Price

• To be determined

 

The card itself is  identical to the GTX Titan X. It carries the same GPU with 3072 CUDA cores, packs 12 GB of GDDR5 memory which runs over a 384-bit memory interface, and has a peak SP performance of 7 TFlops and peak DP performance of 0.2 TFlops. The Maxwell GPU's clock speed is a little different, with this one running at 988 MHz and boosting at up to 1114 MHz if the thermal headroom is available.

Physically, the card comes with a backplate and a different color scheme, and the power connector is placed at the back of the card rather than on the side.

Any clues on what the price will be?

 

EDIT: the more I look at the power connector, the stranger it becomes

[Victorious Secret]

So its a great card for a lot of work related things and if you need stellar DP performance you were headed towards Teslas or the FirePros anyways. 

[Tim Drake]

This looks awesome, I wonder how well it games too.

[Real_PhillBert]

Interesting use of the Titan cooler. I havent seen that before. 

[ShadowCaptain]

so why not just buy a titan x

[KungPaoChino]

SMH Nvidia putting backplates on the quadro but not on the titan x... 

 

scumbag nvidia

[Tim Drake]

so why not just buy a titan x

THIS ONE LOOKS BETTER YEEEEHAW MURICA

[Real_PhillBert]

so why not just buy a titan x

Probably for the drivers optimized for a quadro's primary function.

 

This would probably be a killer CAD machine card.

It's probably a $4-5000 card...

seems bullshit you cant just install that software on the titan x

[Tim Drake]

Titan X is $999. I miss your point?

[Victorious Secret]

Largely BS. With Quadro and Tesla cards you're paying for the support more than you're paying for the card. The knowledge that the card isn't going down and if it does, someone is gonna be there 24/7 365 to assist with anything. 

 

Its BS, but its a well established law of BS. Places that can outright afford Quadros and Teslas don't care, people who need "budget" rendering cards are willing to play fast and loose.

More money to play with.

[Real_PhillBert]

You can but people who are interested in this type of card wont do that, they will buy the real quadro for the validation, and support.

Thats fair enough, I did not know they had extra support and stuff

[Victorious Secret]

Often as is the case with anything that is put into the "Business" category, you're paying more for the backend support and validation. 

Last time I got a Dell workstation laptop, it came with 5 years of onsite support and same day service (back when we still had a local Dell service centre). They do not play around when it comes to their business customers.

They shit on their "regular" consumers so they can go take care of the guys who are actually putting down big money for their services.

Yeah I paid £500 for like 2 years of next day business support for my alienware laptop, their support was INSANE

 

but I didnt know Nvidia provided that sort of thing in that case its pretty awesome

[D3MON]

i dont get it...
if you want single point performance a 970 is a far cheaper deal (or 290 even cheaper depending on hours usage), if you want dp performance you ...are stuffed. though i like the 8 pin placement.
did they have another internal communication error and put the backplate on the wrong cards btw???

[patrickjp93]

And differently optimized drivers and ECC. They also used to have double the memory, but now with the Titan cards it's the same amount of memory as the flagship.

[bimmerman]

There's a simple reason businesses will buy the pricey cards.

 

You want your engineer to be able to sit at their computer doing cad/cam work for 8+ hours continuously, 5 days a week, for 2-3 years of never turning the computer off, because that's how you make your money. When the engineer's time (note: not the same as their wage) is worth $200+/hr to internal/external clients or to their project, any downtime whatsoever is unacceptable. Quadros/Firepros are worth their extra cost for being able to run issue-free continuously with stellar support for years.

 

These cards aren't meant for consumers, because consumers don't stress their computers nearly as much as professionals will. Gamers are a niche use case so they get some of the pro-grade trickle down parts (Titan, i7, etc).

 

Having tried to run pro software on gamer hardware....the cost is easy to justify. I don't do as much CAD as I used to nowadays, and trying to run it on a computer without a workstation card is painful.

[Deletive]

so why not just buy a titan x

ECC Ram and Certifed drivers. probably higher colour bit rate too.

[AxelRantila]

Only a single 8-pin for power          Damn, Maxwell sure is an efficient architecture!

i dont get what youre not getting

quadro's are business and enterprise/professional grade cards with special validations and all that, which make it worth buying over a geforce card.
