PNY NVIDIA Quadro CX Workstation Graphics Card

[EminidisMike]

Spielberg is using this card to make his films...

[XxXPenrdXxX]

quadro or firepro?

[MrCGangsta]

@XxXPenrdXxX quadro because nVidia rulez

[XxXPenrdXxX]

@MrCGangsta saddy I've got a quadro and I rma'ed it too many lag spikes.

[mikezzzz29]

can u use that for gaming???

[AngrySackBoy]

@mikezzzz29 Ready comment #2 on this page, answer should be obvious.

[KINECTSUCKS]

if i had money i would so buy because it takes so long to render on Cinema 4D

[AngrySackBoy]

@KINECTSUCKS Does Cinema 4D allow vRay as well as GPU rendering?

[TheAndemas]

would a gtx570 be close in 3d rendering performance with this gtx260 in an armani suit?

[Vickramjason]

you are like the jeremy clarkson of graphic cards..!

[slashBR1751]

Why 2500 bucks for this shit?

what about modding a $500 one?

[italianstuddmuffin]

@slashBR1751 Because this card isnt for gaming. Its for professional standard rendering and CAD work.

[slashBR1751]

@italianstuddmuffin THATS TRUE, but 2500!?!? what about a 580 quad sli?

[italianstuddmuffin]

@slashBR1751 for most gaming/rending it would be fine. If you were a professional and used very heavy programs then a workstation card is much more useful.

[TalesOfWar]

@slashBR1751 You still won't get the same benefits this card (and type of card) offer you. For a start it supports higher colour bit depths for FAR more accurate colour, which is VERY important for the markets this thing is aimed at. Also, these kind of cards have highly customised and specialised drivers for whatever specific task they're being used for at that moment in time so you get the absolute most out of it in terms of performance and efficiency. All these things cost more to do.

[MrRazerguy]

the griefers wet dream

[OiShiRaZ]

People will laugh at this video in 30 years

[djtyper]

lol... look up mercury playback engine for cs5 hack... save some cash...

[HOMM5]

1 This card costs 768€ in europe. any quad core CPU does better, you waste money

2 The dude in the video is a idiot, he holds the card from the pce If he had any static energy byebye 768€ card

3 wow this card is paying for its self, is better than any money making machine? if so I want one

[C4Chaos42]

@HOMM5 lol you must be 10.

[metalinvalidmatt]

whats the point of SLIGHTLY modding a normal graphics card, makeing them more compatible with video and 3d rendering, when they could just make the normal graphics cards work better with these programs, seeing as they are almost the same graphics card core.

[vide0gameCaster]

Look how they cost now, arround 2-3 hundred bucks!

[microbot23]

wow what a noob he holds the connection. seriously what a fag..

[mupp37]

He broke his arm first time he tried to carry it ...

[NewGameReleases]

I don't understand why this is so expensive. It's just a gtx 260 lool

[LashByLash69]

@NewGameReleases listen to the review and you'll find out

[NewGameReleases]

@LashByLash69 HAHAHA good one! lol. But really, I just don't see what makes it so special even after watching

[LashByLash69]

@NewGameReleases Then you didn't watch the video or you didn't understand a word he said.

No offence but that's pretty stupid.

[NewGameReleases]

@LashByLash69 no offense but that's pretty stupid? I'm sorry man, but that was pretty stupid. lol

[hackerisslv]

@NewGameReleases It is made for movies

[hackerisslv]

@NewGameReleases i mean for movie making like in 3d max maya..

[sweetlemonade123]

Is there an nvidia card that supports 4 or more monitors? From what I can see, I would need either an ati eyefinity 6 card or two nvidia cards. I know about quadro nvs, but those are very slow cards. I need something fast for real-time rendering.

[smoothintentions]

Man I really wish I had the money for the new equal to this. AE is such a pain in the ass on rendering. My old p4 and 8400gs take what seems like days even with Open GL to render.

