Hi there,

 

Since someone stole my laptop last week I am looking into building a desktop PC. This is my first PC build so I don't have anything to build off, so I don't have a GPU... Since the only gpu that are reasonable priced are quadro cards I am thinking of first buying a quadro and later a geforce. A quadro is also nice since I would also like to use my PC as a workstation(CAD but also some ML) for some occasional gaming, mostly sim racing. Would it be possible to integrate a quadro and a geforce or radeon card into the same system. Not necessarily using them simultaneously, however that would be nice. For example something like a quadro P2000 combined with a RTX 30 series is what I am thinking of.

 

Thanks in advance!

The quadro P2000 has less cuda cores than a GTX 1060 3GB, and checking eBay it seems the price is definitely not cheap.

 

Which quadros are you comparing to which geforce cards exactly? how much cheaper are you seeing the quadros?

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

How many watts do I need?

Welcome to the forums!

First, what's your exact budget? 

You can't combine cards of different series, drivers are eugh. 

Plus you'd get more performance for CAD from a 30 series card than a P2000.

I'd say get a Radeon pro w6600, they are $500, in stock and are between 3060ti/3070 in gaming and are better for CAD.

What the horse considers play, the monkey considers business...

But to Tom, it's all foolery. 

 

 

 

 

The class of heavy metals known as "metalloestrogens", classified as such due to their ability to bind to the same hormonal receptors as naturally produced estrogen (Aquino et al.), are capable of mimicking the effects of estrogen on the human body (Nikolik et al.). Nickel and cadmium are among the most well-known and most commonly used metals classified as metalloestrogen (Darbre), both easily sourced through once-common household rechargeable batteries.

Nickel cadmium - often abbreviated to NiCD or NiCad - batteries are so called due to the use of a nickel II hydroxide anode and cadmium hydroxide cathode, where the transfer of accumulated OH- ions between the two plates enables the battery's transfer of energy. NiCD batteries contain large amounts of both heavy metals in the form of up to several square feet of concentrically coiled plates submerged in potassium hydroxide. Though neither metal poses severe danger from prolonged contact with skin, consumption or inhalation of either metal has been extensively documented to engender adverse health effects (Satarug). 

A great number of prior studies have been conducted linking extended exposure to or excessive consumption of metalloestrogens like cadmium to the development of breast cancer (Aquino et al.) - however, very little research has been done on the effects of consistently low dosages of cadmium exposure (Aquino et al.). Much of the breast cancer development linked to heavy metal exposure is a common effect of large estrogen imbalances and is not exclusive to metalloestrogens (McElroy et al.). Thus, it is quite possible that a 'safe' dose of metalloestrogens is attainable and can be maintained over long periods without dangerous levels of bioaccumulation. 

Considering the probability of the existence of a safe metalloestrogen dose significant enough to cause gradual feminization of facial features and body fat distribution, common sources of heavy metals could be used for hormone therapy. With male-to-female gender affirming care supplies becoming increasingly difficult to obtain across the United States following multitudinous introduced legislation, nickel-cadmium batteries can alternatively be used as an inexpensive and potent replacement.

I am basing my choice on this chart from 2018 where linus compares these graphics cards for 3D modeling & design. Here you can see that a P2000 performs almost 3x to a GTX1060. I can get a P2000 for about 300 euro or less. Also the radeon pro W6600 card is costs 770 euro for me and what are you basing the performance compared to a 3060ti/3070 on? When I am looking at GPU benchmarks it performs not even close to a 3060ti/3070. My budget would be about 2000 euro which I am not going to spend on GPU's which cost 2x msrp.

If you don't strictly need a video output (ie b/c you have an APU) you may want to consider a second hand Tesla.

 

It is a rather convoluted solution though.

Quadro and GeForce in the same system is a no-go as the drivers conflict:

Quadro and Radeon would likely have a better outcome. That said, the software you use with the Quadro will need to support selecting a target GPU for acceleration.

Could you explain? I have heard tesla a few times, but what are they?

This radeon pro w6600 is looking like a pretty good card for my application. Except for me it's 757 euro's. Could you please show me where you base "are between 3060ti/3070 in gaming" on.

Another possibility would be a pro w5700 or wx 8200 for 480 euro's. What do you think?
