Hey community. Quick question. If I am using a system purely for video editing and cad work should I go with a more expensive quadro or dual gtx's. Something like a k4000 or two 980's

If no gaming whatsoever then a good quadro is the better option

RIG: I7-4790k @ 4.5GHz | MSI Z97S SLI Plus | 12GB Geil Dragon RAM 1333MHz | Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970 (1550MHz core/7800MHz memory) @ +18mV(Maxed out at 1650/7800 so far) | Corsair RM750 | Samsung 840 EVO 120GB, 1TB Seagate Barracuda | Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 (Closed) | Sound Blaster Z                                                                                                                        Getting: Noctua NH-D15 | Possible 250GB Samsung 850 Evo                                                                                        Need a console killer that actually shits on every console? Here you go (No MIR/Promo)

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

titan blacks? they are essentially quadro's but with good gaming performance 

 

quadro's will still be the best by far for rendering tho, its just a between option

Providing it's actually professional work a Quadro is the better option.

the quadro does not have the same amount of power as a 980, but it has better colors

I think this is the first time I have actually been able to recommend a Quadro on LTT! If you do not do gaming but do a lot of editing and cad work, the Quadro's are the way to go.

Quadro's are not even close to the performance per dollar of the consumer cards, but they do offer validation, accuracy, and reliability at levels that the consumer cards simply do not. That is why professionals use them.

I'm a mechanical engineer, I have a lot of experience with the various Quadro cards :)

 

I actually like them a lot.

A Quadro K4000 is a much lower end solution  even compared to a GTX card.

However there is validation, better color reproduction and plain more support and stability for workstation use. If that's what you need then even if it costs more you will want the Quadro.

Now, if we are talking about raw power and you just want a PC that can faceroll everything at rendering (acceleration) while keeping the price affordable, then just hook up two GTX cards and fasten your seat belt.

Two 980's will crush a Titan Black.