[iMadeYouMad]

Yeah. Probably for movie directors or very high-ranking graphic designers

[anghelalex]

the 4 gb one costs 6500 fucking $ in my country.... lol

[einarknutsen]

THIS SHIT IS EVEN MORE EXPENSIVE THEN 3 FREAKING GAMER COMPUTERS!

[megalith]

I'd have to sell my soul twice before I can even buy one of these.

[heyhore15]

2000-3000 dollars are you fucking serious i can buy an atv with that or a alien computer which is the best of the best or i can get one of the new 3d tvs with the blue ray player wtf is with that price man they be ripping people off these days

[lightfox831]

@heyhore15 sorry but alienware isnt the bestand the video care is made for business not gaming

[Sticky1254]

@heyhore15 Alienware is fucking terrible, and you could build a better computer for less. These cost so much because they are meant for people doing seriously intensive work with 3ds max and CAD. Not for fucking gaming. This is more powerful then any gaming card. Learn your fucking facts before talking shit.

[heyhore15]

@Sticky1254 hey dumbass you obviously didnt get the point you fucking moron my point was i would rather buy something bigger than one card you idiot so BEFOR YOU TALK "SHIT" learn the facts

[Sticky1254]

@heyhore15 This one card is more powerful than quad GTX480's when it comes to 3D design, CAD, and photoshop work. in terms of FLOPS, this would out do it. For gaming, this would be useless.

[TheAllTechInOnePlace]

i got a new quadro that supports SLI with core i7 and AfterEffects Is Super Fast!!! Now I play crysis At work in place of work.

[jerryfudala]

The type of calculations are different for games and 3d rendering. 3d cards are meant for 3d and vice versa.

[alex14469]

good specs but horrible for gaming? I know its built for a different purpose but why so slow on gaming if it can render 3d so well

[saqibd123new]

@alex14469

no seriously shiiit at gaming, my work experience place had i think 2 in their pc? and it couldnt run cod4 on lowest settings.... my 6600 256mb does better than that and their pc also had 4 screens :)

[TheMadOrc]

its not meant for gaming.

[renekenshin6573]

Only an idiot will buy this for gaming -_-

[Asdemus]

@renekenshin6573 idiot or rich?

[renekenshin6573]

@Asdemus i guess both XD

[Asdemus]

@renekenshin6573 =D

[bornwisedistruction]

@Asdemus Is there a real difference ???

[Rressurector158]

@renekenshin6573 lol

[BigdogWitBigdog]

@renekenshin6573 Well yes, this is for workstation computers, IE: CAD, HD video editing, ect. This is TERRIBLE in games.

[LightBringerize]

This is for creating graphics, not encoding them, so i agree with you

[RudhonThe2nd]

@renekenshin6573 because it isn't meant to be for gaming

[deagle94]

the funny thing is,this my laptops 8400m gt would run games better then this,because this is built for bussines.

[omarxxxxx]

can i play mario kart on this ?

[jerryfudala]

good one...

[factionxvt408x]

I was hoping on some CAD/DCC commentary and examples...ah well.

[GoldenbanjoDJ]

anyone who buys this for gaming has more money than sense

[Diabolical05]

for 2,500 you can suck my penis..

[209chhoeum]

exactly what i was thinking when i saw the price

[Swaggerboyyy]

@Diabolical05  exactly

[hackerisslv]

@Diabolical05 that is the price of making movie effects and movies.. :(

[meetajhu]

For you all who is thinking of gaming and use this for rendering it won't work and this card is not needed for home users. This only reduces time of the rendering your work. Therefore only used in production houses. Its the same geforce hardware but for a different purpose. If your a gamer and work on maya get a geforce card which is more than enough only rendering time will make difference. PS cs4 3d model painting will be faster. get geforce 300 series which have cuda cores they will beat this

[golle100]

I¨ve got it and it pretty nice at gaming :D.. like from my point of view d;.. well i play MW2 and gmod and css and that stuff havent tested it on wow yet :D

