AMD Firepro
sup guys
i was wondering
why does everyone use quadro cards
i have never ever seen a firepro being mentioned when it comes to suggesting parts for aa workstation
ive only seen firepro cards in macs and that pretty much it
I have noticed this too. Every single engineering PC I have ever dealt with has had a quadro, never a firepro. So one day I asked my friendly IT guy what was up with that.
He said market share. When Nvidia started selling more cards than AMD (professionally) software programmers started spending more and more time catering to the strengths of the Quadro's over the firepro's. Since then the effect has compounded to an almost complete saturation of the professional market with Quadros.
Written from my work PC supported by a Quadro K4000.
