so you may be asking yourself how on earth did Linus tech tips get ahold of a Quadro em 6000 a $5,000 video card and the answer to that is that I'm not going to tell you all top secret no but what I will tell you is but can it run crisis intel skull Canyon Nook features a 6th generation Core i7 processor and Thunderbolt 3 you can learn more at the link in the video description but before I answer the age-old question let's see if we can't figure out exactly what makes a $5,000 graphics card so freakin special tastic I mean it's got a GM 200 Maxwell architecture GPU on it so you can't see it it's on the other side but you go ahead and try good for you that's like your effort over there it's got 3072 cuda cores it's clocked at somewhere around 1 gigahertz a little lower on the base a little higher on the boost it's got whoo look at this 4 DisplayPort outputs so you can have 4 4k displays running off it at the same time also there's lonely old DVI up there that can also run VGA if you're into that sort of thing although I don't think too many people running $5,000 graphics cards can't afford a monitor that was made in the last 10 years in terms of ok you got SLI and sync connectors as well as a stereo connector if you work in stereo 3d content so that's pretty cool and this is really exciting boom the power connector is a single 8 pin on the back of the card over there yes on the back of the card my friends which I guess is important if you're mounting it in a rack mount case where there isn't always clearance for power connectors that come out the side like is popular on desktop models the more you know but hold on a second Linus all that sounds awfully similar to the Titan X a graphics card that costs $4,000 less I mean ok there's an HDMI port instead of DisplayPort and like and it's got an extra power connector on a different spot but this one has like LEDs and what makes this better well we missed one small detail it has 24 gigs of DDR 5 memory and not only that but that memory is capable of running an ECC mode for like super you know less chance of something going bad let's put it on a bitch angels singing so maybe we get like lots of amazing options inside Nvidia control panel deciding how to use our GPU know we can view system topology we can set up mosaic which is like surround and we can we have a dedicated tab for changing the ECC state hard to make this exciting just won a game I'm methodically getting very high right now whatever I didn't change anything screw off let's do the crisis benchmark so the benchmarks over prepare to be amazed and awed and I'm talking like oh not like Oh in Crysis 3 the Quadro and 6000 scores 104 yes even good so we're back at it with the tight necks and I have to confess this feels like a very similar experience okay moment of truth time 105.5 FPS well okay then but come on Linus what were you expecting quadrille cards aren't made for gaming well truthfully that's exactly what I was expecting because while it is true that quadrille cards are not designed for gaming I mean the gaming performance of them is right on the spec sheet the GPU the clock speed it runs at I don't know where this whole myth comes from that quadrille cards are meant for specific workloads in are not meant game and like to know a GPU is a GPU it just means that quadrille cards are also need for other things so let's have a look at some rendering benchmarks or maybe some you know high-end video production benchmarks and see if we can better justify its high price tag okay so this is a octane demo a little outside my comfort zone in terms of products that I hope control-z okay all good render target there we go so we're using let's see 1.6 gigs of memory and we are processing at 7.2 to 7.3 million pixels per second those pixels oh what they are okay well I'm not going to sit here and watch this go for half an hour so let's try something else before we put the tight necks back on DaVinci Resolve let's watch some freaking sharks alright we're getting about 12 frames per second with like denoising on and such again presumably that is very good but I don't know that is very similar that is faster so far that is the same but maybe DaVinci Resolve then I want to see big FPS oh now come on that doesn't even make sense no that can't be right wow that's shark just like a two fish okay so DaVinci Resolve with our 6k footage on a 4k timeline performed much better on the tight necks but of course you could afford much more than one tight necks for the price of an M 6000 let's see if the story changes with more tight Nexus 8 pin to 6 pin to dual molex okay I have used adapters wait what why is this not lighting up is it working is like the light just unplug did someone screw up and not plug in the light on this wait no this doesn't make sense because this was my first one how could that not be working whatever the indicator LEDs might seem to think all three video cards are showing up and we are not running an SLI because a I don't have a 3-way SLI bridge handy and B because that's really not the point of what we're doing we are not looking at gaming performance we are seeing how the Titan X compares to the Quadro in more quadrant like applications three Titan X's is much faster wow that's scaling though look at that it's estimating that it's only going to take about eleven minutes to finish this scene of course I still don't have eleven minutes because when show started 28 minutes ago let's fire up resolve and see how that does you've got to be kidding me I think that would have worked I think we had all three GPUs engaged but we just triggered over current protection I mean the truth of the matter is that none of this really affects the conclusion anyway why does the Quadro M 6000 cost $5,000 in the olden days I would have told you that it's for its F P 64 double precision compute performance because prior to the M series that would have actually been true it performed more like a Tesla in that regard but these days it actually performs just like a g-force there too with 1/32 of the performance of what you can expect in FP 32 computations so if you were say for example doing financial analysis or some kind of physical modeling you wouldn't choose one of these either no my friends the Quadro m 6000 the reason that Nvidia and P and y both refused to send one to me even though I explained that I was going to explain all this that they're not for general consumers they're not for gaming in fact they're not even for this the purpose of these is simple if you need to render scenes that require more than the amount of memory that you'll find on a consumer-grade graphics card you will need to buy one of these so let's say for example your Pixar or you're working on the Angry Birds movie or whatever the case may be if you are anyone else then you would be better served by a bunch of these and like a lifetime supply of M&Ms and maybe throw in a power supply that doesn't trip the OCP when you try to actually engage all of them so that's pretty much it then thanks for watching this episode of holy online is tech tips if you guys dislike this video hit the dislike button but if you liked it hit the like button get subscribed maybe even consider checking out where to buy one of these or maybe a more sensible graphics card we'll have a link in the video description while you're down there you can also check out our merch store where we have cool shirts like this one as well as our community forum where you can ask all of your technology related questions and get answers better answers then no you can't game on a Quadro the true answer is yes you can no you probably shouldn't because you just spent $5,000 for the gaming performance of it and that's ignoring the 980ti which performs exactly the same as the tight necks for $1000 graphics card thanks again for watching see you guys next time