[pedinoway2]

lol, i wonder how these work in gaming. i know it is not designed for gaming but i just wonder

[King3047]

it costs $2.500 so i think it would do fine lol

[pedinoway2]

@King3047 they cost even more, i saw one that was 7000

[LucidLJ]

u look different

[NeilsShoe]

Quadro cards don't render 3d they allow animators to move plain shaded 3d really fast in Open GL . The rendering is still done in software on a cpu. Quadro are usless at running Directx graphics as its an Open GL card it can run quake 2 and nothing that came out after that. A gamer card can run 3d Software such as Maya and softimage but not as fast as quadro.

[marcogugo]

especially don't expect a gaming card to be working as much as a card like this would do. I had been working on Alias with an Ati card and for quite a while i had various visual glitches and artifacts.

[deluxedookie]

@marcogugo

fireGL sucks if that what you useing.

[deluxedookie]

@NeilsShoe

it uses both OpenGL & DirectX only openGL on a mac. i have a 512mb it runs my 3ds max09 in directX fast than it does in openGL runs my lightwave 8 fast its opengl.

havent tryed any games on it.

[j7x54]

albert's hair has really changed

[ElectroneF]

This Card Should Have SLI

[cssful]

Actually it has SLI..

[randomrat]

no it cant be used for gaming, itll be really inefficient.

for realtime games use a GTX295

for professional encoding and rendering use the Quadro CX

[jbeebrylle]

you cant use it on gaming? wow and its 4x more expensive than my computer

[AngrySackBoy]

How do you think your games are made dude, with a workstation computer. Your graphics card couldn't hand the shit this thing can handle.

[glitchmaster99]

a 2gb photo wtf mines like 5mb

[MinhyMintyMouse]

there are 2 gig photos its surprising but there are lol

[lourke123]

he looks diff

[grandtheftauto1233]

lol he hurt his wrist trying to get that thing out the box

[urgandma]

u say that this is for 3d and stuff like that. is it also for gaming?

[TOMUGUENRISU]

yes

[rockfan246]

your computer will crash they already tried

[glitchmaster99]

no it wont work dont support that stuff

[osmodivs]

Ok, here´s a question for all you computer experts, I wanna do some 3d modeling and photo edition, and maybe some video 2, i was planning on buying a PNY NVIDIA GeForce GTX 285, but now a see that there is a QUADRO version, the 1.5G version is almost $3500usd!!! i need at least 1G of memory & CUDA, the thing is, i only have a $350usd budget, would the GTX 285 work for my needs?

[IanTBH]

No, the Geforce series does not, in any way, accelerate photo editing or render 3D models.

[Dunceiam]

Disagree - multiple photo editing/rendering programs can utilize CUDA/Stream abilities. Most notably, the CS4 suite. So yes, it does.

[d3tach3d]

would this work with rendering in maya?

[IanTBH]

I'm not sure, I use the Quadro5600 for Maya

[Ghostreconunit666]

quadro fx 5600 crysis at 1024x764 all low but volumetric and physics on high....0.0 28 fps

[d3tach3d]

they are primarily for rendering if i am correct. for realtime gaming i think you want a diff card.

[CrdBrdProjects]

would it be... REALLY powerful?

[freaklord5]

Lol i kno this is NOT a gaming card. but what i have always wondered if it COULD be used as a gaming card??. haha my uncle uses this card for building websites and such but he has never tried anything on it like crysis and stuff. and wont even try unless he knows its possible :P

[z5teve]

PNY NVIDIA Quadro FX 5800 Graphics Card 4GB GDDR3, best price £2.500

[danielo360dk]

CAN I PLAY CRYSIS on maximun resolution, if they have 1.5 Gb of memory

[lazyassbum]

Is this Nvidia's new stategy? One graphics card designed for one specific app? I hope they dont do this for games.

[DavidJoeC]

I see your concern, but the stuff he described does cover a large percentage of what good video cards are used for.

