we're preparing to purchase a new computer, and now that we've played with the demo of lumion, want to make sure its built to handle the program.
we're set to purchase the following:
Core I5 750 2.66mhz 8mb L3 Cache LGA 1156 95W Quad-Core Processor
P7H55-M/CSM MP 7H55-M/CSM Motherboard   DDR3 4gb
with an NVIDIA GTX 480.
Â
before i buy, i was wondering if someone might be able to give an idea of what kind of performance we'd get out of this setup. is it likely to provide smooth interaction at high quality output, like the tutorials exhibit? would it need to be run at reduced quality, but still able to output efficiently?
Â
we're also thinking of spending the extra bit on the GTX 580, instead of 480. what kind of difference might we see in performance between the two?
Â
love the demo. cant wait to get the real thing!
thanks!
