1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:01,680
So you may be asking yourself,

2
00:00:01,680 --> 00:00:05,040
how on earth did Linus Tech Tips

3
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:08,600
get a hold of a Quadro M6000,

4
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:13,660
a $5,000 video card?

5
00:00:13,820 --> 00:00:18,850
And the answer to that is that I'm not going to tell you.

6
00:00:18,850 --> 00:00:21,510
It's all top secret and .

7
00:00:21,510 --> 00:00:24,560
No, but what I will tell you is,

8
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:36,580
but can it run crisis?

9
00:00:36,580 --> 00:00:38,300
Intel's Skull Canyon Nook features

10
00:00:38,300 --> 00:00:40,700
a sixth generation Core i7 processor

11
00:00:40,700 --> 00:00:42,220
and Thunderbolt 3.

12
00:00:42,220 --> 00:00:45,500
You can learn more at the link in the video description.

13
00:00:45,500 --> 00:00:47,620
But before I answer the age old question,

14
00:00:47,620 --> 00:00:48,940
let's see if we can't figure out

15
00:00:48,940 --> 00:00:52,080
exactly what makes a $5,000 graphics card

16
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,440
so freaking specialtastic.

17
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:59,440
I mean, it's got a GM 200 Maxwell architecture GPU on it.

18
00:00:59,920 --> 00:01:01,720
So you can't see it, it's on the other side,

19
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:03,360
but you go ahead and try, good for you.

20
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,500
That's like your effort over there.

21
00:01:05,500 --> 00:01:07,740
It's got 3,072 CUDA cores.

22
00:01:07,740 --> 00:01:10,480
It's clocked at somewhere around one gigahertz,

23
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:11,560
a little lower on the base,

24
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:12,760
a little higher on the boost.

25
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:14,120
It's got, ooh, look at this.

26
00:01:15,570 --> 00:01:17,330
Four DisplayPort outputs.

27
00:01:17,330 --> 00:01:19,530
So you can have four 4K displays running off it

28
00:01:19,530 --> 00:01:20,370
at the same time.

29
00:01:20,370 --> 00:01:22,870
Also there's lonely old DVI up there.

30
00:01:22,870 --> 00:01:24,930
It can also run VGA if you're into that sort of thing.

31
00:01:24,930 --> 00:01:26,190
Although I don't think too many people

32
00:01:26,190 --> 00:01:28,110
are running $5,000 graphics cards.

33
00:01:28,110 --> 00:01:31,230
Can't afford a monitor that was made in the last 10 years.

34
00:01:31,230 --> 00:01:34,450
In terms of, okay, you got SLI and sync connectors,

35
00:01:34,450 --> 00:01:35,810
as well as a stereo connector

36
00:01:35,810 --> 00:01:37,650
if you work in stereo 3D content.

37
00:01:37,650 --> 00:01:38,870
So that's pretty cool.

38
00:01:38,870 --> 00:01:40,570
And this is really exciting.

39
00:01:40,570 --> 00:01:41,410
Boom!

40
00:01:41,410 --> 00:01:43,230
The power connector is a single eight pin

41
00:01:43,230 --> 00:01:45,610
on the back of the card.

42
00:01:45,610 --> 00:01:46,530
Over there, yes.

43
00:01:46,530 --> 00:01:48,750
On the back of the card, my friends,

44
00:01:48,750 --> 00:01:50,930
which I guess is important if you're mounting it

45
00:01:50,930 --> 00:01:52,170
in a rack mount case,

46
00:01:52,170 --> 00:01:53,590
where there isn't always clearance

47
00:01:53,590 --> 00:01:55,690
for power connectors that come out the side,

48
00:01:55,690 --> 00:01:58,250
like is popular on desktop models.

49
00:01:58,250 --> 00:02:02,310
The more you know.

50
00:02:02,310 --> 00:02:05,380
But hold on a second, Linus.

51
00:02:05,380 --> 00:02:09,580
All of that sounds awfully similar to the Titan X,

52
00:02:09,580 --> 00:02:13,540
a graphics card that costs $4,000 less.

53
00:02:13,540 --> 00:02:13,900
I mean, okay.

54
00:02:13,900 --> 00:02:16,260
There's an HDMI port instead of DisplayPort.

55
00:02:16,260 --> 00:02:19,820
And like, it's got an extra power connector

56
00:02:19,820 --> 00:02:20,880
on a different spot,

57
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,360
but this one has like LEDs and .

58
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,640
What makes this better?

59
00:02:25,640 --> 00:02:27,980
Well, we missed one small detail.

60
00:02:27,980 --> 00:02:32,840
It has 24 gigs of GDDR5 memory.