[luis61961944]

can i put that card in a mac pro?

[camb702]

no this particular one.

however, the quadro fx 4800 will be out this month for mac.

[mrmartial]

lmao i won't get this card.. i'll buy a gtx 295..

[marick626]

good for you...... dumbass.

[mattt667]

lol... this card if 4 ppl who desighns websites, creates and edits movies, etc. not 4 gaming lol.

[g4tech]

i heard of somebody who got 2 of these just to play crysis

[pclover]

Yeah it will play well. These are workstation cards and not gaming cards.

[marick626]

what a fucking retard

[alternshot]

you are a retard for bitchin' on the internet!

[vincentdolbydigital]

any body wants to know how much this costs?

$1999.99 WTF

[liviuwallverin]

Can you plugin 3 monitors on this card? Or i will have to use another video card just for video out?

[larlar752000]

is that albert? he looks so little

[Rakesh4502]

CRYSIS!!! ON THIS!!!

[Groudon185p]

That too but it's made for encoding and frame/1sec rendering. It's not made for gaming but will still push some nice frames :-)

[g4tech]

you want to play crysis on this?

There are WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY More powerful gaming cars this costs 2K

[wcchalo]

can u game with those??

[Jteppic]

There are better cards to do that.

[RE4L72]

you might but it wont be very good.

[doorhandleman]

Do you not know, how much of a loser you sound like.

[KD44G]

is it youtube or is this video quality garbage?

[bloodgulch1]

that card cost about a thousand dollars!!!

[Groudon185p]

it's a workstation card and you get what you pay for.

[ASUSfan08]

1700$ at newegg!

[jerryjhun]

why does it take 1 day to just encode a video??

[Donny519]

Is this mother fucker from canada?

[DoraStalker]

no.

[ASUSfan08]

why can't the quadro used to play games?

[latuman]

They are used to make those games.

[ASUSfan08]

you ppl are right, but what i think is that their drivers are optimized for 3d rendering and not for games, so if we install the game optimized drivers, theys shud be able to play games!

[latuman]

There are structural differences. You CAN play games with Quadro's, its just that their layout etc is not made with games in mind

[operationturkey]

Quadro CX = £1,608.79

Geforce GTX260 + Quadro softmod = £160.15

Why would anyone pay 10x the price to have a slightly more stable chip, 2x memory and specialist ouputs? Rediculous if you ask me. Just get a geforce 285 and don't throw away your money.

[j3llyf1sh]

maybe because they need the stability, 2x memory and specialist outputs. there's more to the quadro cards than that though

[operationturkey]

- Stability difference = negligable. Geforce chips are very stable at stock (or lower) clocks.

- 1.5gb or more memory can be found in several cards. Even an MSI 260 with 1792MB

- Ever heard of an adapter cable?

- You can softmod the BIOS of a 260 to use quadro drivers.

[united3000]

because the support is different..

[operationturkey]

Do you not understand BIOS mods? You can load a quadro CX BIOS onto a GTX260 and use quadro drivers. Therefore, the 'support' is identical.

[united3000]

A GTX 260 has no Display ports...

And you can´t change your "normal" BIOS, to a Quadro BIOS anymore, nvidia isn´t as stupid as you think ;)

If it would work, your GTX 260 or whatever wouldn´t have the same performance.

[operationturkey]

Please explain how two identical chips have differing performance.

[united3000]

they´re different optimized...

The PCB is different. Ok, the chips are the same, but everyone woh needs a good card for Adobe CS4 or something like that, will buy a professional card, the rest who just wants to play games buys a different card.

[n91guru]

i have one!!!... on my pc i use for my archi stuff..

luckly got it as a pressie for gettin into a good uni... and the course i want :>....

[shadman1911]

I'm a 3d artist and I want that card...

[wolfetb]

That costs 1760 $ in TigerDirect.

