Previously we were considering purchasing GPU Xpanders but as many have mentioned, we started running the numbers and it probably makes more sense to just get upgraded PCs. Anyways, just wanted to get some opinions on this possible setup from Origin PC. Does anyone have experience with them? What issues am i overlooking?
Couple notes: 1-We want to stick with a Quadro for Solidworks and would specify the twin 780s dedicated for rendering. 2 - This is in a corporate environment. Please do not suggest a DIY build. I know you could build it for cheaper but that isn't happening here anytime soon.
