it has to be the same series and = if they dont have the same amount of ram it will use the lesser amount of t= he two for each card

For AE I would think the most performance u= will get at that price is the 590gtx which has 4x the cuda cores and 3GB r= am

More cores means faster rendering and then the more ram= on the card will help out with larger evironment maps

The q4000 will be much slower
The 590 is basically 2 580s on= one board. Depending on your system There's also the gtx480 =A0and 580= where can install multiple cards that AE will use
