You go quadro because the budget is larger...... 

Still not understanding.... can you explain your thought more fully? 

 

This is what I'm understanding of the situation:  Wealthy person wants powerful workstation. Workstation should have lots of fast cores, lots of RAM, specified amounts of fast storage, and be very capable of various video/graphics editing workloads.

 

I mention that my personal HEDT rig can already meet or exceed all those requirements at probably a few thousand dollars less than the specified budget. 

 

That being said, I don't think there would be sufficient budget gap to swap from Titan RTX cards to any meaningful-improvement Quadro, for the specified use cases.

 

never said anything about the GV100 being the only enterprise GPU. I mentioned those as a response to the notion that one would want to spend money simply to spend money.

The quadros are better for CAD and machine learning. They have better drivers and have better stability. Companies don't buy quadros because they just want to spend more money. They buy them because they are superior for business use. They also have features that the titan series cards do not which is why I suggested one for their use case. If they just wanted a 20k gaming rig there is no way I would recommend a quadro simply because it is more expensive. For what they are doing a quadro would 100% make sense over a titan.

I don't disagree about Quadros being better at certain workloads, but this is what the OP wrote for the use case

3d modeling, vr, and extensive research (as well as neural network stuff)

 

Given that there is a budget constraint of $20,000, which of those workloads do you feel the much higher priced Quadro RTX 6000 ($6300 each) would be better enough to justify the reduction in budget for the remaining system components?

 

2 Quadro RTX 6000's is already more than half the total system budget at $12,600, leaving 'only' $7,400 for everything else.

 

Based on the stated use cases I don't see the Quadro being a wise option over the Titan RTX, especially minding the budget cost.

Quadra have way better CAD support than titan series does. And 7400 dollars is more than enough to build the rest of the system. Also reliability and stability are much better so yeah the quadro s would be worth it.

Given your opinion then, what parts would you arrange the rest of the system with?

 

I definitely would not be comfortable meeting the rest of the stated system requirements with only $7400 USD...

What were you planning on getting? You don't need alot of cpu horsepower for what they are doing so yeah 7400 is more than enough.

Let me rephrase my question. What are you planning in getting that would require more than 7400?

something more along the lines of what everyone else suggested with their PC Part Picker lists.

Of the couple pc part picker list most of them had a rtx 6000 gpu in them so I would say you are being a bit rediculus. There was even one with the 32 core and thread ripper and 128gb of ran with 2way nvlink rtx 6000 series gpus that could easily have gotten the job done. They could even replace the threadripper with an i9 and the price would be about the same. Some of the other list spent a crazy amount if money in unnessisary places like 1000+ 4k monitors which isn't gonna do much over a decent 4k monitor of half the price. 7400 is more than enough for the rest of the parts.

that's fine, I don't mind your insults - was just curious what your approach to addressing this type of build and budget was.

 

Thanks for the insight and Merry Christmas, friend!

Me disagreeing with you on what the best choice is for them is not me insulting you. I am unsure why you think I insulted you as that was never my intent and I can't seem to find anything in our conversation that would be misinterpreted as such.

I wouldn't say that calling people ridiculous is a polite thing to do, but to each their own.

anyway thank you for explaining your thoughts on how you would meet these criteria - I definitely learned that there are completely different approaches to solving this type of build.
