Has anyone ever seen any evidence about the difference between Quadro and GeForce? I’ve read through all of the white papers describing the “differences” between a Quadro and a GeForce card [1]. Approaching it as a skeptic, this paper seems written by the Quadro marketing team. Most of the claims made about the quadro are also true about the geforce - for example, just the first one says that the quadro supports anti-aliasing in hardware, but then so does geforce. Consider the Quadro P4000, retailing for $799 vs. the 1080ti at $749 Architecture: both are pascal chips Clock rates: titan is 1536MHz, pascal is 1202MHz Memory width: titan is 352-bit, pascal is 256-bit Memory Bw: titan is 484MBps, pascal is 243MBps CUDA cores: titan 3584 cores, pascal is 1792 cores Both support G-sync, directX 12, Vulkan API, OpenGL 4.5 ,. Both support up to 4 displays, both support 4K and 5K displays. I've even looked at rendered images side by side and I cannot see any difference ... the only thing I can tell is that its a different profit center for nVidia.

From the article: ... bring outsiders with no experience onto teams to keep creativity and innovation on track. When experts have to slow down and go back to basics to bring an outsider up to speed, "it forces them to look at their world differently and, as a result, they come up with new solutions to old problems." Wow. Isn't this what Universities have been doing for hundreds of years? Its almost like academics understand this concept or something.
