to 4.2 GHz)
256GB M.2 Solid State Drive + 2TB 7200 rpm Hard Drive
I am not sure about this hard drive though…not sure if it is 2 separate drives or some hybrid drive that has both in it? If it is a hybrid I will look at picking up a separate 500G SSD. Not sure on what to keep on the normal drive vs what to keep on the solid state drive to keep performance up.
So hopefully I can see what kind of scores I can pull off with this setup. Then if I need to I can always upgrade the videocard later. I know this will be a huge upgrade from my current laptop.
Looks nice! And I am sure you will like Win 10, I think it’s Microsoft’s best OS to date.
I presume it is two separate drives, that’s what I use on my workstations at least. This is what I do:
SSD = OS and APPS for speedy start up and load.
HDD = Files and downloads etc.
So I set up the cloud things (dropbox, onedrive etc.) to use the HDD.