61
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:34,540
And not only that,

62
00:02:34,540 --> 00:02:37,760
but that memory is capable of running in ECC mode

63
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,520
for like super, you know,

64
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,740
less chance of something going bad.

65
00:02:43,900 --> 00:02:47,260
Let's put it on a bench.

66
00:02:47,260 --> 00:02:49,060
Angels singing?

67
00:02:49,060 --> 00:02:52,140
Nothing, all right, fine.

68
00:02:52,140 --> 00:02:54,700
So maybe we get like lots of amazing options

69
00:02:54,700 --> 00:02:56,580
inside NVIDIA control panel,

70
00:02:56,580 --> 00:03:01,320
deciding how to use our GPU, you know.

71
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,380
We can view system topology.

72
00:03:04,380 --> 00:03:10,680
We can set up mosaic, which is like surround.

73
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:16,000
And we have a dedicated tab for changing the ECC state.

74
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:17,480
Hard to make this exciting.

75
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,460
Let's run a game.

76
00:03:20,460 --> 00:03:25,880
I'm methodically getting very high right now.

77
00:03:26,700 --> 00:03:27,860
Whatever, I didn't change anything.

78
00:03:27,860 --> 00:03:28,880
Screw off.

79
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:35,460
Let's do the crisis benchmark.

80
00:03:35,460 --> 00:03:37,690
So the benchmark's over.

81
00:03:37,690 --> 00:03:41,440
Prepare to be amazed and awed.

82
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:46,110
And I'm talking like, aw, not like aw.

83
00:03:46,110 --> 00:03:51,400
In crisis three, the Quadro M6000 scores 104 FPS.

84
00:03:57,340 --> 00:03:58,020
Is that even good?

85
00:03:58,040 --> 00:03:59,840
Yes, it is.

86
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,500
So we're back at it with the Titan X.

87
00:04:02,500 --> 00:04:05,480
And I have to confess,

88
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,370
this feels like a very similar experience.

89
00:04:08,370 --> 00:04:12,580
Okay, moment of truth time.

90
00:04:12,580 --> 00:04:14,860
105.5 FPS.

91
00:04:14,860 --> 00:04:16,420
Well, okay, then.

92
00:04:16,420 --> 00:04:17,740
But come on Linus.

93
00:04:17,740 --> 00:04:18,580
What were you expecting?

94
00:04:18,580 --> 00:04:21,780
Quadro cards aren't made for gaming.

95
00:04:21,780 --> 00:04:24,640
Well, truthfully, that's exactly what I was expecting

96
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,620
because while it is true that Quadro cards

97
00:04:26,620 --> 00:04:29,040
are not designed for gaming, I mean, the gaming performance,

98
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:36,330
of them is right on the spec sheet. The GPU, the clock speed it runs at, I don't know where this

99
00:04:36,330 --> 00:04:42,830
whole myth comes from, that quadro cards are meant for specific workloads and are not meant to game.

100
00:04:43,470 --> 00:04:51,470
And like, no, a GPU is a GPU. It just means that quadro cards are also made for other things.

101
00:04:51,710 --> 00:04:57,290
So let's have a look at some rendering benchmarks or maybe some, you know, high-end video production

102
00:04:57,290 --> 00:05:05,670
benchmarks and see if we can better justify its high price tag. Okay, so this is a Octane demo,

103
00:05:05,850 --> 00:05:12,620
a little outside my comfort zone in terms of products that I, oh, control Z. Okay, all good.

104
00:05:12,620 --> 00:05:24,800
Render target. There we go. So we're using, let's see, 1.6 gigs of memory and we are processing at

105
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,780
7.2 to 7.3.

106
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:39,460
Million pixels per second. Those pixels, I don't know what they are. Okay, well, I'm not going to sit here and watch this go for half an hour.

107
00:05:39,460 --> 00:05:46,150
So let's try something else before we put the Titan X back on. DaVinci Resolve. Let's watch some frickin' sharks.

108
00:05:47,540 --> 00:05:54,040
All right, we're getting about 12 frames per second with like denoising on and such.

109
00:05:54,680 --> 00:06:01,750
Again, presumably that is very good, but I don't know. That is very similar.

110
00:06:01,930 --> 00:06:02,430
That is...

111
00:06:02,470 --> 00:06:04,170
faster so far.

112
00:06:04,170 --> 00:06:05,430
That is...

113
00:06:05,430 --> 00:06:06,710
the same.

114
00:06:06,710 --> 00:06:12,510
But maybe DaVinci Resolve then. I want to see big FPS. Oh, now come on.

115
00:06:13,070 --> 00:06:19,110
That doesn't even make sense. No, that can't be right. Wow, that shark just like ate a fish.

