You know for a shitty reference card, the performance is better than any other card out there. Thoughts?

Who the fuck even is Quadro and why are their cards so expensive? Do they plate them in gold or some shit?
>>341746410
Its for video editing and rendering dumbass.
>>341746410
Might be wrong but I think those are the CAD/"Workstation" gpus. Shit for gaming, great for rendering and design work. Or is that Quattro? Fuck.
>>341746410
Pretty much, they are that expensive because people and organizations that buy them can afford them
>>341746410
they're architect build video cards. The drivers + hardware is built completely different than that of a gamer's card. Gaming is supposed to render polygons as fast as possible. A quadro is designed to render single frames with thousands of passes for perfect percision + effects. They're professional cards for Autocad designers.
Can they run high-end vidya? yes.

Well, they have some features that are not present in typical consumer grade, but these features are not worth the price
>>341746657
not true. The architecture of the Quadro cards are totally different. Why would you have a GPU for 24gb vram when there is no gpu powerful enough to support it, unless the gpu itself has the capability of processing that, only that games arent optimized to run these cards efficiently. Hence the super expensive but shitty performance for games.
>>341746969
lol, that's fucking retarded. no game needs this much vram. even modded skyrim with the highest res textures doesn't need this much.

Shit feels bad man. I really have a boner for ultra wide monitors but buying a 34 inch 3440x1440 monitor, 1080 gtx and 6700k with new MOBO/RAM would cost me around $1500. Hard to justify a $1500 jump from 1080p/60 fps. FeelsJewMan.
I really really want to upgrade but the 1080 is literally never in stock.
How hard is it to make those fucking things?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
LITERALLY KEKED.
>>341746410
They are professional grade GPU's for workstations. They aren't meant specifically for gaming and more for AutoCAD and rendering models.
>>341745739
It's not like the aftermarket cards are much more powerful. Some 5%. Add a few extra % if you're MSI/ASUS and send reviewers cards with a modified bios to make the card run at higher clocks.
>>341745739
Those numbers don't mean anything.

Have you never been in a build thread? Have you not seen how retarded people here really are?/g/ is luffin at /v/, lads.
>>341747549
No game needs 24 gigs of VRAM, but if you took one second and thought that maybe somebody uses computers to actually make the games you fucking play you would realize that if you run out of ram while rendering a scene you can end up fucked so having a lot of VRAM is important, and that's only one such example of when large amounts of VRAM is required.

When that day comes, that's a wrap for consoles altogether. For that price, you double to power of any console. I've had that card for about a year now and I don't see this being needing an upgrade for another 8 years at least. If you do 3D modelling, the CUDA performance boost is killer too.
>>341746410
Those are for workstations that do 3D medical simulations or modeling and so forth.
>>341752065
Why the fuck does only MSI have backorder options?
I really want an EVGA FTW edition card, but no backorder or preorder or anything.
Why?
>>341745739
If this infograph is accurate, then there is absolutely no reason to buy a 1080 since the 1070 is the much better graphics:dollar value proposition.
I have a GTX980 and the only game that gives me trouble is Arma 3, and that's not because my specs are inadequate, it's mostly because your framerate is locked to the maximum output framerate of the server you play on.
Apparently ARK is also very taxing, but I have 0 interest in that Early Access survival garbage.
>>341751116
Well, the Titan X is for gaming, so you are technically wrong.
>>341753956
>If this infograph is accurate
It's not. It's a shitty synthetic test.
1080 is ~20% faster than 1070 in games.
>>341753431

480 does ti numbers for 200 dollars bro.

>in two weeks can get a nice 1080p 144hz gsynch monitor
>can coast along until it's time to upgrade to the 1080ti whenever it finally comes out
What a time to join. Only reason I'm getting that 970 is because it's, again, under $200, and it's only meant to tide me over until Q4. 480 looks really nice for its budget, it really does, but I'm in this for that g-synch 120hz ultra long game. 480 by itself for the same price won't be as tantilizing (let alone not fucking existing yet and instantly selling out once it does).

Huh. I'm still finding it for like $300+ everywhere.
>>341755030
Well hell, if it comes around August and there's no word, I'll just get the no-longer-out-of-stock 1080 aftermarkets and coast along it anyway. I'm saving a lot more money with this 970.
Don't expect to get a deal as good as I have, though. Most places will still charge at minimum $280 or so. Still, since I'm not able to wait much longer than two weeks from now thanks to a dying laptop, I cannot afford to wait for the 480.
>>341755515
The lowest I've seen for the 970 is $270, so I'm not sure where that guy got under $200 from.

