I'm trying to decide between a gaming PC and a workstation.
I will be using Revit, and occasional rendering with a program like D5 Render. Revit requires a fast (single core clock speed) CPU (primarily) and rendering requires a good GPU, So I need the best of both worlds. And I usually have several other programs running in the background like Adobe Bridge, Photoshop, One Note, Firefox.
I've narrowed it down to :
The difference between the CPU's is the workstation has i7 14700 and the Vista has i7 14700KF
I'm really not interested in overclocking, and I think the KF performs slightly better.
While they both have the same max clock speed, the i7 14700 has a base clock of only 2.1 which concerns me with respect to Revit. I assume that the lower base clock speed will consume less power and will be cooler when you dont need it, but when using Revit it would ramp up to the max if necessary.
The fundamental difference between the GPU (from what I understand) is that the RTX Quadro in the worstation is designed for accuracy, while the RTX GeForce is designed for speed at the price of accuracy. Also the Quadro is certified by Autodesk (Revit) and will provide support if there is an issue, while the GeForce is not. This last point is not that important to me.
Oh, and the Quadro is more $$$.
I'm not a computer expert and am struggling to make the choice. Any advice would be helpful.
