Don't even ask why I'm using Windows XP, it's a hobby project. Anyway what the title suggests is true, running the very latest Catalyst drivers available for XP. When on the desktop its extremely laggy and black rectangles frequently appear. Any GPU intensive application runs worse than it did on the older board-integrated graphics. CPU is an AMD Athlon 64 4000+. -
I stumbled onto a couple of old FirePro V4900 that was about to be discarded, but decided to take it for myself. My dad has a rebuilt Dell Optiplex 790 (Core i5-2500, 8GB RAM, SSD+HDD, Ubuntu) where I transplanted it onto an old Cooler Master (circa 2013; probably N300). I put one of the GPUs there (cuz why not?). He primarily just watches videos on it (YouTube, Netflix, Crave, etc.). I figure the GPU might be able to help the CPU out in the long run (by reducing the stress), giving that PC a little more life. I'm now wondering if my assumption is correct? -

Which is the best go for workstation graphics card, for 2000$ budget build and also the best in the market. Also, what is the difference between gaming GPU and Workstation one, besides VRAM, can they be swapped over?

i need to build a rig focused on work over gaming, i dont have a big budget and i need to know if autocad and revit will work using an gtx 980 or i need to get one of those extremely expensive quadro or fire pro cards

Hey Everyone! So a recently nabbed a t3600 workstation from a friend for $150. It has a xeon E-1603, 8GB of DDR3 1633(I think), 3HDD in raid to make ~930GB space, and a firepro2200 (something doodoo). I was wondering if this is a good deal. I plan on switching out the FirePro for a GTX 960 and upgrading the ram to 16GB. The machine will 90% of the time be used for Adobe Lightroom as it will be my wifes workstation pc for editing. (Maybe she could do some light gaming as well?) Let me know your thoughts and ideas. Am I going the right way with upgrading? Did I buy a turnip?

So I was wondering what people thought the best workstation card was. Between the AMD FirePro, Nvidia Tesla, Nvidia Quadro, and the Intel Xeon Phi. I plan to build a workstation in the near future!

So this fall, I will be attending the University of Alberta to study engineering. Some of the programs I'll be using include: Autocad Wolfpack Mathematica ABAQUS VMGSim MS Visio Solidworks (CAD Package) ANSYS MathCAD Needless to say, I'll need a new computer. They sent out an email notifying future students the general specifications that will be required for computers. This link has the details. However, they don't specify what "CAD" GPU's are the minimum, only that it will be required. Knowing this, I knew double precision compute would be very important. So I was thinking of getting a Lenovo P71 workstation laptop. Specs: i7-7700HQ Win10 Pro 17.3" IPS UHD 4K 32GB DDR4 Nvidia Quadro P3000 The price is in the 3000+ Range and I plan on using it for at least 4-5 years through all my studies. Then I did some additional research into the double precision compute of the Quadros. From what I can tell, they are identical to the Geforce counterparts (even slightly lower because of the reduces clockspeeds) at 1/32 FP32. So what gives? Can a Geforce card be used effectively instead? If that is the case, I can use my current Asus G750 with a GTX 870m. If not, should I build a Ryzen Threadripper-based desktop with a Geforce card to handle heavy compute simulations and modelling? This option has the benefit of serving as a dual purpose workstation for studies and a gaming rig for relaxation in free time. Anyways, I have 2 months to decide but I need input from more informed people who know more about hardware than me (and I do know quite a bit) when it comes to professional applications. P.S. This might be a great video for Linus to do on techquickie or LTT about what different types of students should be looking for in a computer depending on their profession. -
Greetings all, I'm building a workstation PC and installing a custom water cooling loop. I need some help figuring out how to liquid cool my Firepro s9100 series server GPU's (see components list for models). I have a request out to EK and αcool for custom cooling solutions. I wondering if the community has any suggestions. Components:

hello I have been looking to upgrade my cheap gaming PC to a entry level to mid range workstation and wondered what I should get, I have chosen a cpu but just want to get a cheap GPU for cad just to give my 1050ti does anyone know of a work station gpu that I could get for cad for under $200 any idea's? I have done some searching and found cheap radeon pro WX1300's or a quadro 4000's and a tesla K10 or C2075 are these too overkill but I want to be able to keep it and use it for many years and to work with bigger and bigger projects as I progress. if you guys know of any other gpu's that will last a long time and are cheap please tell me. thanks I use aussie dollars

