00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:07.279
so this graphics card is $500 and delivers some pretty Elite hacks or FPS

00:00:06.200 --> 00:00:11.480
look I don't care it doesn't matter the point is that it's the cat's pajamas and

00:00:09.280 --> 00:00:16.440
it's got a price tag that reflects that to which you might reply oh that's

00:00:13.719 --> 00:00:20.199
nothing lus there's this other sick gfx card I bet it's going to get so much

00:00:18.199 --> 00:00:24.439
more FPS I think I know what you're talking

00:00:22.240 --> 00:00:30.679
about and I do see how the logic works this one's $500 and this one's 5,000 so

00:00:27.480 --> 00:00:33.040
like it must get 10 times more FPS right

00:00:30.679 --> 00:00:37.079
sorry no it won't a little bit of Investigation about this particular card

00:00:34.920 --> 00:00:42.920
reveals that the actual Graphics core powering it is the very same GK 110 as

00:00:40.200 --> 00:00:47.199
you would find in a regular old GTX 780 at one10 of the price and while PC

00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:51.360
Hardware maybe powered by Magic blue smoke no amount of magic makes a chip

00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:55.079
with the same design manufactured on the same process node perform that much

00:00:53.760 --> 00:00:59.680
better than the same thing on another card all right so fine lus I get it

00:00:57.879 --> 00:01:03.359
these aren't a great value for gaming but this makes no sense um if they're

00:01:01.800 --> 00:01:08.320
basically the same thing why does one cost $5,000 well there are a few reasons

00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:12.600
but the biggest one is that the Target customers for this product large content

00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:17.240
Production Studios oil and resource exploration firms and the like have a

00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:20.759
lot more money than you and me and these products help them make so many more

00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:25.040
bucket loads of money that they can easily justify the cost so NVIDIA would

00:01:23.119 --> 00:01:29.119
be crazy not to take advantage of that and besides a Quadro and a GeForce

00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:33.439
running the same chip aren't quite the same thing for St ERS NVIDIA controls

00:01:31.560 --> 00:01:37.399
the specifications and quality assurance on all Quadro cards unlike GeForce cards

00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:42.439
which are left to the board Partners so you're going to get more DisplayPort outputs uh unique form factors like

00:01:40.720 --> 00:01:46.000
single Slot Cards and professional grade Hardware validation starting at its

00:01:44.320 --> 00:01:49.560
heart a Quadro is going to get a GPU that is cherry-picked for the best

00:01:47.360 --> 00:01:53.399
reliability lowest power consumption and lowest heat output then it's going to

00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:56.960
get equipped with a larger video memory frame buffer that features error

00:01:54.960 --> 00:02:00.560
correction technology following that it's going to get special drivers that

00:01:58.479 --> 00:02:04.439
are validated for seamless operation with the professional grade applications

00:02:02.360 --> 00:02:08.720
that these kinds of cards work best for 3D modeling animation and such and

00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:13.280
finally Quadro cards have one key feature enabled in manufacturing that

00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:17.480
lies dormant on most GeForce cards with Titan being the only current exception

00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:21.120
double Precision floating Point capabilities put all these things

00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:24.959
together and you've got a card that is less susceptible to random errors Works

00:02:23.040 --> 00:02:28.640
more reliably and for longer and can perform calculations and draw images

00:02:26.640 --> 00:02:32.519
with a much greater degree of precision than its consumer grade counterpart now

00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:36.360
this is the part where you probably want to jump in and say well hold on a second

00:02:33.959 --> 00:02:40.560
lonus none of that really sounds like it justifies the extra expense it seems

00:02:38.040 --> 00:02:45.879
like NVIDIA is actually kneecapping the consumer cards as opposed to drizzling

00:02:42.720 --> 00:02:48.280
special sauce on the pro ones and I'm a

00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:52.680
let you finish but actually yeah I can't really argue with that assessment what I

00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:57.400
will say in defense of this practice is that a the prograde stuff does

00:02:54.640 --> 00:03:00.480
legitimately cost some more to make B Gamers don't really need this stuff I

00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:06.239
mean did you ever actually sit there going well jeez if only the position of my character's head could have been

00:03:03.400 --> 00:03:11.319
calculated to 15 decimal places and see everyone does it this paintbrush is made

00:03:09.519 --> 00:03:16.080
of the same hair from an animal's rear end as some consumer grade one it's a

00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:19.799
bit better and it costs a lot more at least something positive comes out of

00:03:17.959 --> 00:03:24.680
this practice when it comes to Tech though Pros paying top dollar for gear

00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:27.840
gives Innovative companies the R&D money that they need to deliver better

00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:31.879
products for us consumers down the road so even though we can't afford that card

00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:36.200
that suitable for complex weather simulations today at least a year from

00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:40.000
now our games will run faster than ever and we can thank the folks who spend a

00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:43.640
lots of money on quadros and fire GLS and other professional great equipment

00:03:41.640 --> 00:03:47.400
for that speaking of saying thanks our sponsor for today's episode is one that

00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:50.680
we hold very dear around here since without it the Charming gentleman
