75 WORK 25 GAMING CARD

[Archangle]

So as a college student I am going to build my first PC, with 1200-1300 budget, I cannot decide which graphic card I want consider the retarded high price of them right now. So with majoring 3D modeling in Rhino3D and rendering in v-ray and Blender, plus Photoshop and Illustrator. And besides that, I want to play video game with mid-high setting with 60 fps on my free time, the highest performance needed one I guess its PUBG and GTA V. Working ratio to gaming ratio is about 70 to 30.

 

With this saying, what will be a better option? Nvidia Quadro p1000 or GTX 1060 6GB.

 

P1000 right now cost me $320 ish and 1060 6gb cost about $350.

 

So my question is is P1000 worth for my need? Considering the price of buying a 1060 with $350 I think it just kind of too much. What do you guys think?

You might have some issues running games on a P1000 because of drivers. Unless your doing some serious work and really need the power, I would say getting a 1060 would be good.

of course the quadro, work first games comes after.

In gaming the P1000 is a LOT weaker, in Quadro certified applications (Adobe suite isn't, mind you) the P1000 can beat a 1080. 

 

Gaming wise, the P1000 is basically a GTX1050 with 4GB VRAM.

 

That said, I don't see any applications that would clearly benefit from a low end quadro like this. The raw horsepower advantage of the 1060 will suit you better.

I agree.

You can still overclock it to match its GTX equivalent.

Clock speed isn't the main difference. Again, the P1000 is a GTX1050, which is less than half as powerful as the 1060 6GB. Plus, like I mentioned, his workflows don't benefit from a Quadro because no CAD is involved and as a student, projects stay small.

Well in his case I'd go for a GTX 1050Ti and spend the extra dosh on pizza and hookers.

I'll make my own graphics cards, with blackjack and hookers~

Second hand 980 Ti :3

 

Seriously though it has great CUDA Acceleration, driver certification only makes sense on the utmost high end of workloads the way I feel about it.

I paid about $380 for my 1070 plus a little bit of tax. If OP waits a little but for prices to calm down (most 1070s are below $500, which is good) some more, he can get a 1070 for a decent price, especially since miners will be offloading them by truckload once Volta comes out.
