WEBVTT 00:00:00.280 --> 00:00:01.680 So you may be asking yourself, 00:00:01.680 --> 00:00:05.040 how on earth did Linus Tech Tips 00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:08.600 get a hold of a Quadro M6000, 00:00:08.600 --> 00:00:13.660 a $5,000 video card? 00:00:13.820 --> 00:00:18.850 And the answer to that is that I'm not going to tell you. 00:00:18.850 --> 00:00:21.510 It's all top secret and . 00:00:21.510 --> 00:00:24.560 No, but what I will tell you is, 00:00:24.560 --> 00:00:36.580 but can it run crisis? 00:00:36.580 --> 00:00:38.300 Intel's Skull Canyon Nook features 00:00:38.300 --> 00:00:40.700 a sixth generation Core i7 processor 00:00:40.700 --> 00:00:42.220 and Thunderbolt 3. 00:00:42.220 --> 00:00:45.500 You can learn more at the link in the video description. 00:00:45.500 --> 00:00:47.620 But before I answer the age old question, 00:00:47.620 --> 00:00:48.940 let's see if we can't figure out 00:00:48.940 --> 00:00:52.080 exactly what makes a $5,000 graphics card 00:00:52.080 --> 00:00:54.440 so freaking specialtastic. 00:00:54.440 --> 00:00:59.440 I mean, it's got a GM 200 Maxwell architecture GPU on it. 00:00:59.920 --> 00:01:01.720 So you can't see it, it's on the other side, 00:01:01.720 --> 00:01:03.360 but you go ahead and try, good for you. 00:01:03.360 --> 00:01:05.500 That's like your effort over there. 00:01:05.500 --> 00:01:07.740 It's got 3,072 CUDA cores. 00:01:07.740 --> 00:01:10.480 It's clocked at somewhere around one gigahertz, 00:01:10.480 --> 00:01:11.560 a little lower on the base, 00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:12.760 a little higher on the boost. 00:01:12.760 --> 00:01:14.120 It's got, ooh, look at this. 00:01:15.570 --> 00:01:17.330 Four DisplayPort outputs. 00:01:17.330 --> 00:01:19.530 So you can have four 4K displays running off it 00:01:19.530 --> 00:01:20.370 at the same time. 00:01:20.370 --> 00:01:22.870 Also there's lonely old DVI up there. 00:01:22.870 --> 00:01:24.930 It can also run VGA if you're into that sort of thing. 00:01:24.930 --> 00:01:26.190 Although I don't think too many people 00:01:26.190 --> 00:01:28.110 are running $5,000 graphics cards. 00:01:28.110 --> 00:01:31.230 Can't afford a monitor that was made in the last 10 years. 00:01:31.230 --> 00:01:34.450 In terms of, okay, you got SLI and sync connectors, 00:01:34.450 --> 00:01:35.810 as well as a stereo connector 00:01:35.810 --> 00:01:37.650 if you work in stereo 3D content. 00:01:37.650 --> 00:01:38.870 So that's pretty cool. 00:01:38.870 --> 00:01:40.570 And this is really exciting. 00:01:40.570 --> 00:01:41.410 Boom! 00:01:41.410 --> 00:01:43.230 The power connector is a single eight pin 00:01:43.230 --> 00:01:45.610 on the back of the card. 00:01:45.610 --> 00:01:46.530 Over there, yes. 00:01:46.530 --> 00:01:48.750 On the back of the card, my friends, 00:01:48.750 --> 00:01:50.930 which I guess is important if you're mounting it 00:01:50.930 --> 00:01:52.170 in a rack mount case, 00:01:52.170 --> 00:01:53.590 where there isn't always clearance 00:01:53.590 --> 00:01:55.690 for power connectors that come out the side, 00:01:55.690 --> 00:01:58.250 like is popular on desktop models. 00:01:58.250 --> 00:02:02.310 The more you know. 00:02:02.310 --> 00:02:05.380 But hold on a second, Linus. 00:02:05.380 --> 00:02:09.580 All of that sounds awfully similar to the Titan X, 00:02:09.580 --> 00:02:13.540 a graphics card that costs $4,000 less. 00:02:13.540 --> 00:02:13.900 I mean, okay. 00:02:13.900 --> 00:02:16.260 There's an HDMI port instead of DisplayPort. 00:02:16.260 --> 00:02:19.820 And like, it's got an extra power connector 00:02:19.820 --> 00:02:20.880 on a different spot, 00:02:20.880 --> 00:02:23.360 but this one has like LEDs and . 00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:25.640 What makes this better? 00:02:25.640 --> 00:02:27.980 Well, we missed one small detail. 00:02:27.980 --> 00:02:32.840 It has 24 gigs of GDDR5 memory. 00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:34.540 And not only that, 00:02:34.540 --> 00:02:37.760 but that memory is capable of running in ECC mode 00:02:37.760 --> 00:02:40.520 for like super, you know, 00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:43.740 less chance of something going bad. 00:02:43.900 --> 00:02:47.260 Let's put it on a bench. 