Quadro M4000 vs 980 Ti for gaming and rendering?

Pirouz · Sep 3, 2015

Hi all,
I currently have the system specified below, my gpu is Asus 760 Ti, but I'm looking to upgrade, both for better gaming and better rendering times (mostly Revit, 3Ds Max, Rhino). So my question is, is it better to keep the 760 and add a Quadro M4000 for rendering or to get rid of the 760 and get a 980Ti to serve both for gaming and rendering?

Asus Hero VI
16GB RAM
4770k not overclocked yet
Asus 760 Ti CC

I really appreciate your help!

depending on the rendering software used the quadro will destroy the 980ti. are you using Maya? if not what?

At the same time, the 980Ti will destroy the quadro in gaming.

^ well yes, I figured that was given.

Interestingly... Looks like the 980Ti destroys the Quadro in many aspects... even in most rendering applications.

The only benefits of the Quadro line is DPFP and a much lower TDP (80W on the quadro vs. 165 on the 980Ti)
Has Double Precision Floating Point (DPFP)

This is useful when using the GPU for general-purpose computing (GPGPU) such as scientific research, as it provides a higher degree of precision when making calculations.

If your rendering applications don't directly utilize DPFP, I would shoot for the 980Ti all around. Even Nvidia sells workstations for Scientific research sporting 4 Titan X's, and the 980Ti is quite literally a Titan X minus 8% (and -6GB VRAM)

For gaming, you'll have a better experience with the 980 Ti. But rendering the Quadro. Honestly, the 980 Ti has a better chance of holding up in rendering than the Quadro would in fast motion.

Workstation (OpenGL Hardware) cards have better accuracy and are better for calculations and making things pretty. These are simply number crunchers. Awesome calculations on the fly with better output.

Gaming cards are built around fast motion calculation where the accuracy will be easily overlooked due to intensive frame rates. These are faster, but not doing as much math.

Although I've never tried a Quadro for gaming, I have used my 7870 Tahiti to design in SolidWorks. No slowdown in performance, but it wouldn't render the pretty textures on the fly.

fire pros are great as you can overclock them well, and then they can game too. that W9100 is like a 16GB R9 290X and it runs about as fast as one out of the box.

Thanks a lot everyone! i guess i'm going with the 980Ti then

you guys rock!
