I know, very similar to many others/boring question but bear with me.
Following is my system configuration:
Windows 8 Professional 64-bit
AMD Bulldozer FX4100 3.6GHz
16GB Transcend DDR3 (8+8) @ 1333 MHz
Motherboard - Asus M5A78L-MLX V2 (can't support two graphics cards right?)
1TB Seagate SATA HDD (if that makes any difference)
Current graphics card - Radeon HD 5450
I'd like to upgrade my graphics card as it just doesn't seem to do it anymore. Lags a lot while panning/orbiting large models using Autodesk Showcase 2015. I'm going to soon start using Rhino and 3dsMax, and don't want the same thing happening or it taking too long to render.
My budget does not increase beyond the K600, so I cannot buy the K2000. After reading so many reviews, all mixed opinions and case-specific replies, I'm more confused than before. My question is: should I buy the K600 or a similar/equivalent Geforce/Radeon/FirePro (in price also) card. If any of the latter, which card would you recommend?
This is a video of how my Showcase moves right now:
Pivoting in Autodesk Showcase 2015 with Radeon HD 5450 - YouTube
PS: Also, if there's some big sale or something happening in the US, where expensive cards are being sold cheap, do let me know.