00:02:47.260 --> 00:02:49.060 Angels singing? 00:02:49.060 --> 00:02:52.140 Nothing, all right, fine. 00:02:52.140 --> 00:02:54.700 So maybe we get like lots of amazing options 00:02:54.700 --> 00:02:56.580 inside NVIDIA control panel, 00:02:56.580 --> 00:03:01.320 deciding how to use our GPU, you know. 00:03:01.320 --> 00:03:04.380 We can view system topology. 00:03:04.380 --> 00:03:10.680 We can set up mosaic, which is like surround. 00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:16.000 And we have a dedicated tab for changing the ECC state. 00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:17.480 Hard to make this exciting. 00:03:17.480 --> 00:03:20.460 Let's run a game. 00:03:20.460 --> 00:03:25.880 I'm methodically getting very high right now. 00:03:26.700 --> 00:03:27.860 Whatever, I didn't change anything. 00:03:27.860 --> 00:03:28.880 Screw off. 00:03:28.880 --> 00:03:35.460 Let's do the crisis benchmark. 00:03:35.460 --> 00:03:37.690 So the benchmark's over. 00:03:37.690 --> 00:03:41.440 Prepare to be amazed and awed. 00:03:41.440 --> 00:03:46.110 And I'm talking like, aw, not like aw. 00:03:46.110 --> 00:03:51.400 In crisis three, the Quadro M6000 scores 104 FPS. 00:03:57.340 --> 00:03:58.020 Is that even good? 00:03:58.040 --> 00:03:59.840 Yes, it is. 00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:02.500 So we're back at it with the Titan X. 00:04:02.500 --> 00:04:05.480 And I have to confess, 00:04:05.480 --> 00:04:08.370 this feels like a very similar experience. 00:04:08.370 --> 00:04:12.580 Okay, moment of truth time. 00:04:12.580 --> 00:04:14.860 105.5 FPS. 00:04:14.860 --> 00:04:16.420 Well, okay, then. 00:04:16.420 --> 00:04:17.740 But come on Linus. 00:04:17.740 --> 00:04:18.580 What were you expecting? 00:04:18.580 --> 00:04:21.780 Quadro cards aren't made for gaming. 00:04:21.780 --> 00:04:24.640 Well, truthfully, that's exactly what I was expecting 00:04:24.640 --> 00:04:26.620 because while it is true that Quadro cards 00:04:26.620 --> 00:04:29.040 are not designed for gaming, I mean, the gaming performance, 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 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. 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. 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 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, 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. 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 00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:28.780 7.2 to 7.3. 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. 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. 00:05:47.540 --> 00:05:54.040 All right, we're getting about 12 frames per second with like denoising on and such. 00:05:54.680 --> 00:06:01.750 Again, presumably that is very good, but I don't know. That is very similar. 00:06:01.930 --> 00:06:02.430 That is... 00:06:02.470 --> 00:06:04.170 faster so far. 00:06:04.170 --> 00:06:05.430 That is... 00:06:05.430 --> 00:06:06.710 the same. 00:06:06.710 --> 00:06:12.510 But maybe DaVinci Resolve then. I want to see big FPS. Oh, now come on. 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. 00:06:19.590 --> 00:06:24.470 Okay, so DaVinci Resolve with our 6K footage on a 4K timeline 00:06:25.930 --> 00:06:28.790 performed much better on the Titan X. But of course, 00:06:29.530 --> 00:06:31.530 you could afford much more than one Titan X for the price of the Titan X. 00:06:31.530 --> 00:06:32.230 You could afford much more than one Titan X for the price of the Titan X. 00:06:32.230 --> 00:06:32.730 you could afford much more than one Titan X for the price of the Titan X. 00:06:32.730 --> 00:06:34.090 for the price of an M6000. 00:06:34.090 --> 00:06:37.810 Let's see if the story changes with more Titan Xs. 00:06:38.370 --> 00:06:40.020 Eight pin. 00:06:40.020 --> 00:06:41.460 Two. 00:06:41.460 --> 00:06:42.940 Six pin. 00:06:42.940 --> 00:06:44.710 Two. 00:06:44.710 --> 00:06:46.900 Dual Molex. 00:06:46.900 --> 00:06:49.300 Okay, I have used adapters. 