A client of mine asked me to build a CAD workstation for them. I am looking at either the Nvidia Quadro FX 4600 ~$1500 or the AMD/ATI FireGL v7700 ~$1000. To the best of my knowledge they will be using AutoCAD (not sure which version, 2007 or 2008) and CADDuct. I can't find a workstation video card comparison chart that has these 2 cards in it so I was seeking the input of you guys in here. thanks.

There is a workstation graphics chaert at Tom's Hardware located here:
http://www.tomshardware.com/charts/...-5-graphics,119.html?p=2006,1216,308,305,2008
The Quadro FX 4600 is on there but the closest to the V7700 is the V7600. There is also no AutoCad benchmark on there I could find. I would like to help more, but workstation graphics iisn't my expertise.

ya i looked at a workstation chart on tom's earlier but either it wasn't this one or I didn't expand it.
I have used Maya before and it is a very intensive app but not sure how well performance for maya will translate into performace for autocad and cadduct
