Computer Geeks: What To Do With Hardware.... Hmmmm

[General karthief]

I'm looking to get these guys setup to do this type of work, what do you suggest computer wise?

 

[Noobz347]

I suggest that you get with one of the vendors that sells the hardware necessary for digital tuning.

SCT
Diablo
Dynojet

Whatever others....

I heard GPUs were possibly on the way out. Mray and Vray rendering are becoming more GPU based. This was direct info from Nvidia and Xi company reps. Not sure how much longer the Tesla units will be of value.

Subtotal $46,442.59 how many cats is that?

I don't think we're going to see the end of GPUs any time soon. It may change form a bit but we're going to see dedicated cards for rendering video for quite some time yet.