00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:57.100 Wait, what? Why is this not lighting up? 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? 00:07:03.030 --> 00:07:05.890 Wait, no, this doesn't make sense, because this was my first one. 00:07:05.890 --> 00:07:06.310 Wait, no, this doesn't make sense, because this was my first one. 00:07:06.310 --> 00:07:09.110 How could that not be working? 00:07:09.230 --> 00:07:14.030 Whatever the indicator LEDs might seem to think all three video cards are showing up 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 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 00:07:23.390 --> 00:07:29.150 We are seeing how the Titan X compares to the quadro in more quadro like applications 00:07:29.710 --> 00:07:31.710 three Titan X's is 00:07:31.730 --> 00:07:33.270 much faster 00:07:33.270 --> 00:07:36.000 Wow, that's scaling though. Look at that 00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:40.860 It's estimating that it's only gonna take about 11 minutes to finish this scene 00:07:40.860 --> 00:07:44.880 Of course, I still don't have 11 minutes because WAN Show started 28 minutes ago 00:07:45.460 --> 00:07:47.460 Let's fire up resolve and see how that does 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 00:08:06.780 --> 00:08:10.800 But we just triggered over current protection. I mean 00:08:11.440 --> 00:08:15.260 The truth of the matter is that none of this really affects the conclusion anyway 00:08:16.400 --> 00:08:19.440 Why does the quadro M6000 cost five? 00:08:20.180 --> 00:08:22.280 $5,000 in the olden days 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 00:08:29.640 --> 00:08:33.800 That would have actually been true it performed more like a Tesla in that regard 00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:38.660 But these days it actually performs just like a g-force there too with 00:08:39.800 --> 00:08:44.600 1 32nd of the performance of what you can expect in fp 32 computations 00:08:44.600 --> 00:08:49.160 so if you were say for example doing financial analysis or some kind of 00:08:49.560 --> 00:08:52.900 Physical modeling you wouldn't choose one of these either 00:08:53.280 --> 00:08:53.800 No 00:08:53.800 --> 00:08:58.020 my friends the quadro M6000 the reason that NVIDIA and PNY both 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 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 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 00:09:16.940 --> 00:09:19.320 Will need to buy one of these so let's say for 00:09:19.320 --> 00:09:21.420 example your 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 00:09:27.080 --> 00:09:29.540 then you would be better served by a 00:09:30.260 --> 00:09:33.700 Bunch of these and like a lifetime supply of M&Ms 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 00:09:39.540 --> 00:09:41.700 So that's pretty much it then 00:09:42.220 --> 00:09:44.500 Thanks for watching this episode of holy sh** 00:09:45.290 --> 00:09:48.250 Online is tech tips if you guys just like this video hit the dislike button 00:09:48.250 --> 00:09:49.910 But if you liked it hit that like button and subscribe to my channel and I'll see you in the next video. Bye! 00:09:49.930 --> 00:09:55.370 Get subscribed maybe even consider checking out where to buy one of these or maybe a more sensible graphics card 00:09:55.370 --> 00:09:57.370 We'll have a link in the video description 00:09:57.450 --> 00:09:58.490 While you're down there 00:09:58.490 --> 00:10:02.650 You can also check out our merch store where we have cool shirts like this one as well as our community forum where you can 00:10:02.650 --> 00:10:09.130 Ask all of your technology related questions and get answers better answers than no you can't game on a quadro 00:10:09.330 --> 00:10:13.170 The true answer is yes, you can. No, you probably shouldn't 00:10:13.810 --> 00:10:15.810 Because you just spent 00:10:16.450 --> 00:10:19.650 $5,000 for the gaming performance of it and that's ignoring the 00:10:19.930 --> 00:10:26.770 TDI which performs exactly the same as the Titan X for a thousand dollar graphics card. Thanks again for watching. See you guys next time
