Quadro P1000 and Motherboard compatibility

[Neo-Matrix]

Hi All,

 

Firstly I am asking on behalf of my brother, link below is his current HP Desktop specs on his table at home

 

https://support.hp.com/my-en/document/c03700059

 

So, he was asking me if I can confirm a Nvidia Quadro P1000 could work with his Motherboard. According to the site his mobo specs did shown it had a PCI-E 3.0 Gen x16 slot (requirement to slot a P1000), I think there won't be any issue to plug that in

 

But however, after I done some research, it seems that Quadro Processor needs a motherboard to be Quadro Certified to make sure the chipsets actually supports the Card.

I am really not sure if this is the correct place to post this question, or should I post it in motherboard session?

 

Well, the reason my brother want to get a quadro card cuz he is an advertising artist, had to do some rendering from time to time, as of now the whole country is in lockdown here bcuz of Covid19, ao he was forced to work from home. He thinking to just grab a second hand P1000, just to to plug in to his current pc and work with it for 4 weeks.

 

Any helps and advice are welcome.

It will work, its just a video card, it doesn't really care what mobo it goes in.

 

With that said though, unless you specifically know you need a quadro, you likely don't need one. Any video card can do rendering, quadro's just have "special drivers" that "let them do it more efficiently". But unless your software actually takes advantage of it, or you do have a specific reason on getting one (possibly like HUGE VRAM needs which the new quadros will have you covered for as they have much, much more VRAM than a standard gaming card), there really isn't a reason to get one over a normal video card. You just end up paying more.

 

What software is he using, and what are his needs?

Hi, Just checked, mainly for Lumion, 3Ds Max, Revit and V-ray plugin to 3Ds Max.

Normally after render will use Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator to do some visual effects before sending out <---- think this part have nothing to do with GPU in anyway.

 

Sometimes have to use AutoCAD or VectorWorks too, but occasionally.

I wish I knew more about how Quadros perform. But it may actually be better buying something like a second hand gtx 1060 or something. Maybe try and figure out via another post about GTX vs Quattro simply because a newer more high performance GTX card may perform better, AND be a solid gaming card if he wanted to play games.
