Hi,
Thanks in advance for any insight. Plans are to buy new computer hopefully soon and the hardware needs are for both 3ds Max and UE4 programs. With regards to the new 4.23 release and Raytracing Enabled, would UE4 benefit performance wise with a Quadro RTX Card Over the Geoforce RTX Cards now?
(Comparisons would be medium to top range of Quadro RTX vs Geoforce RTX I would imagine -
a 5000 quadro RTX or 6000 Quadro RTX compared to a 2080Ti or 2080S super card respectively?
Thanks!
Most likely not. Currently Quatro series usually runs on same chips as GeForce in gamer perspective they practically same cards if same chip is used, primery difference that make them hell more expensive is ridicules amount of memory they have with error correction (ECC) support, they are dedicated for large scale rendering and high preformace machine learning which require this amount of memory. It also have some workstation features like multi GPU grid display and stuff like that and NVLink which currently can be only used in GPU computing
Or else you plan to do some ridiculesly large scenes in UE4 which normal user won’t be able to run anyway (so it only good for linear media production) Quatros are waste of money. You wont get much extra performance from ray tracing alone to justify the price if you want cream of the crop and money to throw then consider Titan RTX as it using full unlocked version (all cores active) of TU102 chip which is fastest chip you can get right now (Super version are supposedly faster but current released variants of it are not fast as Titan RTX or Quatros) it exact same chip that powers Quadro RTX 6000 and 8000 and even runs on same clocks.
It also quite weird question to ask here, just look on benchmarks and compare ;p
Also recommend Wikipedia pages on geforce lines as they have nice tables showing lot of specs easy to compare:
Hi,
Thank you for the clarification. It does not appear that I need a quadro card
for 3ds max - the other program I use either, as you mentioned the error memory
is for very large scenes that I will not be doing. The Titan Rtx would be perfect
accept, building a portable one is very heavy and pricey. I got to thinking about
the quadro 6000 rtx because Asus has their Proart studionbook one is set to release by
the end of this quarter. I have read that it will only weigh 6 lbs and performance is
only 10% less than a desktop version. It will be interesting to see how much space
it will have? 1tb is a not a lot these days.
Again thanks for the clarification and I think I will keep waiting.
