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.