116
00:06:19,590 --> 00:06:24,470
Okay, so DaVinci Resolve with our 6K footage on a 4K timeline

117
00:06:25,930 --> 00:06:28,790
performed much better on the Titan X. But of course,

118
00:06:29,530 --> 00:06:31,530
you could afford much more than one Titan X for the price of the Titan X.

119
00:06:31,530 --> 00:06:32,230
You could afford much more than one Titan X for the price of the Titan X.

120
00:06:32,230 --> 00:06:32,730
you could afford much more than one Titan X for the price of the Titan X.

121
00:06:32,730 --> 00:06:34,090
for the price of an M6000.

122
00:06:34,090 --> 00:06:37,810
Let's see if the story changes with more Titan Xs.

123
00:06:38,370 --> 00:06:40,020
Eight pin.

124
00:06:40,020 --> 00:06:41,460
Two.

125
00:06:41,460 --> 00:06:42,940
Six pin.

126
00:06:42,940 --> 00:06:44,710
Two.

127
00:06:44,710 --> 00:06:46,900
Dual Molex.

128
00:06:46,900 --> 00:06:49,300
Okay, I have used adapters.

129
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:57,100
Wait, what? Why is this not lighting up?

130
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:02,390
Is it working? Is like the light just unplugged? Did someone screw up and not plug in the light on this?

131
00:07:03,030 --> 00:07:05,890
Wait, no, this doesn't make sense, because this was my first one.

132
00:07:05,890 --> 00:07:06,310
Wait, no, this doesn't make sense, because this was my first one.

133
00:07:06,310 --> 00:07:09,110
How could that not be working?

134
00:07:09,230 --> 00:07:14,030
Whatever the indicator LEDs might seem to think all three video cards are showing up

135
00:07:14,030 --> 00:07:19,790
And we are not running an SLI because a I don't have a three-way SLI bridge handy and B

136
00:07:20,070 --> 00:07:23,390
Because that's really not the point of what we're doing. We are not looking at gaming performance

137
00:07:23,390 --> 00:07:29,150
We are seeing how the Titan X compares to the quadro in more quadro like applications

138
00:07:29,710 --> 00:07:31,710
three Titan X's is

139
00:07:31,730 --> 00:07:33,270
much faster

140
00:07:33,270 --> 00:07:36,000
Wow, that's scaling though. Look at that

141
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:40,860
It's estimating that it's only gonna take about 11 minutes to finish this scene

142
00:07:40,860 --> 00:07:44,880
Of course, I still don't have 11 minutes because WAN Show started 28 minutes ago

143
00:07:45,460 --> 00:07:47,460
Let's fire up resolve and see how that does

144
00:07:48,100 --> 00:08:06,160
You've got to be kidding me. I think that would have worked. I think we had all three GPUs engaged

145
00:08:06,780 --> 00:08:10,800
But we just triggered over current protection. I mean

146
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:15,260
The truth of the matter is that none of this really affects the conclusion anyway

147
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,440
Why does the quadro M6000 cost five?

148
00:08:20,180 --> 00:08:22,280
$5,000 in the olden days

149
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:29,360
I would have told you that it's for its fp64 double precision compute performance because prior to the m-series

150
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:33,800
That would have actually been true it performed more like a Tesla in that regard

151
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:38,660
But these days it actually performs just like a g-force there too with

152
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:44,600
1 32nd of the performance of what you can expect in fp 32 computations

153
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:49,160
so if you were say for example doing financial analysis or some kind of

154
00:08:49,560 --> 00:08:52,900
Physical modeling you wouldn't choose one of these either

155
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:53,800
No

156
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:58,020
my friends the quadro M6000 the reason that NVIDIA and PNY both

157
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:03,980
Refused to send one to me even though I explained that I was gonna explain all this that they're not for general consumers

158
00:09:03,980 --> 00:09:07,100
they're not for gaming in fact, they're not even for this the purpose of these is

159
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:16,760
simple if you need to render scenes that require more than the amount of memory that you'll find on a consumer-grade graphics card you

160
00:09:16,940 --> 00:09:19,320
Will need to buy one of these so let's say for

161
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,420
example your

162
00:09:21,420 --> 00:09:26,780
Pixar or you're working on the Angry Birds movie or whatever the case may be if you are anyone else

163
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,540
then you would be better served by a

164
00:09:30,260 --> 00:09:33,700
Bunch of these and like a lifetime supply of M&Ms

165
00:09:33,700 --> 00:09:38,740
And maybe throw in a power supply that doesn't trip the OCP when you try to actually engage all of them

166
00:09:39,540 --> 00:09:41,700
So that's pretty much it then

167
00:09:42,220 --> 00:09:44,500
