Hi there, I'm researching a machine for a client to run Photoscan and Cloudcompare. I'm not very familiar with either program myself so I'm not too sure what they require outside of lots of RAM, CPU, and OpenCL performance.

I read on one post (dated 2013) that Photoscan doesn't benefit from SLI or Crossfire. Is this still true?

My client is wanting to run a 3D monitor with NVIDIA 3DVision, but it also seems that AMD cards perform better with OpenCL and are a better choice for this setup. If I were to run a lower end NVIDIA card to power the display, and an AMD card for the processing, would that work? I want to make sure the AMD card won't just be ignored if it's not the primary video card.

That said, here's the parts we're looking at right now:

2 x Intel Xeon E5-2698
ASUS Z10PE-D8 motherboard
2 x Kingston DDR4 128GB RAM kits

Video card I'm not sure about, leaning towards either a Titan X if I can't run AMD and NVIDIA together for some reason, or a Fury X and a lower end NVIDIA card if I can.

Any feedback is greatly appreciated!
