    I am just finishing a build and was hoping someone could shed light on two choices of graphics cards to maximize the system.

    Choice 1: nVidia Quadro K4000 or GTX770OC 2gb now the GTX is half the price but I always like something stable that will prove to give years of service, but at double the cost I need to know the K4000 is well worth the investment…

    I know about adding the GTX card to the TXT file, but will it work as efficiently as the K4000 across the board?

    Hoping someone can help on this.

    While I’m sure you can compare benchmarks on sites like Tomshardware there are things, intrinsically different between Quadro cards and gaming cards like the GTX besides speed and price.

    https://www.reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?98939-New-quadro-quot-K-quot-4000-vs-gtx-titan was a decent similar discussion.

    Angelo thanks for the link,
    I have checked it out and they say the GTX Titan is the way to go for Premiere etc (other than CAD etc) the GTX Titan has been out for a while could I go with the GTX770OC 4gb or GTX780OC 3gb BUT the GXT Titan is $ AUD 1325.00 the K4000 is AUD $ 1040.00 but the K4000 is not the processing power of the Titan, but has other stable features.

    I am just starting out so sometimes all of these specs kill your brain, Any thoughts you have, plus I should add this is a PC (just to be clear).

    I think my goal was to show you the first response to that post. The expense of a Quadro card doesn’t translate to speed so much as it does other features like professional outputs, a larger instruction set for CAD/3D, faster RAM access, and so on. Will you need those features, do you care about resale value? That’s what you need to weigh out.

    Angelo, I appreciate your assistance, resale value no, because I generally do not sell any components as I use them past their “value” date, I have checked a few other options and found the Latest Gigabyte GTX-780 series has Kepler and also a great number of CUDA cores, and since the majority of what I will be using the system for is Video editing, it appears as though, from a number of other people’s feedback, that this is most suitable for my requirements, plus considerably cheaper than a QUADRO card.

    I shall see how I go when I get the system running, once again thanks for your valuable links and feedback!
    Marcus
