Graphics cards for GPU
So i sorta made a bon headed move. I bought 2 Nvidia 4800 Graphics Cards and when i bought the Mac i got a ATI radeon card. I oblivouly cant put all three cards in the Mac pro without a expansion, do to the lack of power.
so i am wondering what will give me the best performace. should i leave the ATI card in Slot 1 and use it as the GUI processor and put 1 of the Nvidia cards in slot 2 for GPU processing. which would then leave me my second Nvidia card to put in a Sprate mac for use with After Effects.
Or should i Put both Nvidia cards in Slot 1 and 2 and just toss out the ATI card.
any thoughts would be helpful
