As you can see, just from a hardware perspective, there is already going to be a difference in these two types of cards just from the binning and feature divergence at play here. That still does not explain the huge price difference in its entirety though, to understand the rest of the story we have to talk about the relationship between professionals that use these cards, developers that write the software for these professionals and the companies that develop the cards.
GPU manufacturers work closely with the people that develop software for professional applications such as Maya or 3DS Max. They work to optimize the relationship between the software and drivers so that maximum performance and stability can be achieved. This represents a big investment on the part of the GPU makers, who have to commit time and manpower to these projects. Those significant development costs must be recouped and the market for professional cards is much smaller than that of the general gaming and desktop computer market.
On top of this, there is usually round-the-clock support for users of these cards directly by the manufacturer. I want to be able to run Solidworks for school and have heard that it would likely not function that well. I really do not want to carry a workstation laptop to every class. What card would you recommend? After college I might not need workstation level graphics and If I could get something that would work for both gaming too it would be great.
Thanks for the quick reply. I could look at used cards too. I would be willing to spend more to ensure that. Thanks Akshat. Hello Akshat Verma, I am currently getting ready to head out to college for engineering.
I picked the MSI gl65 9sdk, which fit the laptop spec requirements at the time. Fast forward to now and a new spec requirement sheet was released, stating that the laptops should be fitted with a workstation dedicated graphics chip. Preferably the nVidia Quadro p -4gb gddr5. Do I need to get rid of this laptop and find a new one, or will this work fine? Hello, I need some help choosing a gpu for a build for the first time. Uses would be for light video editing on Lightworks and I also want to start learning DaVinci Resolve.
I also need it to learn Sketchup 3D modeling to do some basic home remodeling. Kids will use my pc at times for gaming so it needs that too. They play fortnite, steam, and minecraft. Other use would be internet browsing and watching Youtube. I am thinking of getting Ryzen 5 cpu. Would this be good or try something else? Thanks in Advance!!! Ryzen 5 is an excellent value for money CPU. My purpose is to get GPU power to do some advanced threat detection or building AI-based models which is linked to my Cyber Security profile.
I want a system that can run Solidworks for basic modeling, and motion studies, assemblies and such. I also want to be able to game on the system but only leisurely. Would you say this combination will suit my purposes? The combination is good. Thanks for the response! Hello Akshat I have been thinking that the rxxt and the radeon pro w have basically the same graphics processor and many specs also seem similar.
Is it possible to run the rxxt with the vbios of w The main reason behind this thought was that people are known to run rx with the rxxt bios on them and they surely work. Another question with this intercompatibility of bios of series is whether the w bios can be run on the rx or the rxxt because both are cheaper than the w Also to add upon this was that the w is about 2.
Thank you for your time. It is because both cards have different controllers, output ports, cooler, and PCB. Thanks Akshat for such a quick reply. I understood the case behind the bios thing.
Just one more question — is there a similar case with the w? Akshay Namste, I need speed in video rendering work and quality work output in video editing work. Cooler master liquid cooling for processor. Smps cooler master m2 pro w. Good morning Akshay, Performance and speed in video rendering work So I want to know which graphic card best for me Or any change in my pc system to improve performance and speed ,I am using pc for video editing and rendering work.
For video editing and rendering you need a better processor and for that you have to change your motherboard and RAM also. Hi Akshat Thanks for the article. Gaming PCs always come with very good cooling system. I am just wondering if a gaming PC will have the advantage over a workstation for heavy 3D rendering work, if both also have the same Quadro graphic card, processor and RAM? So, there is nothing like that. Akshay, Your suggestion will be useful in future to build new system.
But I need suggestion In my present pc system What can I do. Please reply Thanks. A graphics card upgrade is not going to help that much and you have to upgrade to a better processor.
With this motherboard board Which processor is suitable Or Can I use SLI through add one graphic card to improve result if yes so which graphic card add pl. I do not advise any processor for this motherboard. I suggest the Ryzen 5 processor with a good B chipset motherboard. Once again thanks for positive response. Here are the approximate prices:. When I am build new pc under your guidelines I want to use professional graphic card like, nvidia quadro p or amd workstation as near 30k.
From what I read the difference between gaming and professional graphics cards is not really performance but reliability of the hardware components. Is the statement broadly correct? Additionally, I believe it is software as well. If that is so, I am not able to find an article that provides a detailed analysis of the differences — both for NVidia and AMD.
If you or another author has done an in-depth review, could you please share the link? One thing in particular I am exploring is the ability to share the card across many VMs.
Could you shed some light on this? Well it is both the stability and performance but if we compare a similarly priced gaming and workstation card then the gaming card will offer better performance most of the time but we cannot guarantee stability.
You can check out this article that compares performance of various workstation cards in different software. If you have choice between all of them which one would you pick? If you have a choice between 1 and 3? If you have choice between 1 and 2? I am wondering is it better to go with Dell Precision because there are more optimized for performance , they have Dell Optimizer which is a built-in, AI-based optimization software, ISV certification to ensure that high-performance applications run smoothly, more energy efficiency etc.
I would appreciate your opinion. Wich one would be better? If the Quadro is better, would the difference be noticeable since the Quadro is twice as expensive. For purely workstation purpose, I think it is better to go with the Quadro P as it will perform better. Need some help with the gpu. Not sure which way to go. They are generally more expensive than desktop Vid cards coz few of them are sold, and the cost of designing and engineering the cards had to be distributed to each card, They are not worth it if you aren't gonna do major work with them.
May 17, 0 19, Probably the biggest difference between workstation cards and desktop cards are the drivers. Workstation cards have drivers that are of higher quality and are highly optimized for workstation programs. Workstation cards also often have better warranties and Nvidia and AMD offer a greater level of tech support in terms of bug fixes for the drivers.
Unfortunately workstation cards are quite a bit more expensive, and also don't offer as much performance per dollar as desktop cards. Since it doesn't sound like you will be doing extensive work with inventor you may just want to get a desktop card and use the money you saved on a better CPU.
Oct 30, 32, 9 99, 4, Workstation cards generally have higher quality control, optimized drivers, longer warrantees and better support. I'd get a desktop nVidia card The majority of desktop cards don't have CUDA unlocked wud kinda cut down on the more expensive Quadro card sales which you can take care of by unlocking yourself.

This leads to fewer errors and issues for the end-user.
In addition, workstation video cards often utilize different software drivers than consumer graphics cards. These differences lead to better optimization to meet the stricter demands of professionals and content creators. When choosing a video card for a workstation system, keep the above five considerations above in mind to speed up your decision making process. Consider the amount of memory required, the best GPU that suits your needs, the GPU level of performance you need, number of monitor outputs, and whether you need a workstation- or consumer-grade card.
