Well I can't wait any longer, and I must replace an aging Mac Pro.

I have decided to go Hackint= osh or maybe Windows if that does not work smoothly.

I have seen the benchmarks at Teddy's site = and am impressed with multiple graphics card performance. (Thank you for al= l that work Teddy!)

=A0I= am leaning towards a single card for now and leaving room for another late= r.

Would love to know what you all think of = the =A0gtx Titan for after effects use.=A0

I will also be doing lots of C4D.

I am leaning towards pairing it with an i7 3930 proc= essor hex core. It is cheaper than two cards.

<= p class=3D"MsoNormal">I want a bulldozer for pushing pixels around.<= u>

Any opinions?

Thanks in Advance!
