Professional Graphics Roundup: NVIDIA Quadro and AMD FirePro

[news 28]

Both NVIDIA and AMD have updated their respective professional graphics

lines in the last month or so and we sit down with a pair of Quadro cards

and a pair of FirePro cards to see which has the ability to be the best

performer AND which is the best value. On the test bench today is the

Quadro FX 4800 and FX 3700 as well as the FirePro v8700 and v5700.

Quote: "Professional 3D developers are finally getting their hands on the

latest GPU technology from NVIDIA and AMD in the form of updated Quadro and

FirePro designs. The price gap between the Quadro FX 4800 and the FirePro

v8700 might be a little hard to justify for some professionals that don't

spend a lot of time using 3d studio max (where the Quadro really seems to

shine) since in some other cases the v8700 will outperform the FX 4800."

 

Thanks for a post!
