Nvidia GeForce vs. Quadro GPU

[joestilwell95]

I'm getting close to ready for a new laptop. My understanding of the difference between the GeForce and Quadro GPU's is the that the architecture is the same but the GeForce is designed for speed (more in a gaming environment) and Quadro is designed more for accuracy. Years ago the challenge was speed in getting the 3D views to generate quickly. Are we fast enough that the quality of the generated images is more important?

 

I'd appreciate any feedback.

 

Thanks - Joe

Quadro has never been worth the premium for a Chief Architect only workflow IMO, CA does not utilize the gfx card to this extent
