    I would have just started spamming something like "ALL GLORY TO HYPNOTOAD" just to make the doctors and researchers think something had gone horribly wrong.

    As I said, my renderengine is able to combine the Ram of the two cards when they are NV linked. 🙂

    I am no expert here but I can see them doing 3-4 things:
     
     1. Hiring a team of lawyers and engineers to scour the wording of the bill to exploit each and every loophole they can find.
     2. Designing their devices to be as obtuse, through both hardware and software, to be as user unserviceable as possible while remaining within the law.
     3. Running a misinformation campaign denouncing the bill.
     4. Budgeting a massive lobbying initiative to combat the bill in government. 
     
     The worst part is that they will be far, far from alone in this endeavor.

    Immitem got a reaction from scottyseng in workstation quadro p4000 vs gtx 1080 ti   
    I am trying to multi-quote here and I really do not know how so bear with me.
     
     I will be keeping the w9100 as I often work with hardsurface models consisting of thousands of objects and millions of polygons and the constant pausing with the other cards is a deal breaker. Since I use Redshift I actually have two 1070s in addition to the Titan XM and will be keeping all of them for GPU rendering. Despite the differences in the viewport performance the 1070 and Titan XM render roughly at the same speed. 
     
     
     With a single character under a million polygons viewport interaction should not be affected if you are using a geforce card. On the other hand 100 10,000 polygon objects most certainly would. It depends on what you are working on and if it is only a single character with a few objects (character plus clothes plus effects) then the Geforce is the way to go.
     
     The w9100 has 5.2 Teraflops of raw processing power and games just as well as a 290x whereas the p4000 has 5.3 and thus would likely perform the same though there is a significant amount of hearsay that AMD cards, even their consumer Radeon cards, perform better than Quadros in Maya. This was true as far back as Maya 2013 but I do not know if there is any truth to this today. I will say that the Firepro suffers the same problems that my Geforce cards experience in Maya in 3DS Max 2014. Lastly, unlike the AMD drivers the Quadro drivers tend to be utter ass for gaming so if you intend to do any the P4000 would probably get roughly the same performance as a 1050 with an inconsistent FPS.
