Quadro? Which one?

[bnjmnhns]

Hello so I'm building a heavy editing computer workstation for a company and i need to put a quadro in it, this computer is not going to be for gaming only editing with high resolutions and 3d modeling and i was looking at quadros but there were so many and coming from the geforce consumer grade cards i can't tell the difference other than the amount of vram they have, im planning to put a titan x also for the extra cuda core prosessing.

 

tl;dr i need help choosing a quadro.

k4200? its a good sweet spot unless you need a ton of money. I would also suggest getting a 5820k as its useful to have the extra cores.

K4000?

If you have the money why don't you look into a K6000. Avoid the K6000M due to the low FP64 compute performance unless it doesn't matter.

Here's a good place to start

Basically, get the best one you can afford.

 

Keep in mind, Quadro's can get SUPER pricey. Here's the top of the line Maxwell Quadro:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA0AJ35P6060&cm_re=quadro_m6000-_-14-133-586-_-Product

Brace yourself, it's $5900 USD.

 

If you're serious about rendering, I wouldn't look at anything under the K4200, or even K5200:

Although with these prices, a Titan X might simply be sufficient.

3k is too much i think im looking into the 700-1500 usd range and i don't know whats the best in that price range

What features does the Quadro have that you need and why wouldn't a GeForce be able to do it. Might save you a lot of money mate.

I second this. If you're running a true Workstation for editing and rendering, you'll use the extra cores by going with a i7-5820k or higher. You'll need to switch to LGA 2011, and possibly DDR4. While DDR4 isn't really much faster than DDR3, you might simply be unable to get a DDR3 motherboard for the 5820k.

color accuracy mostly and computing performance

I have a K4000 in my workstation, I belive the updated version (K4200) is about $800. I think the next step up is going to be just outside of your price range.

If your building a system like that it would be best to do It on the LGA 2011-V3 and get yourself a Zeon or i7 More cores

Ahh makes sense

[spyder]

If you have a ton of cash to flash, get the newest M6000

You must use DDR4 on lga 2011v3(unless you are running certian xeon's) as the memory controller is on the cpu.

ok ill look into that