What are these people fucking smoking? Soon enough they'll be midrange at best. How the fuck do I upgrade my ancient fucking piece of shit 670 when everything is always out of stock or an overpriced piece of shit at $600+ ($800 in fucking joke Canadian dollars fuck my life).
Even fucking clowns on craiglist and ebay want $500+ for their used 980s.

It says $450 on that chart. Where do you see 600?
>>341755973
It can say whatever the fuck it wants, Amazon, Newegg, Tigerdirect, etc... still have it at $600+.
>>341755808
It's a secret to everybody.
>>341755529
Literally any card I could get would be an improvement over my 6970, but that thing still serves me well enough for now.
I just want to get my better card before August so I can take it to college with me, so I think I'll just be grabbing a nice EVGA 1080 FTW as soon as they're in stock.
>>341756163
I'm actually about to bite the bullet and buy this.
Don't know if I can pass up a 980 Ti for $440.
>>341756139
You're looking at the overpriced EVGA LE edition. The price of that one went up for some reason. It was $600 a year ago, now it's $650.
>>341756163
Worth the money
I'm still going to get the $300 cherry picked RX480 8GB. Its a worthy upgrade over my HD6950 reference
>>341756163
feels bad being a canada fag today.
>>341756385
I should say so. 6 series was a budget version of the 5 series. Pretty profound performance difference, I imagine.
>>341756385
The only GPU worth the upgrade from my HD6970 was the R9 390X but the RX 480 8GB has far better power consumption which means its better for crossfiring down the road
should I get a stock 1080 from EVGA or wait for the NEVER EVER EVER in edition from FTW

>>341756163
Good for you, meanwhile this will be the price for at least a year for us. It won't dip a cent below $600 even on "sales". I don't see them giving us American prices til this piece of shit is outdated by 2 generations.
>>341756163
>paying more for a 980 ti when you could be fucking patient and get a 1070 which is faster for cheaper
>>341756660
Yeah that's the point. My HD6970 has the potential to compare to the R9 270X but GCN is better supported.
The RX 480 8GB gives me the VRAM quantity and speed increase I need. The RX 480 is all around better and will bring back to maxing out all of my games.
I haven't played most of the 2013-2016 releases yet and the RX 480 will max all of those above 60fps. Its perfect
>>341756978
>$410 after the additional $30 rebate
Goddamn right for that price. 980ti does not fuck around (though it does really disturbing things from time to time). Running Overwatch completely maxed at 1920x1080 at 95fps avg. Was playing games from last generation totally maxed at 240fps avg. Great if you have a 120+ fps monitor or use VR.
tfw gonna be upgrading from 660 to 1070
I wish I could go back in time to when my 780 was a top of the line card
>>341757391
Do you think a 550w Gold PSU will handle it fine? Or should I aim for a 750w?
>>341746410
Quadro has a price tag like that because if you are the kind that buys it for it's purpose they usually custom build them for you to fit your form factor or your server racks.
>>341757335
They're about the same price already, and they perform roughly the same.
I'm still not entirely sure, I want to upgrade, but I want to wait until AMD shows off their shit.
They need to hurry the fuck up.

Not to mention the warranties on those things. I'm pretty sure you only get 1 replacement for the GTX980 and GTX Titan X.
>>341757242
pretty much
only way to make anything of yourself here is to deal pot or do CS/CE.
>>341746657
Quadro cards have slightly different hardware and a different firmware. Drivers also go through a different and much more robust certification process.
But the main thing you are buying with a quadro is support from nvidia.
>>341757524
Couldn't tell you. I use a 600w and haven't had any PSU related issues though.
>>341757714
Have you been living under a rock the past 4 months
>>341745739
>970 that much higer then then 390
Fucking what?
They are practically the same fucking card.
Only the fact that the 390 has 8gb memory over the 970 3.5 separates them and the 970 is still higher
>>341758351
Passmark heavily favors Nvidia.
>>341756631
Canada sucks to sell things to. I used to have to ship things to Canada all the time and I had to stop selling to Canadians altogether because of what a pain in the ass it was. It also costs a lot more to have to ship things to that stupid country (no offense) because of all those insane taxes and cost declarations along with the stupid customs inspections to give their own appraisals. Your govt needs to worry about increasing the population rather than just taxing the crap out of the few people that actually live there.

>>341760630
I want to see how much better than my 280x it is.
An anon put it well awhile ago when it comes to GPUs: Don't upgrade your GPU until you can get one that's 3x as powerful for under $450.
>>341760630
why are you so mad? you didn't buy amd did you
oh wait..
>>341760658
The regular 8GB 480's will be about $240. Overclocked 480's will be around $300.
And 480's aren't showing 980TI performance. 980GTX and 970GTX, but I wouldn't put it that far up. Maybe with the factory OC's it could, but you're looking at a $300 card. For just $70 more, you can get a 1070 that's over 980TI performance.
