GRIZZLY Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 Yep this thread should be deleted, but i do have a question This graphics card http://www.nvidia.com/object/product_quadro_fx_4800_us.html And this graphics card http://www.nvidia.com/object/product_geforce_9800_gx2_us.html Why is one better than the other for gaming?

Master Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 The second one, although i have never seen anyone use a Quadro for gaming. They are used for graphic's, animation, and so forth. Although i would love to seen what the FPS on any game would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RetiredTacos Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 I looked at Terry china chic again, take that off by the way it's distracting. That website tinypic you can upload a picture without having an account thank god, now it's too big I give up. Delete this whole thing LMAO grizzly.... I can see all the big pics you posted fine. Do you have some questions or just showing us your new shit? BTW the "product key" at the bottom is not your cd key, you don't have to blank that out lol. Thats just the identification for your particular OS. Anyway for this picture http://i50.tinypic.com/hs556u.png Yes i can make mine look like that, thats the new resource monitor on the left. Your CPU is the same as an i7 920. 2.67 ghz with turbo mode on and 8 CPU threads, descently fast but the X5550 was very expensive and the i7 920 was only 280ish. Hopefully you didn't get jewed and pay 1k for the X5550. For graphics cards, quadro sucks, it's not made for gaming, more $ doesn't mean better.

GRIZZLY Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 Terry previous pictures were for scout, trying to solve something. Processor doesn't matter since there's 2, my question was the graphics cards. Quadro sucks for gaming, ok. Elaborate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bort Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 (edited) ouch I hope you didn't buy that quadro for gaming. As for the difference: quadros and GeForces are essentially identical. However, NVIDIA knows the following things: - businesses have more money than consumers - businesses have retards in charge of their IT budgets who can be convinced of practically anything So NVIDIA purposefully limits the capabilities of the cards with DRIVERS to make it appear that Quadros are better suited for business applications and GeForces are better suited for gaming applications. And it charges a premium for the Quadros b/c they are for "business". ... yet another reason I have given up on NVIDIA.

GRIZZLY Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 I bought this card at the time for everything/anything, there is no budget either. The link on Tom's hardware shows a gaming card used for workstation applications, surprised at the difference in grading. Searched for a quadro on gaming test, no find yet.

What other reasons other than the ones tomidontknowshitabouthardware.com gives, does nvidia suck? Have you compared a ATI workstation card to a ATI gaming card?

GRIZZLY Posted February 1, 2010 Author Share Posted February 1, 2010 tomidontknowshitabouthardware.com Didn't come up Terry, but if you remove that first I space the words out and Google it, you know where it goes..... Personally I don't care about the brand, but I did go to a website called futuremark and play around with some of their programs. I downloaded a program called 3dmark06 and ran it, pretty neat. Seems to be similar to the counter strike video test, just longer and at the end they give you all these great numbers that don't mean squat to me. They compared them to the fastest computer to run this program, basically telling me that is not the fastest. Then I tried an online program within futuremark called game-o-meter, it's under the online benchmark tabs. Sounds pretty simple to do, run this program to find out if a particular game can run on your configuration. Interesting results- Maybe this game-o-meter isn’t very accurate but it’s telling me with my current configuration I can’t play a game that I’m 40% from completion, far cry/2 and crysis don’t run into problems either. The REAL reason why I am asking is if there is a + to changing the card to I can see the game better, I would do it. My sight is not the greatest, so any advantage is very helpful. I understand there is a big dollar difference, but I can’t believe it’s just for extra support or a different driver. I also understand this is a gaming site, not wtfisthedifferencebetweenquadroandgraphicscards.com but googling it doesn’t get me anywhere either. Surprised nobody has toyed with the idea of using a graphics card not designed for gaming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bort Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 the other reasons nvidia sux is b/c (1) i have gone thru four Nvidia cards that have died after about 6 months to a year. and (2) this.. (don't believe it's a big problem, google "nvidia blurry" and its like the third result Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRIZZLY Posted February 1, 2010 Author Share Posted February 1, 2010 Part 1 easy Part 2 ok, pictures make it understandable Part 3 eh? skip part 3 Part 4 I'm f@$cked I googled nvidia blurry, some ticked of people out there I also googled ATI sucks and guess what Terry, it took me back to tomidontknowshitabouthardware.com http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/76434-33-sucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised nobody has toyed with the idea of using a graphics card not designed for gaming. LMFAO.....you crack me up grizzly. Yeah 3Dmark is a very advanced tool to compare CPUs,video cards, memory, all that good stuff. That game o meter is retarded lol. Most people do not use quadro for graphics because. 1. Quadro costs ALOT more 2. There is no performance gains in games, only applications (3d design shit) Visually there is no difference and if you are happy with the PERFORMANCE of it, then do not upgrade or buy anything. You will not see things clearer, boobs will not be less pixely, and bad guys will not look scarier.
