ATI FirePro or Quadro
ATI FirePro or Quadro
(OP)
Hi all
I've been asked by my boss which card is better for 200+ part assemblies. I've looked on the SWx website and I've done a google search, but I thought I would be better to ask on here.
There are only these cards that he wants to consider (I don't know why)
AMD FIREPRO V4800 1GB DDR5 PCI-EX16
or
Nvidia Quadro FX 1800
So which ones handles medium to large assemblies better?
thanks

People who like ATI/AMD will swear that their cards are best.
People who like nVidia will swear that their cards are best.

At the end, it will always work, however, just like some motherboards simply don't work properly with some memories (meaning RAM), it may happen that the AMD chipset based motherboard will prefer an ATI GPU. Not a rule, but it happens that sometimes there are conflicts... If I knew this, what I know now, I'd either pick an Intel based MB and then buy my Quadro, or go for an ATI card. But I was on a very limited budget and had to pick the cheaper. So, ended up with an AMD based MB and nVidia GPU.
Works fine, but it happens often that the GPU (or the drivers for the GPU) make the startup "hang" and the screen stops at "Starting Windows" while the sound indicates the Windows actually properly loaded and started up... After a lot of investigation, found out the thing on the top of my comment...

steinmini,
The PC has a Intel Chip (forgot which one) and 3gb of ram.
I've just been informed that my boss is going with the ATI card, I think he's going for that one because it's cheaper.
Hopefully it will be OK with assemblies.