I'm trying to fix my old GPU, but I don't know how.
InternetRecluse posted a topic in Graphics Cards
Hello, I'm new to the LTT Forums and this will be my first post, but it's going to be a long post, because I've come here for help. Recently, I've gotten a new PC that I was told would be suitable for mid-tier gaming needs. When I received it, I plugged it in along with all of my peripherals, installed a 100% legitimate copy of W10 Pro and properly booted the computer. At first, things went OK aside from a bad display resolution due to the lack of drivers. I assumed that this would fix itself once my computer had internet access. I plugged in the networking cable and installed Overwatch, a game I was excited to try on PC. The driver's likely hadn't updated yet, as when I started the game the performance was incredibly poor. After a short time of the game running, my whole computer screen went dark. After this, I restarted it multiple times in multiple ways and always got to the same black screen, either shortly after or before windows booting. I found that the computer only worked properly for longer than 5 minutes if I disconnected the networking cable, but even then, the resolution and performance stayed the same. After these unsuccessful attempts at trying to get my computer to work properly, I decided to open it. Inside this old case, I found: An Intel Core i7-3820 An Asus P9x79 Motherboard A WD 465 HDDrive 4x4GB Corsair Vengeance DDR4 2300mHz RAM (Bottlenecked by both my motherboard and processor, unfortunately.) A 500W PSU and, the most likely root of my problems, a dusty, old looking AMD FirePro W5000. After this, I decided to go out and buy a new GPU to use until I had enough money to upgrade. It was a Gigabyte NVIDIA GT-1030. When I received it, I installed it along with its necessary drivers and to my surprise, everything worked as they should have. The performance of my games was as expected from this GPU and I had no boot issues or other problems, however, I wanted to be able to sell the AMD card for what it normally goes for online and hopefully buy a GTX1050 with the money, so I opened the case once again and installed it in the second PCIe x16 slot of my motherboard. I then connected both GPUs to my monitor via VGA/DVI-D and HDMI cables and booted the PC. While displaying through the GT1030, the computer booted and functioned fine. I reinstalled the latest AMD Drivers for this card and booted up Overwatch on the second "monitor" by switching my source to VGA, to test the card's performance. The game opened up automatically on ultra settings and ran very well, up until I entered the practice range. At this point, the screen flashed for a second and gave me the ":(" windows 10 blue screen. I restarted the PC and repeated the process in the same way and was hit with the same blue screen, and all attempts to boot the PC with both cards after that weren't getting me past the ASUS boot screen. So, my question is, what do I do? Is there anything I'm missing, a broken driver or a compatibility issue, or did the card get damaged while shipped to me in the PC? This computer used to work fine, as far as i've heard, as it is second hand from a relative. I don't expect many replies, but please help me out if you have seen these problems before, as i'd really like to be able to either use the better AMD card or sell it. -
Hi everyone, I got this FirePro V4800 for free, and thought I test it in some games. Please note: I know it wasn't originally intended to do this, but I don't have any productivity programs available. It was tested in the HP Z400 Workstation it came in. Specs of the Workstation: Intel Xeon W3530 12GB Unbuffered ECC DDR3-1333 OEM X58 LGA1366 Mainboard 475W 80+ Bronze PSU Specs of the FirePro: Based on the Redwood core, produced in 40nm 400 Shaders, 20 ROPs, 8 TMUs 1GB of GDDR5, attached to a 128 Bit interface. (57.6GB/s) GPU Clock: 775MHz MEM Clock: 900MHz Supports up to DirectX 11, FL 11_0. (Basically a Radeon HD5670 with slightly lower clocks) All games (except the two that crashed) were tested with the card overclocked to 950MHz Core and 1000MHz mem. Games tested: -> GTA V -> Rise of the Tomb Raider -> Fallout 4 -> The Forest -> Planet Coaster -> Cities:Skylines -> Also tried CS:GO and Portal 2, but those two crashed on startup. Note: All games were tested in 720p, lowest settings, except Cities:Skylines. Tests: GTA V (InGame Benchmark) Min: 25 Max: 97 Avg: 61 I also tested it in Singleplayer, all in all it was pretty playable. Sometimes only some textures were loaded, probably due to only 1GB of VRAM. Rise of the Tomb Raider (InGame Benchmark) Min: 11 Max: 44 Avg: 25 I think the numbers speak for themselves. Fallout 4 (walking around Diamond City, then heading towards Trinity Tower) Min: 15 Max: 58 Avg: 41 It was kinda playable. But apart from that Fallout looks absolutely horrible on the lowest settings, it was OK. The Forest (Walking around the Sinkhole) Min: 26 Max: 41 Avg: 35 I would describe it as playable. But there was nothing built, so keep in mind when you build something, the FPS will be lower. Planet Coaster (Park with 1,500 guests) Min: 3 Max: 29 Avg: 18 So this wasn't playable. Maybe at a lower resolution, but I wouldn't try it, because it already looked terrible. Cities: Skylines (City with 50K Citizens) Note: This was the only game that was tested in 1600x900, lowest settings, to avoid a CPU Bottleneck. Min: 15 Max: 33 Avg: 25 I think it is playable. Cities: Skylines isn't a game were you need particularly high FPS. Just to say: The VRAM was constantly running full, and the game used more than 10GB of RAM. To end it all up, here's a picture of the card Because it's a reference card, it has got this really nice red PCB. I hope you all don't buy one of these, as long as you won't use it for more than a display adapter

