I've been looking at some of the custom gaming machines as an option. I can't afford HP's ready made systems but these gaming machines come in a bit cheaper. What do you think Carey?
Right now today if you are looking for bang for buck for AE, the one-two punch of an i7 3930k plus GTX 690 delivers a bang-for-buck factor like nothing else.
The gist is, as others were saying, that CUDA is only a factor for the ray-traced 3D renderer. OpenGL speeds up some things, but any reasonably modern card fits the OpenGL requirements.
