Best CAD workstation?

[bell475]

Any recommendations for choosing the best motherboard and graphics card for working in Fusion 360 and other CAD tasks? I would like to use the Quadro k4000 or k5000 but don't see it listed as a recommended gpu.
Thx!

Ebay has listings for k5000 Quadros that have been reflashed for Macs:

Anyone have any experience with these?

There are much newer and better cards than the K4000 and K5000 Quadros. The problem is that they don't work with Mojave. No drivers yet. If you want to use High Sierra and the web drivers you could get a newer card like a P1000 that would work. We don't know if it will ever work with newer versions of macOS from Mojave on up.

If you need to run Mojave then go with the K4000 for now. Sell it later on if Nvidia ever gives us drivers for newer cards. You don't need to flash it for it to work in a Hackintosh. Should work OOB as it is Kepler based.
