Quadro 6000 is roughly equivalent to a GTX470 so the 580s would still beat a 6000/tesla comb

even with the cubix box it would probably still be way cheaper

Listers,

A client is looking to pick up a couple of the new Mac Pros and they asked me to help with the best specs for CS6 Raytracer.

I know we touched on this a while back - what is the best, as in fastest, budget is not an issue, GPU set-up for the Mac + WIN

As I understood it, the NVIDIA Quadro 6000 combo Tesla is pretty much top of the heap on WIN... correct?

What gets closest (fastest) on the Mac?

Cheers,
Chris
