Geforce 560 ti or 550 ti?
-
using sketchup there is much difference in performance between the two cards? a 560 costs the same as two 550.....
I'll use a Intel i5 2500 -
I would say yes! I recently switched from a Radeon HD 5770 to a GTX 560 TI 2GB and it looks much smoother to me in Sketchup at 2550x1440.
But i have to say, that i'm still working with Sketchup 7.1 - i tried v8 but it's slower for me! It switches back to wireframe navigating on scenes that work smooth without degrading in v7.1. But that's only a side note...Here is a comparison of the cards (gaming benches)
http://www.tomshardware.com/charts/2011-gaming-graphics-charts/Enthusiast-Index,2674.htmlIf you look where the 550TI is listed, it's at the same level like a HD5770, so it should be nearly the same difference to a 560TI.
But i think sketchup is still very CPU dependent... so it would be helpful to buy a 2500K and overclock it to 4-4,5GHz.

Talking about SLI, anyone have a SLI profile for Sketchup
Currently force rendering mode 1 or 2 doesnt really do much.
In regards to your question to video card, spend more money on CPU over GPU unless your after market renderer
, i.e. Vray for SU 2.0 (in the works) uses GPU to process render. -
thanks!