http://www.amd.com/en-gb/products/graphics/workstation/firepro-remote-graphics/s9150 I found one of these for really cheap, but I noticed it has no display out ports. How exactly does this thing work, or do anything, without having a display output? And would I benefit by combining this with my GTX 1080? -
So, I was scrolling through EUCOMTECH looking for an RX 480 when I spot this odd looking beast priced at DOUBLE that of the RX480, I'd love to know what the hell it is and why it justifies that pricetag, because really? something that looks like its from 2006 and only has 2GB of VRAM commanding a €300+ pricetag?? anyways, here it is! thoughts down below please!

So I got two of these: http://www.amd.com/en-gb/products/graphics/workstation/firepro-3d/7900# and I'm wondering if I can Crossfire them with a normal crossfire cable. The spec sheet says that I "should have" a Crossfire pro cable, but from what I've seen it looks like people were fine using a normal crossfire cable on Firepros Thanks! -Alec

so i found an amd fire pro v4900 for 60$ and i currently have an hp compaq 7900 with an intel core 2 duo e8400 running at 3.00 ghz and 4 gb of ddr2 ram but i have no gpu whatsoever and i use my igpu for gaming so should i go for the v4900?

Hi, I was building a desktop for 3D rendering of games, but I would also like to occasionally play games on it. I came across linus video on the flexibility offered by AMD crossfire and I was wondering if it would be possible to crossfire between FirePro and Radeon graphic cards? Since, I would like to get the high fps for games and the high anti aliasing precision of capabilities of each card. If so, does any one have any recommendations for a crossfire between any 8Gb radeon and an 8Gb firepro card? I would also, appreciate it if some one could give me recommendations that could be 4 way crossfire compatible for future upgrades. I am sorry for the long post, since I have never used a AMD graphics card before and I am not sure about their performance. FYI the link to linus video is given below:

Hi guys So a guy on the Facebook group that I joined asked whether or not the Firepro M4000 GPU can run Rise of the Tomb Raider I said no but then he showed me a video of GTA V playing on that GPU, all the setting maxed out at 1440p. I watched it and I saw lags and even crashes Could the Firepro M4000 really that strong? How is it comparing to the HD7670M and the Quadro K2000M? If anyone need translation, please reply and I'll translate it for you

