My father's workstation GPU just died and he needs a new one. He's just using it for AutoCAD 3d 2016. Old one was a quadro4000 and the CPU is a Xeon w3680.
I have no clue about workstation GPUs, so which should I buy? I don't really care about the brand.

another quadro
don't be a dumb gamershit and recommend something like a geforce or radeon card.
let me take a guess, you're the family "techie" that doesn't really know anything about technology?

How'd you come to this conclusion? I do know my shit, but workstations ain't it. I know that I shouldn't use a consumer card, but I explicitly asked about workstation GPUs.
Ergo fire pro or quadro. But I wonder about which model to choose. It's nit like you need a high end card for AutoCAD, right?
Buy a newer quadro. This isn't rocket science, OP.

/g/ is not your personal tech support board, and especially not your personal proxy tech support board.

servers, then? helping your underage cousins building minecraft computers doesn't equal knowing your shit
>It's nit like you need a high end card for AutoCAD, right?
not if your dad only draws dog houses
it depends entirely on what he does
you don't need to be some hero from the sky, so just buy a new quadro that's slightly more powerful so it at least won't be worse than before unless he explicitly said he needed more power

Compared to solid works and other high computation stuff, yes.

Get him a 1080

Yea, fuck off.

OP, you might not have noticed, but we're kinda angry with you.
At least use >>>/g/sqt
just get a new Quadro that fits his budget
probably going to be better than the old one anyway
>>55407464

> choose a card that meets or exceeds said requirements and falls within your budget
How the fuck can you claim to know your shit if this has not occurred to you..?
Budget is important here, i recommended another quadro so just plug play and werks.

Pro duo. Has the best compute performance for anything up to $4000
>>55407431
if you care about money, look up the Quadro 4k's performance(benchmarks) and buy something with comparable performance. Shouldn't be too expensive since it's probably an old card
Firepro w9100 if you want absolute overkill
Quadro M4000 for good performance to cost
Quadro M2000 if you're on a budget

>recommending amd graphics

Even the K6000 beat the W9100s performance, let alone the current M6000. And that's not even bringing drivers into the question.
>>55407431
Just buy a second hand workstation from ebay for about $150 with the same quadro he's using or a better one, and slap it into his workstation. Job done.

Sell your computer OP, and outsource it to india

the difference with amd and nvidia
AMD is for high performance computing needed for real work.
Nvidia is for Hipsters and Faggots who design 3d furryporn and other faggy stuff
