![]() This confirms my thoughts on the comparison, and then some. Thank you SO much for your expertise, and time you gave on this. Or a refurbished TITAN Z going for $800 currently (as i mentioned the Z is two TITAN BLACK's put together) Here's a used original GTX TITAN for auction currently at ~$300 bidĪnd here's a TITAN BLACK superclocked (newer version of the original, quite a bit better) for $600 and even full price the TITAN Z is about $1,400-1,500 and it is actually TWO of the GTX TITAN put together on one card, so you would have the fastest rendering/editing card in the world with one of the TITAN Z's. ![]() You can now find original TITAN's for $400-500 on ebay easy, and TITAN BLACK's can still be found in places for ~$700-750 used or open box etc. The TITAN series cards were actually the most powerful Quadro card that Nvidia planned to make, but they turned out to also be very good for gaming so they decided to sell them for $1,000. If you plan to do video rendering and editing professionally though, and your time is money essentially and if you can afford to splurge a bit i would reccomend that you get the Nvidia Geforce GTX TITAN BLACK or if you can find one used or on sale get the TITAN Z. Not to mention if you plan to do ANY, and i mean ANY!!!! gaming at all then the 980 is definitely the card you want. ![]() Overall the GTX980 will run after effects and whatnot at least slightly faster than the Quadro, probably around 10-12% faster, 5-6% at worst even if you got the weakest 980 there is, and due to the cheaper price it would be a better deal. You'll see that the Quadro loses in every single category regarding specs, it has ~1,300 cuda cores vs ~2,000 on the 980, it's more expensive, has less of several of the various texture/graphics/rendering etc. Go with the GTX980, yes the Quadro's are the cards specifically designed for workstation editing and stuff, but the GTX980 is made with the new Maxwell architecture which means it's more efficient, uses less power, and has better specs. On Nvidia's site, the quadro series are considered the professional level cards-ie: better than GeForce level cards. I have been looking at the nvidia quadro k4200 as a good upgrade from what I currently have.īut I just saw the GeForce GTX980-and the specs are better-and it's cheaper! Anyone who would disagree is just a shill.I am a professional video editor who uses Premiere CC and After Effects. Pure greed and crap engineering by the NVidia people who know they can shaft you if you want to do complex math ( like add and subtract ) with circa 1988 math in FP64 bits. Even worse you need a special license and driver to use a GV100 if you own one and NVidia jams you again. That is why the Keplar worked great and then the FP64 was taken away and hidden. The gamers don't give a damn because they just want pixels on the screen but anyone doing real work gets jammed hard for maximum dollars. As soon as NVidia figured out they could jam people for big money the FP64 capability suddenly went away and everything after the Keplar was sold as brain damaged. Everyone on the planet can do addition and subtraction and other operations with 64 bit floating point and it has been that way for well over 25 years. So the ability to do IEEE754 math like the year 2008 and the original 1988 specification was removed. NVidia figured out that scientists and engineers can be jammed for massive dollars and thus the NVidia folks simply de-tuned and killed the FP64 capability on everything they sold EXCEPT for stuff that they can sell for $10,000 and up.