Hello all, A friend of mine is an enthusiast, video editor and a casual gamer. Currently he has ATI Radeon HD 6770 GPU and wants an upgrade. He is thinking about getting a Firepro, but that's way expensive. What I suggested him to go for a Gaming GPU, as video encoding works on CUDA and OpenCL. His budget is somewhere around the price of GTX 960, Can you all please suggest a decent Graphics card for his purpose, which will be a significant upgrade over his old GPU? Also there is no brand preference, so Team Green or Red, anything is welcome. Cheers all, and thank you in advance. -
Hello Everyone, i'm a new member to this forum. Here's a question that i would like to ask. So, i'm a student of Architecture (B.Arch). I do lot of 2D and 3D work for academic purpose, i use softwares such as Autodesk Revit, Autodesk AutoCad, Rhino 3D , Google SketchUP and Photoshop. I have been using a Lenovo Y510p laptop for almost a year now, it has an inbuilt Nvidia Geforce GT755m 2GB GDDR5 clocked at 5400 MHz (GPU clock 955MHz), 384 Cuda Cores and 86.4GB/s of memory bandwidth. It can handle most basic works such as 2D drafting in Autocad and general modelling in Rhino & Revit. But, when i try to make large models such as an Airport or creating a mesh of complicated geometry in Rhino, that's when the lagging starts happening, when i 3D orbit a model, it takes so much time to revolve,it hampers the productivity greatly and takes a lot of time in changing views. With that said, I checked a few online forums, they said all these issues are taken care by professional cards such as Nvidia Quadro or AMD FirePro series. I did my own sort of research from what is available on the internet, and i happen to find out that, Quadros and Firepros do not have that much benefit over a Geforce or an AMD Radeon now a days, beacuse , earlier the softwares used to run on Open GL, but now, most of them run on DIrect X. And then, there was another group of people who said Quadros give jaw dropping performance for Professional softwares such as AutoDesk Revit, Maya etc. I then selected a Quadro K2200 4GB DDR5 which is retailing at around INR 32,000 ($480), it is a refresh of the earlier K2000 model, and the newer one is based on Maxwell Architecture which is supposed to be very power efficient.To be honest, i'm also a bit of a gamer, i have previously owned a GTX 295 , an AMD HD 6770 and a GTX660Ti. So, after going through the market price, i thought of dropping the idea of buying a Quadro and instead choose to buy a Zotac GTX 970 AMP Extreme Core Edition (ZT-90107-10P), my other selections were MSI R9 390, Sapphire R9 390X , but the overclocked version of Zotac even touches the reference GTX 980 in most cases let alone the AMD cards which are notoriously power hungry. Like i said, i previously owned 2 PCs which are at my home, and my college is in a different State, but now i have decided to upgrade one of my PC and bring it to my Hostel.So, i would like to know whether i'm taking the right decision or not for gaming and my Academic work loads. I'm upgrading my Rig which is as follows : Intel Core i7 920 (2.8 GHz) (5 year old CPU) Intel DX580G Extreme Motherboard (X58 chipset) Zotac Geforce GTX 970 Amp core extreme edition (ZT 90107 10P) Samsung 850 evo 500 GB SSD Corsair Vengence 4 X 4GB DDR3 1600 MHz Deepcool Malestrom 120 AIO Liquid CPU Cooler Cooler Master 500Watt PSU/ Corsair TX750W Cooler Master HAF 932/ Cooler Master Elite 311. i would be using a FullHD 24'' Monitor for Working and Gaming. Please suggest should i stick to Quadro or GTX970 would do the job, and if not, will AMD R9 3XX series be a better option? I also know about the 3.5GB+.5GB issue on the GTX 970, is it going to effect much or not, please suggest, thank you.

Hello everyone. I am looking for people who have experience with the two programs mentioned above. I want to know what CPU and GPU you have them running with and what your experience with them is. I currently have a second gen i7 and a GT 530 in my workstation. Recently I have been experiencing some frame rate drops when rotating models and if I even try turning on shadows my PC turns to molasses. Also when opening up script commands my computer will freeze up for 30 seconds before allowing me to type something. I would also appreciate some first hand experiences with Quadro cards from Nvidia and how they perform. At this point I'm still not convinced a $600-$700 Quadro K4000 can outperform a GTX 980. Thanks for reading!

Hi, I already have a computer built, so this would be purely adding another card in: I have a Firepro W5100 in my desktop, used for CAD work and similar. Could I add a gaming card (gtx 970 or r9 290x) if I want to get into gaming? They wouldn't have to be crossfire, they would be purely for different purposes. And would there be any benefit to going with radeon over geforce? Thanks! Oh, and if it is possible, how would display outputs work? Which card would they need to be plugged into? -
Hey guys, I wonder if I want to downsample a video using Xilisoft or a similar kind of software without editing it, will AMD Firepro or nVidia Quadro helps fasten the process ? How is it compare to a regular Radeon or GeForce (not a TITAN) Do you guys prefer using Firepro or Quadro, have any experience with driver, compatability, etc ? Thanks
-
Hi guys! I'm planing a build for a friend that does a lot of CAD work, specially with the AUTODESK suite, REVIT and AUTOCAD. I want to know how good is a GTX 960 compared to a Quadro k1200? He is NOT going to game with this PC. Thanks! Any other suggestions are appreciated as wel..

I was put to the task of finding a suitable graphics card for my local Makerspace for computers that will be running a couple CAD programs including Solidworks, Autocad, Revit and the Creo. I went searching for benchmarks of those programs to Firepro and Quadro to figure out which one to pick. But I have no clue when it comes to all the variations of the workstation graphics card. I researched AMD and the Nvidia website and still couldn't find too much on why there's so many.
