Dat Octane render time. I would like see the difference between our 8x780Tis and 8x M6000s.

I've never seen a 10bit monitor in person. Is the difference noticeable?

It is, most in gradients. But sure, for home usage it's not necessary.

the only interesting thing from that review is this Quadro 374.52 driver

I'm not a fan of linus, but he's not bad 🙂 unlike most other people on youtube, he does his research for his videos and isn't biased as far as I know. He's great for the mid level geek who don't already know this basic stuff.

In my humble opinion, TTL from OC3D is the best, most knowledgeable and honest internet persona.

Nearly any GPU is capable of 10 bit colour, it was just artificially disabled in the drivers in the past. Quite some time ago AMD allowed enabling 10 bit colour on any card, then a good while later nVidia allowed it as well. I have 10 bit colour enabled right now (yes I have a 10 bit monitor). Too bad 99.9% of content that exists is 8 bit, and getting 10 bit content to display properly can take some work.

I have my R9 280x with 10-bit enabled, but not for Photoshop 🙁 http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=398434

Yea he is pretty good, but I got tired of sitting through nearly an hour long video for a PSU or a fan LOL :P He is good but he needs to do shorter content as 80% of the videos is him going over the exact same stuff. Linus WAS great in the past, he has become too commercialised now. His channel has grown so big in such a short time that he has HAD to expand (moving 3 times in the past two years is pretty big, from his garage to a house now to a warehouse). The expansion was needed though as he got more people watching and he needed to branch out on content. Hence why he does videos for monitors, phones, cameras, etc. Instead of just pure PC hardware. Though I did fully enjoy the time TTL was on Linus's WAN show and dropped the F Bomb live on twitch. Linus's face was priceless!! 😀

This is why Guru3D really needs to stop advertising server hardware. It's cool stuff, but people here just don't understand it. This GPU isn't meant to play games, edit photos, or render your amateur animations. Obviously, it will do those things, but that's not why it exists.

Rather than dumbing down to cater for ignorance, I think it's better to provide information for those who are interested and hope that other people might learn something.

That's not what I meant, nor is that my point. Guru3D is largely focused on gaming and high-end workstation PCs. This Quadro is for high-end servers. It's an irrelevant product to readers of this website. That's like going to a website like edmunds.com (a site people to go when shopping for a new car) and seeing articles about excavators, cranes, and cargo trucks. That's where you'd get people saying stuff like "why would I spend $900k on a bulldozer and only get 5MPG!?"

I know I am. Some of the database applications I use for work use CUDA.

This card is a monster. Those sweet 24gigs will have a LOT of usage in many fields.

You're on some crusade to get rid of server content from Guru3D? People talk about things they know nothing about all the time. And even learn something in the process. But this should not happen on server topics? Whats so special about them?

No, I'm on a crusade to get rid of enterprise-level hardware from Guru3D, because it doesn't belong here. [Quote]People talk about things they know nothing about all the time. And even learn something in the process. But this should not happen on server topics? Whats so special about them? Because the difference is they'll never understand it until they see the application for themselves. Look through this thread (or any thread involving high-end server hardware) and you'll see people saying stuff like how "overpriced" it is, how well it'll run Crysis, or it's usefulness compared to other [workstation] counterparts. I'm not faulting these people for not understanding, because until you walk into a mainframe, you really have no idea how insignificant your home PC and it's workload is. The point is, readers here don't understand the value of products like this (and have no reason to) and they will never buy products like this. Advertising products like this for this website's demographic accomplishes nothing when they can't relate to it's usefulness. There is too much involved to educate the ignorant, and that's why this article doesn't belong here. If you're interested in this stuff and want to learn it, great. But there are other sources dedicated to that. But if you insist that articles like this are worth-while, where you do draw the line? There are other server products that are far more fascinating than a 24GB Quadro, but you don't hear about them here. You think a 48 hyper-threaded Xeon is powerful? There are 256 thread SPARCs. You think 4GHz is fast? There are PPCs that go beyond 5GHz, stock speed. You think 64GB of RAM is a lot? There are servers with 1TB. You think $3000 is a lot for a PC? There are others worth $3 million. But you don't hear about that here.

Main purpose of these comments being trolling, and trying to provoke reactions just like this. And luring out someone naive enough who then tries to educate them. That post with Linus video was simply perfect. Because it shuts down any further ignorance. And if the guy still does not understand the basics of Pro GPUs, and continues with stupid comments, then either he does not understand English language, or he's out in the open and fully trolling.

@schmidtbag My "can it run Crysis" was obviously a joke... and no, I don't personally know a lot about server hardware, but neither do I think that it's a problem to have such article from time to time even on Guru3D.

It's mainly aimed at workstations, NVidia got a different league of cards for servers, and there are people here on Guru3D that do use workstations, which also are used to work with photos among other things. Plus that every time NVidia and other companies raise the specifications on professional equipment their consumer products often follow the trend. So now you know why Guru3D posts news around some professional products while not posting about others.

The only reason this qualifies as a workstation GPU is because it has display connectors. Otherwise, it is pretty much a server GPU, because it isn't cost effective for workstation tasks. You don't need 24GB for photos, but you do need that much when handling large databases or scientific equations. The name "Quadro" is typically associated for workstations, but it is used in servers too. Same goes for names like "Xeon" or "FirePro". For the record - I have no problem with workstation hardware on Guru3D, because there are people here who use them. I'm surprised there aren't more Quadros, FirePros, and Xeons that are reviewed here.

Tesla's and Titan X's are used in servers. Quadros are mostly used in CAD setups and whatnot, we have several at my company although ours are ~$2500 models from like 5 years ago.

Teslas are pretty much designed for servers only. Titan X's can easily be used in servers but they work fine for desktop and workstations too (meanwhile, a Quadro would be a terrible value for desktop purposes). Titans are based on the GeForce driver, which as many people know, is not for workstations or servers. Again - doesn't mean you can't use them for servers, because they do make decent server GPUs.

No offense, but who are you to say that? I quite enjoy articles like this on Guru3d.

And you have every right to. But as stated before, articles like this don't cater to this website's demographic, and if server hardware is going to be mentioned, why is there so much left out? If this hardware was so relevant to Guru3D's readers, why do you think these companies don't send out review samples here? There are other websites I go to (including ones that review gaming hardware) with a smaller user-base that do get server-class review samples. It's not my website, so obviously I can't dictate what should go here. Though I too enjoy hearing about stuff like this, it isn't why I or others come here. Meanwhile, you don't go to serverwatch.com to get news about the latest Radeons and Celerons, because whether that interests you or not, that's not why you're there. Interesting isn't always relevant.
