multi CPU sim vs. single GPU Nov. 21, 2014, 1:36 a.m.
I ended up going with this:
i7 4790k 4.0 ghz
GTX970 and a GTX750ti (750ti I'm using for display, but may switch it out for an older GPU I have and use it for gaming on my older PC instead since it is overkill for just dual display
)
480GB SSD
2 TB HDD
MSI Z97 PC MATE
32GB RAM
So far the GTX970 is amazing when running openCL sims and no compatibility issues at this point. I ran a smoke solver at 400^3 at 47fpm, on CPU it was at about 3.5.
When it comes time to render or do other kinds of sims I will wish I had gone with multi CPU, but at this point I feel good about going with more powerful GPUs.
