DAAMIT set to hit Nvidia Hard in the professional market
« on: September 13, 2007, 11:01:23 AM »
This is a market that Nvidia has usually DOMINATED with its Quadro line of cards. Now whilst workstation class cards aren't usually good gaming cards, what this does show is the strength of the R600 architecture as we all know both the Quadro and FireGL variants are tweaked versions of their desktop counterparts.

3D Professor, also known to this world as a man with longest signature in a mail (excluding ones that come with non-disclosure contract as big as Nvidia's) got his hands on AMD's latest baby, ATI FireGL V7600, based on R630 GPU. This chip is a full-R600 with half a memory controller, ie. a 256-bit wide one. However, this did not stop the 320 scalar units in the GPU giving Nvidia a serious pounding, especially in Maya. Seeing over 50 per cent performance difference from a 500 quid part was something that we estimated could happen, but it should not have happened. Now, it seems that ATI has a real racer in store.

Check out the website: http://www.3dprofessor.org/Reviews%20Folder%20Pages/FireGLV7600/V7600Pt1.htm

Basically, a mid range card besting the creme de la creme of the nvidia camp in 5 out of 8 benchmarks... the workstation market is QUITE a lucrative one as the profit margins in this arena are RIDICULOUSLY higher than the desktop world.. I mean heck, its a MID ranged card costing $1000USD, so you get the idea.

i can attest to how ridiculously lucrative this market is.

i was once asked to configure two machines for the steupiddd linux guys in engineering, needed to be a windows platform for them to do their models on so no stupid matrox and they were last as too wat to buy for a windows machine.

They were suggesting oxygen and quadro cards in excess of 1200 usd

i was like wtf!!!

no no no no linux NABS!!! let me configure the damn thing.

i ordered two nvidia cards, and soft modded them to quadros
at a FRACTION of the price of the quadros

did the benchmarks and perf tests and the softmodded cards scored maybe 20 points less than their 1200+ usd breadrens.

then of course the linux boys started acting up spewing some archaic code garbage at me and i was like watever nabs

time to get with the program and enter the 21st century
nabs.

blah blah blah....

lol @ "spewing some archaic code garbage"

when I had created my video editing PC thread you yap about all this. Not that I disagree... any decent "gaming" video card 256MB or higher will do for video editing now.

They probably still hate you now...

but as a side note... how come you ent post any benchies in the benchie ranking thread?.... ah WANT yuh to try to whip my "AMD Thingy"... LOL pfft!!

Lol boy Sax, I already told you, only systems WORTH benchmarking we want to see in the benchie thread. When men have mixed and matched memory and whatever crazy-@ss configs in machines and cpu's that may have very well been around back in the days of ww2 that fold a couple WU's a week and generate enough heat to warm a medium sized home in the harshest of winters, all that constitutes "systems unworthy of benchamrking". :lol: *whistles* no names called.

But I digress, I've always thought that ordinary gaming cards could be used to do the job of their workstation counterparts since most times they are more powerful than workstation graphics. Even if gaming cards dont do the job as fast, it cant be that much slower than workstation graphics. If I remember correctly, the only advantage they have is one or two more aa and other features.
