Quadro is such a ripoff...

Give it a Thunderbolt 3 port!

I do love the Xeon (and presumably ECC support) in the small package.

And yet, a Quadro does outperform a GeForce in workstation applications.

"And yet, a Quadro does outperform a GeForce in workstation applications."

Only in VERY certain specific applications and just barely.
99% of the rest of what you do with a video card in a workstation environment can be done faster and cheaper with a TitanXP, and if one TitanXP doesn't cut it, you can scale up two or more and STILL be cheaper.

In the end, the price/performance ratio is absolutely insane for a quadro that only shines on a couple of applications. You could easily save $3,000 or more by just grabbing 2 or more TitanXps...

We tested them here several years ago and the low end Quadros were matching the performance of the high end game cards.

Also, that Titan isn't supported by something like Solidworks.
