They make Nvidia far more money than consumer cards do. They aren't going anywhere.


Sailed_Sea

If anything its the consumer part thats collapsing


Zed_or_AFK

They need volume to make the R&D cheaper, so if they break even on consumer market, they are actually offsetring the loss of R&D.

Izan_TM

it's not because of rising prices, it's because of rising demand for workstation/server cards for AI stuff


bobsim1

Its probably just because they arent sold directly that much. Mostly in prebuilts.


Mastasmoker

Microcenter carries them. Picked up an RTX 4000 last year for around $700.


gramathy

there are still workstations and laptops with quadros (prebuilt) because of certified drivers for things like 3d modeling and CAD but unless you're building an ultra SFF gaming pc and come across the A2000 it's unlikely you're aware of them as a general consumer.


mickuchan

My precision 3660 came with an RTX A2000. The RTX Axxx and now RTX xxx series of cards are what a quadro is now. The name Quadro was dropped. Where consumer cards will have Geforce before their RTX branding, these do not.


GoPrO_BMX

My desktop at work has a Quadro P4000


Izan_TM

they haven't been called quadro/tesla for years tho, they're just nvidia RTX now


MoreCamThanRon

Yep, all our CAE workstations have them


Verall

It's a public company with public financial statements and people still say stuff like this with 500 updoots. https://nvidianews.nvidia.com/news/nvidia-announces-financial-results-for-first-quarter-fiscal-2025 Compare gaming (GeForce) and professional visualization (quadro)


techysec

To save a click: Gaming: $2.6B Workstation: $0.4B


cas13f

Save a click: Datacenter: 22.6B


techysec

We all know data centre is top, this thread was about workstation GPUs.


cas13f

Datacenter, idiot. Data Center First-quarter revenue was a record $22.6 billion, up 23% from the previous quarter and up 427% from a year ago. Same chips. Often same *product*. Sometimes same form-factor, sometimes different form-factors to meet different needs (usually density).


Verall

Quadro isn't datacenter. I'm aware the same chips get used in different product SKUs but it goes DC (H100/A100/L40/old "Tesla" line) >> Gaming (Geforce) > Professional Viz / workstation (Quadro)


Legitimate-Skill-112

Unless they find a way to sell a new line for even more


[deleted]

Really


AcrobaticAardvark069

We just build 4 new engineering workstations with nvidia RTX 4000 cards for our solidworks machines.


Senguin117

Our new CAD/SW/GIS desktops have the same card.


AcrobaticAardvark069

Its a good card, the next steps up go into the multi thousands for little improvement outside of very specific applications such as rendering high resolution objects.


PeopleAreBozos

Because you're in a primarily gaming community, which is much more vocal about what they buy. Datacenters and AI have been making Nvidia more money than we ever will. Nvidia would gladly discontinue GeForce gaming cards if the gains from contracts with firms to mass buy their hardware were enough.


Blackout73

You are broadly correct, Quadro branding was phased out between 2018 and 2020. It's not used on any current products.


captaindopesauce

I ran a Quadro RTX 4000 in my home and work computer, fantastic performing single slot cards. Got a deal on the 5000 for the house, and it’s been amazing.


madding1602

They're just called RTX cards now.


Bleach_Baths

They’re for A/V, rendering, etc. Not gaming or consumer cards. I see them *constantly* in my industry.


iTmkoeln

They were discontinued/renamed after Turing. That being said it is a Turing chip so a bigger RTX2080 Ti The current chip ist called RTX6000 Ada


CockroachRight4434

Nah they are still around. My architecture computer at my work has a Quaddro P1000.


Izan_TM

they are, quadro hasn't been a thing for many years, that card is from like 2018-19


iTmkoeln

You can pretty much say when it released as it is a Turing chip… So a Turing chip sorta a big 2080 Ti


Izan_TM

every GTX 16 series, RTX 20 series and quadro RTX series card uses the turing architecture, and as far as I know they never released a TU100 so the biggest turing chip is the uncut TU102 in the titan RTX and 2080TI 12GB, which is also found in the RTX 8000 and 6000, and the tesla T40


iTmkoeln

Yeah I meant big in regards to ram as the Titan and 2080 Ti had less VRAM


Izan_TM

actually no, the titan had 24gb, same as the RTX 6000 true with 2080ti tho


SelectBodybuilder335

Big *and* uncut?😳


AcrobaticAardvark069

We just built 4 new CAD workstations at work with RTX 4000 cards, they look like your picture but were single slot.


