Hello,

 

I have the chance to buy a Quadro RTX 5000, but the given part number (VCQRTX5000-EDU) brings up pages like this: https://www.pny.com/promo/professional/edu-promo

 

Do any of you know if the educational program cards are different than the standard production cards? I don't want to get something different from a standard card.

 

Thanks!

Screwdriver specs: Long, pointy. Turns things. Some kind of metal.

 

Main rig: 

i9-7900x | Asus X299-Prime | 4x8GB G-Skill TridentZ @3300MHz | Samsung 970 Evo 500GB | Intel 5400S 1TB | Corsair HX1200

 

unRAID server:

Xeon  E5-1630v4 |  Asus X99-E WS | 4x8GB G-Skill DDR4 @2400MHz | Samsung 960 EVO 250GB cache drive | 12TB spinning rust | Corsair RM750X

 

FreeNAS server:

AMD something-or-other | Asus prebuilt sadness | 8GB DDR3-1600 | 9TB magnetic storage | Potential fire threat

 

HTPC:

i7-4790 | GTX1650 | Dell Sadness | 12GB DDR3-1600 | Samsung 860 250GB | 1TB magnetic storage | James Loudspeaker SPL3 x2 | Corsair SF450

I can't say from experience, but I doubt that they would make a specific card for a promo.

According to the page it's just special pricing for educational institutes. Nothing different about the card.

That's what I would expect, but then why the special SKU? 

Still, thanks for the sanity check.
