<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Look at Titan. We went with Quadro, but it seems to me the Titan is just as capable for OpenSPIM deconvolution as implemented by Preibisch et al. If nVidia
had they’re way they would have us buy a Tesla and a Quadro-a pretty penny indeed (http://www.nvidia.com/object/multi-gpu-technology.html). In fact most of the Quadros are crippled to push users to purchase the pair. If I were going build another computer
for OpenSPIM I would go with the Titan. It is more than capable and arguably better than most of the Quadros by price and uses the same processor as the K6000. There are differences in memory architectures between the Titan and some (one) of the Quadro lines
but this probably isn’t worth the extra cost either. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,everyone:<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> Now I want to buy a computer to do the OpenSpim. Howeve, I don't know what kinds of graphics cards should I buy, Tesla or Quadro? I know Telsa is specific used for culculate and it is not support display, and quadro can be used for
culculate and display.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Does the software of OpenSpim/fiji emphasize parallel culculate or render(display) ?<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> Besides, I have no enough menoy to buy a computer equiped with both kinds of cards.<o:p></o:p></p>