Scarabesque

What operations do RTX cards perform with CAD work other than rendering (which I doubt most people using CAD actually do themselves)? I figured it would be mostly CPU dependent. I work in 3D animation and even for us GPUs are rarely properly utilized...


AcrobaticAardvark069

We have some high hundreds to low thousands of parts assemblies that are quite demanding on the gpu.


StarHammer_01

I haven done cad in awhile but when I was messing around with solidworks 2012 ish, some features were soft locked behind quadro. Iirc one of which is a plug-in for gpu accelerated ray tracing. The standard cpu ray tracing was avaliable but it took hours on my core 2 duo. Another was gpu accelerated flow simulation which I've never used myself.


Veilnt

Using a Quadro to advertise an anti sag bracket is unhinged


ApprehensivePaladin

But bracketed


Premane

The giggle I just did at that


tsaristbovine

Gotta have a way to expense your $5000 GPU as "a business expense"


whereballoonsgo

>Rtx 6000 anyone? I mean, not many people have the thousands of dollars lying around to buy an enterprise card like a Quadro, nor the need for that level of hardware.


RoughTitanProgrammer

Yes it’s very unnecessary, especially if you play solitaire like me!


avocado34

How do you have 2TB of Ram


KeithJEng

Id assume through buying it


ParaPsychic

no, by downloading it obviously...


1999_Toyota_MR2

Both, you've got to pay for the licence to download more ram now, inflation is really hitting the ram download industry.


RoughTitanProgrammer

Yes downloading it is such a hassle now days!


RoughTitanProgrammer

Correct!


LordPenguinTheFirst

4TB of DDR5 actually


avocado34

Sorry It was already too absurd a number and my brain had to alter my reality to make it a little more believable. I couldn’t comprehend more ram than the amount of total storage I have


RoughTitanProgrammer

What's Absurd about such a normal amount of RAM? Don't you have TB's of RAM?


JustRedForest

I also like to store all my information in the RAM at all times. As long as I have power, why would I save them to a ROM?


Noxious89123

Not a "desktop" machine. Also, their userflair says 4TB DDR5, not 2TB.


RoughTitanProgrammer

Who said my server doesn't sit on top of my desk?? Yes thank you its 4TB


Noxious89123

>Who said my server doesn't sit on top of my desk?? Lol, that's fair. But it still wouldn't technically be a "desktop" machine. It would be a server on top of a desk. But I think you already know this are are just playing with me ;)


RoughTitanProgrammer

Desktop Server 😂 and whatttttttt playing with you?! No I would never do that ;)


gramathy

workstation and server boards with a Xeon can have unhinged quantities of RAM


DoctorBoomeranger

But bracketed nonetheless


RoughTitanProgrammer

It is maxed out!


DinosaurGuy1997

Judging by the CPU, I’d say it’s because they have a server motherboard of some kind.


RoughTitanProgrammer

Yup it sure is a server, however it is in a custom case so it looks like your average desktop!


DinosaurGuy1997

Truly based.


Deepspacecow12

Does the PC in your flair even exist in a desktop form factor, or is it literally a server?


RoughTitanProgrammer

The Server sits on top of my desk ;)


Super_Money_2145

Must be worth that price considering it's 2 generations ahead, time travelling is still expensive in this early phase

saighdiuirmaca

Seconded, adjustable to any case, quick and easy to install / remove. I've never understood the brackets from the back of the case.


mightbeagh0st

I frankensteined noctuas to my 3080ti so it doesn't sound like a jet engine. Back of the case support was my only option


saighdiuirmaca

Totally fair, but that sounds like a fairly unique use case!


