Quador FX 580 is $154 on J&R, instore pickup = no shippingĬomparable "real workstations" that are certified Quadro FX 580 is $136 on B&H, instore pickup = no shipping Thanks in advance for any help and insight. The problem is, with the Firepro V4800 (which is about 20% more expensive and ~60% more expensive if PSU is replaced), will the computer be the bottleneck? I think it would also need a new PSU.Īnother thing is given that it is a Micro-ATX motherboard, would a Quadro FX 380 LP (which has OpenGL 3.2 support but not shader model 5.0) or Firepro V3800 be more reasonable for the power and space constraints? #Nvidia quadro fx 580 512mb gddr3 graphic card benchmark software#My concern is that the Quadro FX does not have OpenGL 3.2, OpenCL, or shader model 5.0 since it is an older generation which may be a problem with new software in the next few years. Hardware-wise, the quadro FX has half the memory and is running GDDR3 instead of the faster GDDR5 in the Firepro. The 400 stream processors of the Firepro compared to the Quadro's 32 CUDA cores are impressive, but the previous generation (V5700) also had 320 stream processors and still lost in all CAD benchmarks. (See )There are no benchmarks comparing it to the Quadro FX 580. There are many articles stating the Firepro V4800 (which uses the Radeon HD 5670 core) is much better than the previous generations and several people on this forum stated it was faster than the previous generation's midrange V5700. According to the core it is using, which is found in the Geforce 9500GT it is outdated. The Quadro FX 580 won by a landslide in Solidworks in Specview and in anything with engineering. I read reviews comparing the Quadro FX 580 with the older generation Firepro V5700 and such. MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1600x900 (20" HP 2010i LCD that came with bundle which is unfortunately only 24 bit and not 30 bit color depth) OVERCLOCKING: reliability is a concern so no overclocking ![]() PARTS PREFERENCES: I don't mind if it is ATI Firepro or Nvidia Quadro FX, performance is what matters ![]() ![]() PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: B&H, J&R, newegg, amazon, bestbuy It is DX 10.1 and has 256MB memory.īUDGET RANGE: Given a 170 dollar budget, which card is better? ($50 for better PSU if needed) #Nvidia quadro fx 580 512mb gddr3 graphic card benchmark 720p#The ATI Radeon HD 4200 onboard is fine for Microsoft Office and 720p video but is an atrocity when it comes to professional applications such as Solidworks, ANSYS, and 3DSMax. USAGE: Solidworks, ANSYS, Fluent, CATIA, ProE, Autodesk Inventor, COSMOS, ALGOR, Mastercam, LabVIEW, MATLAB Motherboard specifications: 785G mobo specs * 40W TDP on the Quadro FX 580 (according to the Nvidia site) The aim is a sub $900 entry-level workstation for engineering apps.ĦGB DDR3 memory (upgradable to 16GB) įoxconn AMD 785G Mobo, with ATI Radeon HD4200 256MB DX10.1 Ģ50W PSU (will swap to 400W or 500W if necessary) APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: The reference computer is a HP Pavilion p6516f-b package (it was on sale at Staples for $630) purchased July 4th. ![]()