[Mathewmartialart]

hang on...so for over 3k it only encodes hd h264???????? blooming heck let down

[Mathewmartialart]

and it costs over £3k, so i think ill wait for another 2 years so the price comes down lol

[TheDarkFalcon]

wtf... where did you get that price from...

[Yoda8232]

This is NOT for gaming.

Do NOT even consider this, only for servers and workstations.

[TheDarkFalcon]

wow ur so smart..

[Yoda8232]

Did I ever say that?

Everyone is comparing them to regular cards is why I said that.

[naguto]

this thing is way better than the 260. its not like what he says in the video. this card benches 5% better than a gtx 295.

[sillentkller9]

yo did he say 2 gb photo

[piez07]

This thing support PhysX??

whahaha..

[zlink8]

These aren't for games at all. These aren't made to do that, actually they suck at games completely. They are specifically for professional programs.

[mda40000]

did you forget what i just said? NVIDIAS CARDS HAVE INDEPENDENTLY CLOCKED SHADER UNITS.

[yourma2000]

yes but you can increase the shader core on Nvidia GPUs

[dacooter]

yes

[arvutihull]

awesome card!

[mda40000]

yeah and no because one of my 9800's is equal to that of a card thats got 500 stream processors in it and made by ati. their clock speed is inferiorly low to an nvidia card by about 1300 mhz. a whole 1.3 ghz. unlike my 9800 which is at 2 ghz shader speed.

[joeb0]

Hey Tigerdirect, can you please make videos for the Firestream 9250 and the 9170? thanks

[vii288]

Nvidia sucks ..ATI is much more better.Cant wait for HD4890

[rebel4055]

Thats what all fan boys say and NVIDIA is the best right now their prices are dropping and when that 4890 comes out Ati will still be down and nvidia will still be on the top

[arvutihull]

lol... fanboys = nolifers

[kage7785]

agree, cmon admit its funny to see all the raging between them though.

[wildman00sax]

ATI sucks... Nvidia is way better (performance crown) Can't wait for the GTX 275 (that will eat the HD4890 for dinner).

[PRODVDi]

what about GTX 295?

[drunkoldman93]

The HD4890 is able to operate in DX11... Last I heard the GTX 275 could not support that feature.

[TehDeviance]

you do know that there is NO programs out that support DX11. so its kinda pointless...

[naguto]

the 4890 benches just as well as the GTX 285 WITH BETA DRIVERS. that basically means the 4890 with official drivers will probably bench around the same as the gtx 295, and since crossfirex has like 40-60% scaling, it will completely crush nvidia. however, youre right. nvidia does have better performance, but that is only due to the fact that their cards run CUDA and physX.

[slinkey123]

lol man its not as good as a 285 its just an overclocked 4870 and usually gets around 6-10fps more the 4870. Its in between the 260 and 285, and official drivers dont give you hardly any increase over beta lol.

Still though, im all for ATI beating nvidia. I own 2x4870s and they are dam good cards. And you gotta love the prices for ATI :)

[LiquidFriction]

AMD owns the price to performance market, hehe ^^

[Groudon185p]

With video cards. Their processors are so shit.

[samthepoor]

its not about the processors anymore...

stream processors are used for parallel processing

look at the performance of a gtx260 with its 576mhz clock...

[FortunexenutroF]

No, AMD still owns the price:performance ratio market. The Phenom II 720BE performs as well as or better than the E8400 and costs $25-$50 less. The Phenom 940 performs as well as the Q9650 and costs $125 less. Intel wins in the enthusiast market though, no doubt.

[SukhoiSu37Terminator]

By seeing all the benchmarks the Phenom II only wins in one game. Call of Duty 4..

[FortunexenutroF]

Where did you get those numbers? The 4890 beats the 4870 by 5-10FPS and loses to the GTX285 by 5-20FPS.

[thegeekazoid]

would've been good to have this while i was getting my animation degree

[Peetah16]

cool but i dont encode alot so this isnt for me

[stephenjones95s]

yer