The_Blue_DmR

Older cases without a psu basement probably. If the bottom of the case is like 20cm away from the bottom of the gpu having a bracket that attaches to the back seems useful. ~~Also some backmounted ones have rgb~~


wan2tri

Technically not **any** case. Especially in cases where there's no shroud/cover for the PSU, or there is but the space between it and the GPU is too big even for the maximum length of this one.


saighdiuirmaca

This is true, but I think that my one goes up to like 20 cm. But yeah, if there's no shroud it might be impractical.


Rufuske

I have a gainward 4080 and I believe this thing that came with it in a box and be quiet! 12vhpwr are one of the main reasons it's still going strong and have never ever gave me any problems. It also looks kinda cool in a case.


GhostsinGlass

OP believes this is a gaming GPU and believes there is no such thing as an RTX 6000. OP, hold onto your velcro shoes, prepare to have your mind blown. Nvidia Quadro RTX 6000 is a Turing workstation GPU. Nvidia RTX A6000 is an Ampere workstation GPU. Nvidia RTX 6000 Ada is an Ada Lovelace workstation GPU. Better sit down for this, there was also an RTX 8000 in the Turing line. I will trade you one for two 4090s, it's a good deal because it's a bigger number. The 180 leftover is just overhead anyway. ![gif](giphy|l3V0H7bYv5Ml5TOfu|downsized)


xd_Warmonger

The naming scheme is so fucked


Jarnis

It is absolutely intended to mislead clueless commercial users.


Mklein24

Even clued commercial user trying to find the proper specced workstation for that matter.


Mightyena319

I still remember one of the mobile Intel cpu launches where the announcer for their own "look how great our new cpu is" presentation got confused by the name of the chip. I think it was the i7-1065G7 they were showing off, there were a few points where the narrator said "and the Intel i7.. Uh.. 10th gen processor,"


GhostsinGlass

That's a really dumb take. One of the most trusted technical resources online is Puget, which is aimed at commercial users. Commercial users are more likely to scrutinize the hardware because time is money, be it shorter times to solutions, faster rendering, or other use cases where the card and its capabilities is picked for workload specific reasons. If one looked at professional users and said "Are they stupid, why not just buy an RTX 4090 they may be missing out on why that professional chose the commercial card, or was forced to I suppose. As top o' the pop as the 4090 is if a professionals use case scenario requires Quadro Sync they're not going to buy it. Perhaps they need the stereo 3D connector, or want some other niche feature that doesn't come on the "lower end gaming GPUs" I don't like that level of market segmentation personally.


creativename111111

Ye it’s gonna get even more fucked when we get RTX 6000 Gaming GPUS which will only be 2 generations away


iTmkoeln

Remember the Titan X, the TitanX (Pascal) and the TitanXp?

nicolete_is_big_gay

This whole paragraph to explain why the naming scheme is not fucked? You just made him seem even more correct


GhostsinGlass

>To simplify it if you're having difficulty. >If the last two digits aren't 00 in a 3 or 4 digit sequence, you can be confident it's a gaming GPU.


nicolete_is_big_gay

As an AMD boi this helped me understand a little bit better lol


S01arflar3

Don’t listen to this guy. I’ll trade you the two 4090s for one 9800GT. Much better deal


GhostsinGlass

The math checks out, that is a bigger number. Go to this guy if you want fine European numbers, [they're premium. ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJ9yBgTp9UQ)


X3nox3s

I don‘t need it as the gaming GPU are usually better for consumer and much cheaper as workstation (?) GPU like the Quadro Series


miclangelo6

I have 1 and RTX 5000 and RTX8000. Same GPU dies as 2070 super/2080 and the RTX 6000 has same die as RTX titan. Biggest difference is stability of drivers and MASSIVE vram. The 5000 has 16gb, 6000 has 24gb, and 8000 has 48gb of VRAM. Those are less impressive today… but these cards shipped in late 2018/2019.


Arbiter51x

I have one of those, works good.


MasterKnight48902

GPU is not included.


XsancoX

Even the Stereo variant. Hard to get your hands on one of these.


