What are the advantages of Quadro and Telsa boards over GeForce cards?
At a high level, GeForce products are designed for the ultimate gaming performance, Tesla is designed for the best compute performance and capabilities, and Quadro is a superset of both the best in graphics and compute. While each GPU family has different features, for GPU ray tracing the primary difference is in reliability and maximum scene size. NVIDIA oversees the manufacturing of its professional products (Quadro and Tesla), ensuring each product is available for three years and warranted for three years. Consumer products (GeForce) are manufactured by numerous companies and have much less availability and warranty. NVIDIA’s professional products may have slower clock rates than their comparable consumer products to fit within the power constraints and reliability needs of workstations and server rooms. Quadro and Tesla products also offer much more memory than GeForce products, allowing far larger 3ds Max scenes to be accelerated by the GPU. NVIDIA only warranties Tesla and Quadr
