Okay it's time to write a review about Quadro M2000, I purchased this item on April 26, 2016. But wrote review now, May 21 - 2016.
The reason is a long test time. I made a lot of tests to make sure, about this little piece of ***t.
I do this tests with real work, to be a Absolutely Objective, about this GPU Card
and I am really disappointed! I watching results and do not believe my eyes, wonder why this card called Workstation card?
Until I bought this Quadro M2000 card, i used - Gainward GTX 570 Phantom. 1280 MB GDDR5, bought in Jan 2011.
So I made comparison with this old gaming card. I specially bought Z77 Extreme4 motherboard to do comparison.
I put Quadro M200 on first PCI slot, and GTX 570 in second slot. (I did the tests individually to, one card on the board)
Here are results. Vray RT Render Time:
- Quadro M2000 - 12 minutes 44 seconds
- GTX 570 - 8 minutes 41 seconds
- Palit GTS 450 - 13 minutes 21 seconds (This card was on another motherboard but I made render with same scene) Price $140, September 2010
- Dual mode. GTX 570 + M2000 - 5 minutes 28 seconds
Win 7 x64. Intel i7 3770. 32 GB, SSD.
Also I made lot of other tests.
The Foundry NUKE 10 (Motion Blur, 3D, Playback 4K Sequence and other features) slower than GTX 570.
3DS Max, Particle Flow, Thinking Particles, FumeFX Real Time. Slower than GTX 570, 1300000 Poliygons - 3DS Max viewport also slower on Quadro, M2000: 32-39 FPS. GTX 570: 40 - 62 FPS.
Houdini FX - simulations. Slower than GTX 570
So if you are 3D or 2D Generalist working on VFX or made a GPU render, I do not recommend This card!
If you are just Photoshop user, this card is for you.
They wrote about this card on Website: "Delivering incredible creative experiences across a variety of professional 3D applications. It features 4 GB of ultra-fast on-board memory." This is ridiculous. Think twice before buy it. I regret that I bought it.
