I am looking for a Nvidia Quadro card that would give me similar speed to my GTX 1060? I am doing video editing and color grading in PP and some keying and motion grapics in AE. Thank you.

Can I run my GTX 1060 and a Quadro P2000 at the same time?

to this day, I still cant figure this out... as far as I know, the gtx has no problem processing whatever you can throw at it in premiere... It will write any file... it just will not display 10 bit.. so as a compute only device it is perfect... but as a 10 bit monitor.. it is not.. If you can set the quadro to handle display, and select the gtx to compute, you are golden.. I just haven't figured that out yet. There has been a lot of talk about using one of blackmagics mini monitor in conjuction with gtx cards, but i haven't found anything that definitively shows how it works yet...

Thanks mate.

The problem is that the blackmagic cards only work for reference monitors, meaning you will only see your footage. But I want windows and my whole above suite to work in 10 bit. So even if I open Photoshop everything is displayed at 10 bit.

    I don't have any real data.. but my quadro m4000 seems to keep up with my 1080 pretty well in most situations... I would expect it might be very similar to 1060 performance..

      Thank you. Do these cards also help color grading, playback and GPU effects? Since the GTX cards seem to have much more MHz but less cuba cores. If I look at comparison the GTX cards always have more performance:

      http://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-Quadro-4000-vs-Nvidia-GTX-1060-6GB/m7693vs3639

      That is confusing for me. I always though the quadro cards are for CAD performance, but also editing?

      the new quadro p4000 is perhaps the closest, its actually a bit faster.

        Thank you. So the quadro cards also helps editing, rendering and color grading?

        quadro's won't do any more for performance than the gtx cards. both will help with any gpu accelerated fx, like lumetri color, and some misc functions like scaling. they won't directly help with codec encode or decode.
