I would like to look for a right video card for CS5.5 or new CS6 video editing only.  I looked at the requirement for my future new PC, but I need your help for providing me more information on the comparsion between GeForce GTX and Quadro.

What does GTX have that Quadro does not have?

What does Quadro have that GTX does not have?

I would like for you to give me a chart on the difference between them like an outline comparsion or column comparsion.

Also, what is the maximun of RAM memory for video editing?

Thank you

I'm sorry, I meant 7700HQ...

Since you are dealing with 4k and HD you might want to consider at least a good GTX 1060 because evidently you will be scaling to HD  I have the EVGA 06G-P4-6163-KR which is superclocked and that Memory Clock is running at  2002MHz or effective Memory Clock 8008 MHz  but I have been able to overclock it to 9600 effective MHz.  For great CUDA reslts

There is a newer version the EVGA 06G-P4-6768-KR which has more thermal sensors built in and does cost a little more but may be a better buy in the long term.

I'm planning to buy the recent Dell XPS 15, which has a i7 7300HQ and GTX 1050 and for me will have 32GB Ram. Do you think I will be able to able to do ,multicamera editing with at least two 4K cameras with intraframe codec and two more Full HD cameras? That's actually a common task for me in the future.

I just checked, and there is no i7-7300HQ CPU at all. Did you mean the i5-7300HQ? That CPU has four physical cores without hyperthreading (only four threads).

Get a GTX690 or 780ti. I have two of each and it is a real fun

Hi

I had beeen had the same question quadro or gtx.

and made a decisition. I changed my gtx  580  with quadro 4000.

positives:

1.Color: Black is like pure black with quadro. And the other colors also. Eventhough my monitor is not 10 bit.

2.Luminans contrast: Luminasity and contrast of images look like better. This is just feeling and very subjective: Pixel creation way is qutie diffirent. I felt as if I use an  ati card. Much contrast and luminans.

3.Video quality: This is very very very subjective okey take care : They both do the same thing such as video editing but I feel like quadro final result is better. Maybe I always tick best render and best depth boxes.

4.Antialias:This is certian quadro is better.

Futuristic:

Next years and monts will bring a new rule : In video production and news people will use much 3d

so quadro will be better for me.

negatives

1.Cuda cores: Yes quadro has less cuda cores

But here comes a question: Yes cuda core is a horsepower.

But is it only horse power that pulls my car? No

here is a case: Ten minuties ago I was having a previev rendering in pp.

cpu usage %15 gpu:%20 Ram:%50 (hard disk sata ssd 3)

Some horses must be sleeping

Why cuda dosent use all my cpu

İf I would have maximus(how wish I would have) or gtx

shall it be the same

Please do not just stick on  cuda cores

Stick on your wishes and plans and your needs

Cuda is very usefull and gooooood

But not only horsepower

thx

What you are describing is the use of an uncalibrated monitor. There is no difference in color, contrast, luminance or video quality between GTX or Quadro on a properly calibrated monitor. What you are experiencing is the same as with different TV models. They have different display settings from the factory and without proper calibration, they show different levels of black, luminance, contrast etc. But who uses a TV with factory settings? Who uses a video card with default driver settings? Every editor should calibrate his monitor or TV first.

First calibrate, load the resulting profile into the video card and then you will not see any difference. Your sleeping horses are the result of slow components in your system, like that disk setup. Your sleeping horses are comparable to a low horsepower car but with all gears available. You can put in more horsepower by using a GTX, but if you limit yourself to using only first gear, the difference is negligent.

    I look for more features between GeForce and Quadro.  Any idea if you can find, please let me know.

    Thank you

    GTX$$$ & Quadro$$$$$$$$$$

    If you are looking for improvising your performance first make your self next´s question´s:

    What processor do I have: AMD or intel? dual, Quad, Exa core...?

    How much Ram do you have, HDD CONFIG, Overclocking, Cooling etc...

    Get the maximum of your pc before order a $$$$$$$ Video card.

    Gtx 580 can perform 80% of the quadro 5000?

    ...but it always was vice versa...

    quadros were always slower "viewpoint performance" but they're "for some reason" certified autodesk hardware... but for example the gtx295 is also certified.

    the problem is now that there is a driver opengl performance problem reported by some people using the new 4xx series[ a great performance drop down in dcc apps...]

    The GTX580 has 512 cores, running at 772MHz, 1002MHz (Core/RAM)

    The 5000 has 352 cores, running at 513, 750

    You decide. Don't see a reason to buy a Quadro when you cam improving in so many others areas

    If you don't need the 10 bit color of the Quadro (and most users probably don't), then here's the low down:

    GTX will offer better performance for less money.

    Quadro will offer less performance for more money.

    1. GTX has performance advantage for general video editing over Quadro
    2. Quadro has 10 bit output, but unless you have a monitor that properly supports 10-bit it will do you no good.

    I have never tested a Quadro, but here are my comparison charts of GPU's and a chart showing a few boards I have tested with CS5.5.

    There is no maximum RAM, there is a minimum for MPE to work it is (I believe)  896 MB or we typically round it off to 1 GB

    Is it still true that GTX has better performance for less money concerning video editing. Aren't there any advantages with the drivers of the quadro cards which should support the needs of programs other than games more?

    Absolutely GTX will out perform Quadro's when you compare prices .  A GTX 1080Ti has 3584 CUDA cores an sells for about sells for 750 USD,  The Pascal version of the Quadro with same 3584 CUDA cores is a mere 9000 USD.  Qudro main advantage is if you have an expensive 10-bit monitor
