GTX 970/980 vs Quadro K2200

[506157189]

Hi I'm pretty new here

 

I'm thinking of building a PC, on the issue of graphics card, I have no idea which benchmark/test to look at when it comes to comparing graphics cards rendering ability and stuff. I game very little, so I'm not sure which of the two is better in terms of mostly graphics designs etc

 

thanks

Quadro is not for gaming, and i'd say if you're really into design and stuff, get the quadro, but "game very little" is not the same as "not game at all" so you might wanna get a 980 for very good design/render/etc performance and to be able to play whatever you want at a nice quality.

If you game at all get a 980 
If not or you plat less demanding games get the k2200

I'd go for the 970 or 980.

 

If SLI'ing two 970s would improve rendering speed, then go for that over a 970. (if within budget, otherwise get a 980)

Quadro is not for gaming.

You can still play less demanding games on it

It depends on what kind of graphics design work you do and what software you use.  In programs that use double-precision, the GTX 980 will be limited to 1/32 of its normal performance, which will probably drop it well below the Quadro K2200 in performance.  The Quadro will only have an advantage in double-precision workloads though, so not all professional/workstation applications will run better on the Quadro than the 980, only some.

As you might already know, the Quadro cards are specifically made for things like graphic designs, while the Geforce cards are more oriented to a consumer based used.  The quadro cards will used less power, have a lower heat output and will have double precision floating point capabilites. 

The Quadro is obviously more expensive but you should theorically get "better" results when using professional grade applications. The card itself is more reliable because the of the quality being previously controlled by Nvidia itself (not some 3rd party company) 

 

Obviously, you can still do 3d modeling and gaming on both, they just do a better job one or another. The quadro would be the right choice if you actually working with these professional grade applications as a job. The geforce is fine if you're doing it for fun.

Quadro for gaming.LoL,ha...haa....hahahahaaha.

Obviously 980! 970 for 1080p gaming.

 

Wrong thread? That wasn't the question at all here...

If you wanna argue just to argue do it, but you gotta look for some1 else, i think you, and every1, understood what i said.
