Yup. That’s exactly it.
This machine will be used for AE, PPro, C4D a lot.
My current setup is a 5770 for GUI, and Q4000 for GPU. But at the price of the flashed 470 / 480 an extra 250 CUDA cores are tempting for sure. That means I’ll slide the Q4000 into GUI in slot2 and 470 / 480 into slot1 for GPU.
I know the 480 would definitely require external power. But I’m kind-of still stuck on the question if I could scavenge power for the 470 internally. Thoughts here are welcome between the 470 & 480 since they have the same amount of cores, right?
Anyone using the Newegg GPU power box? What’s your wiring plan? I don’t want to leave my box open.