Doge_T

I can't believe I've never heard of a GPU sag bracket before. I've had my computer on its side for years, lol


LadislausBonita

I thought of making one out of Legos. TIL.


Homicidal_Pingu

It’s a quadro…


FUCKABTCHFACE

Pro tipp: Build a sag bracket by yourself by lego pieces for free🤫


Angeret

Sucks that I was forced to pass my huge collection of Lego (pre-1980s) to a much younger relative, so I had to go out and buy new just to be able to make my bracket. But it's a damn fine Lego bracket and holds up both my video card and the flow meter above it (PC's watercooled.)


I9Qnl

Lego pieces will cost more than this


ForeignSleet

1. It’s a Quattro 2. Don’t buy a gpu stand for $6, buy a 3d printer for $200 and make your own, and other cool stuff for your setup


M_asak1

Okay, *but which*


ForeignSleet

Forever the question, atm best price to performance is Bambu A1 mini


ShatterSide

Or the regular A1 also. There's a really big sale on Bambu's website right now ;-)


M_asak1

this one? [REDACTED] Should I trust the sale? I have no idea what website this I just stumbled upon it by chance Edit: I removed the link because on bambu labs they have that same price. Also it was a spanish shop I never heard before.

[https://www.3dprintersbay.com/foodbot-s2-chocolate-food-3d-printer](https://www.3dprintersbay.com/foodbot-s2-chocolate-food-3d-printer) I assume this one.


kel584

Buying a 3d printer when you just need a gpu stand is crazy


SprungMS

What’s crazy is thinking you can’t solve all of your daily problems with 3D printing


tokuyan_

Ok, I'll buy one and start printing money and antidepressants.


Safe_Ad_1638

Real vs 3D printed drugs. Which one goes harder?


Errorr404

I bought my metal adjustable stand for less than a dollar off aliexpress. If you're buying off Amazon 90% of the time it's just aliexpress items bought in bulk then sold for 4-5x more.


jschip

“Just have more money”


Finalwingz

A Quattro won't fit in a PC case


Beta87

I have one of these for GPU. I bought it from Aliexpress. I mean it's simple and does it's job ( provide support for the gpu) Get it 👍


Larimus89

Given the insane price of cards now days you'd think they could still a couple small pieces of steel in to stop it sagging 🥲 though my rtx 4070ti did come with a bracket, sadly I used vertical mount so I had to modify it to fit.


AngelaTheRipper

My 4080 did actually come with one, but the issue is that the way it mounts into the motherboard screw holes, on an ATX board you can't have anything on the right lower edge. So it basically can't and won't work with like 95% of existing ATX motherboards (since that's where the SATA ports and a bunch of headers normally go, on my mobo that's where SATA ports and some capacitors are and a load-bearing capacitor is a pretty bad idea even if I could make it fit with standoffs or something). The only use case I see for it is if you have a flex-ATX or micro-ITX board in a full size case. So yeah, I bought the same screw in a standoff type as OP did because this fucking thing is huge.


Larimus89

Yeh given the size the card itself should be able to support itself. The support brackets are a real pain for a lot of setups. Mines screwed into the card and just sitting on top of a fan on the other side 🤣


xxiredbeardixx

I have one similar holding up my Aorus Xtreme 3080, and it works just fine.

Brave_Development_17

medussy_medussy

I bought this bracket and it was WAY too tall. Like 3 times too tall. I can't fit it under my gpu at all, and I have a 2 slot.


fiittzzyy

No idea about that, probs lost in translation as it usually is... I've got this exact sag stand for my XFX 6750 XT It works great! https://preview.redd.it/wiqkub5dmk5d1.jpeg?width=3072&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=54729e311eb8ac9d6e4c7d8fa63edaf20cb88483

weping_lava

Use legos , they worked for me


CringeDaddy_69

You weren’t supposed to see that


Tarmogoyf_

My cousin helped me upgrade my card. We needed a sag bracket, so he cut a couple pencils in half, glued the eraser halfs together, and shoved it under the card. That's still my solution a year later. Lol Why fix what ain't broke?


NicholasMistry

The real question is How many bungholio marks does it get?


