On a more serious note, what is you job?

[IKnight]

What do you do for work?

[JCBiggs]

This should up my nightly ehereum score quite a bit :D:D


its just an ol' p4000, but i tell you... coming from the place i worked before...its like living in the bank vault.  I get to build 2 more workstations next year.  now that they have seen how well mine did (for 1500 less than any comparable system from any vendor)

Tooling engineer.  I actually needed a more powerful card, and my co worker needed my m2000 as his current card is seriously outdated and underpowered.  hiss pc wont push anything bigger  powerwise though...still its a win win.

I mean, i do know that this card is cool and all, but come on, am i the only one who thinks it looks (If it ain't) basically a plastic brick? I mean, where are the designers when you need them?

logging out now... installing this bastard.

And here I am sitting with my 3 year old work machine that came with a Quadro K5000 (and some 6C/12T Xeon) for no real reason.

Well i do. Actually many people do. Why would i care about playing any game on 4K, when my case looks like the inside of a trash can? I can already imagine that brick on a dark completely closed full black case all messy with dozens of cables and a giant CPU cooler. Nightmare fuel

Form before function my friend.  The real deal is that I needed more power for my job. I dont care what it looks like honestly.  my case has a clear case for 1 reason.  so i can see the numbers on the motherboard. other than that. I could care less.

Designers don't matter with the target market. They need the card to render. Intended userbase isn't even looking at the card. In my experience, all the CAD users I support know that the "CPU" is the tower. They've never even seen the internals of their workstations.

Big woop. I needed a truck with an 8ft. bed and extended cab for work. I got an overkill diesel RAM that gets nearly twice the fuel mileage as my Dakota or my boss' truck. Unfortunately, it gets 0 miles to the gallon of gas.

Well i mean, if you want to go that route, I have a $180,000 double column machining center due delivery q2.       

yes...youre right. its an 800 dollar card.. but still.. most engineers cant get a new mouse and keyboard.  its nice working in a place that will spend money.

hey I think it actually looks pretty good in there!  Much better than the m2000 did with the green PCB.  I promise though, Ill get rid of those rinky dink factory cables in the morning LOL.  The m2000 didnt need aux power so I had to use what was in the box till i unpack all my cables from the build in the morning. 

[JCBiggs]

and just a quick test before we go home.. I really still need to replace this motheboard so I can overclock.  Ive had tons of trouble with it.  Now cant get HyperV to work at all.   but still... not to bad I guess.

Meanwhile at my job:

 

me: *specifies 5/8" nut on drawing*

drawing reviewer: "you need to use jam nut there instead"

me:  MFW I see one 5/8" jam nut is $60 vs the $3 regular nut.

My office machine uses Quadro K4000 and needs an upgrade desperately. Actually, my whole machine needs an upgrade, we're still using 3570s.

We're still rocking i3-3220s, integrated graphics, and a cool 4gb of RAM. Runs AutoCAD and Inventor like a dream as you would expect.

I retract my previous post, YOU desperately need an upgrade!

We did just get an upgrade...They upgraded AutoCAD 2010 to AutoCAD 2016.

 

We've been hearing about getting upgraded computers for a couple years now. Although just an idea on how quick our IT requests are fulfilled: it took 6 months to get Adobe Acrobat installed on my computer.
