Graphics card for both gaming and 3d design
Hi,
I'm an architecture student and do a lot of heavy 3d stuff on various programs such as sketchup and 3dsMax, but i'm also a gamer, mass effect/skyrim/crysis etc.
I currently have a radeon hd 4870 in my desktop(ignore my spec on my profile they are for laptop)
it works pretty good for both gaming and 3d design, however i know cards such firepro and quadro are more suited specifically for 3d stuff.
My question is, if i were to get something like an AMD ATI FirePro V4800 (which is in my price range), would it still handle gaming well?
Secondly, can i just leave my 4870 in the motherboard with the fire pro and just switch cables each time i game?
Thanks!