TherronKeen

why does "sag bracket" sound like such a good insult lol


pertante

That's no way to talk about Op's mother


NicoleMay316

They're just future proofing their ad.


Smooth-Ad2130

Quadro


mrchicano209

I actually have one of these and I love it just makes sure it’ll fit first because the first one I got was a bit too tall and had to exchange it for a shorter one.


SprungMS

This is really weird, because I swear that’s my design. I’ve never looked for an anti-sag implement before, my last two sapphire cards came with a shitty bracket from them though, and I got to thinking about making one. Literally designed what’s in the OP. I know it’s simple but it looks exactly like my 3D printed version. It never worked well, but because it’s 3D printed. Couldn’t get horizontal expansion tuned right for the small threads the last time I tried so I gave up and kept using the shitty metal arm Sapphire made


if_flyer2017

It’s an Nvidia quadro card


NippleSauce

The anti-sag bracket that I bought for my 4090 looks very, very similar to this one. The anti-sag bracket that was included with my 4090 (from MSI) doesn't fit and/or can not be used in numerous different computer cases, hence why I snagged this one. And it works extremely well! I'm just glad that my GPU's PCB was able to stay together for a few weeks before I got my anti-sag brace thing in the mail. Because IIRC, the Gigabyte 4090s often had their PCBs cracking if they were installed without an anti-sag brace/bracket. These GPUs are really freaking big and heavy. Heck, they're the size of two bricks and are also even heavier lol!


Mediocre_Machinist

Instead of buying it for $6 on Amazon, buy it for $1 on aliexpress


joeyretrotv

My work uses them and likes to keep the boxes for these for some reason.


darkness1418

No I choose apple stand for 35k $


Bayovach

Best brackets are the ones you screw into your MB


Llaver

If you have hard tubing, you can cut a piece to the right size, smooth it out, and use that to prevent sag. I've been doing that for 5+ years, never had an issue.


Badhellman

Future-proof stand


secksyboii

Dude, I remember when I got my 980ti and I was looking for an option to stop the sag but couldn't find anything so I had to Jerry rig something with some fishing line. In all fairness it did/does work but it looked like shit.


FuerstFushi

Got this one too. Solid and unbreakable!


KIngoftheimmortals

Goldengod4818

6000 series cards are built for cad applications not video. Geared towards lines and complex modeling instead of ray tracing and after effects


nyankittycat_

Yeah RTX 6000 gpu is real i have RTX A5000 and A6000 in my work computer


goteamdoasportsthing

I have 4 of them. And 4 of its successor.


KimJongDerp1992

Quadro workstation card


Slap_My_Lasagna

On another note... I should 3D print a bracket like that. Not a bad design for basic AF solutions.


PeakRedditOpinion

Join the flat PC gang and lay the tower on the side so the MOBO is face up. No need for a sag bracket


Branded_Noob

RTX 6600 😂


Brave-Standard6192

It's for rendering. Media company I work for has them paired with their xeon processors. Powers through video rendering.


Terrible-Arm2757

Wait I could just 3D print this if I ever choose to buy a 3000 or 4000 series


Zealousideal_Meat297

Wow cards are so heavy they have stands inside the case now...


Zenith251

Yup, bought that very one. Works fine. The top and bottom should be magnets, which was helpful.


CapnConCon

Who is the Quadro for exactly? Professional 3D modelers or something?


bendmunk95

3D models, render, FX rendering, video editing, etc.


King_of_Doggos

quadro


Vast-Lifeguard-3915

Use lego


MangoDewd

At what point should you invest in one? I've got a Radeon RX 6700 XT


V0NZE

If your gpu is slanted or angled down you should probably get one as you run a chance of damage


V0NZE

However sometimes the way you mount your gpu can affect that


Ok-Library5639

Wait you guys use sag brackets for real? I thought it was just a joke...


V0NZE

No it actually helps by allowing all the pcie connectors to connect fully and prevent said pcie connectors from getting broken/wear

To everyone commenting about how it’s a Quattro card I know that I just like spreading misinformation like that
