Papa John Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 (edited) PC obviously, unless you're using your computer to edit videos, don't go with a mac for gaming... Edited May 10, 2013 by Papa John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Short Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 If you go mac pro you get a nice case and laughable specs for that price, if you go PC you can get 2 top end cards along with a top line cpu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT RETINA DISPLAY. But seriously go with PC, especially for modeling and mapping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyHorse Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 (edited) I dont know if the quadro cards are viable for gaming, but if so you may want to do some research into one of those. Edited May 11, 2013 by Anonymau5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enigma# Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 (edited) Quadro video cards are just rebranded geforce variants with different specifications (CUDA cores for instance) You'll be able to game on it but it isn't anything crazy. If you go down the Titan route, it's not all bad of an idea (just pricey as hell) and you will be able to do many CAD-related, 3d e.g. without too many drawbacks. I do however find both AMD and nVidia's workstation class cards a bit pricey if you only intend on gaming and low level stuff. Also, one video card is probably enough unless you're going man-mode on monitors. Up to you. 3000 dollars is a whole lot. If your intentions are for gaming, you can easily build a machine with a massive amount of throughput however, you mgiht want to assess your priorities in relation to your needs. Finally, f you choose to buy Mac, there are a few drawbacks in doing so. Remember, it won't be able to natively handle all your apps however, you will reap many benefits (Logic, for the audio dudes) or FinalCut Pro.

Dear god why. bt i also hear that they lack power, but i was looking at their specs, and they have a mac with i7 ivy, 12gb ram memory for $2.200. Yeah, you can do a lot better than that with a PC for $2,200. As for graphic design, as long as you get used to the software for coding/websites/games, you should be fine unless you're making games for iOS then you'll probably have trouble.
