I know this is the usual boring question that comes out from time to time... I'm going to order a new workstation soon, I still have to decide the brand but I'm looking into internal hardware.
For the CPU I'm leaning towards Xeon 2630 v3 or Xeon 2650 v3, depends on the budget. It would probably be single CPU since Creo doesn't get much benefit from multiple CPUs anyway.
I'm in doubt about the GPU though, I've always been an Nvidia Quadro user so maybe K2200 or K4200 should be good, but what about AMD? It seems they have some nice trick and optimizations for Creo, do you have any experience with them? Any suggestion?
Oh right, the use case: I'm using Creo for modeling optoelectronic devices, so no very complex shapes and no large assemblies, but I'm also running Zemax and other simulation software together with Creo.
