external GPU for rendering 3dsMAX

[notes2john]

Anyone using an External GPU for renderings? I'm using a MBP and was thinking about one of these options for rendering power... Primary use is for Architectural Visualization...

So something along this line...

NOT interested in using for gaming!

Hi,

If you'll be using the GPU mainly for Architectural Visualization and no games at all that means you'll need a NVIDIA Quadro or a AMD FirePro.

Here are sample and technical specifications of a Quadro and Firepro.

Here's a thread about this concern as well.

I could run a benchmark with my eGPU (MBPr 15" and GTX970).
