Building A High End Quadro FX Workstation

Posted by Hemos on from the making-it-faster-and-better dept.

An anonymous reader writes "FiringSquad has an article detailing some of the differences between building a high-end workstation and a high-end gaming system. They go into things like ECC memory, and the difference between professional and gaming 3D cards. The Quadro FX 2000 coverage is particularly interesting -- the system with the Quadro FX 2000 was never louder than 55 dB!"

    great article? it's a shit article written by a pants creaming box nerd trying to sound well informed with some regurgitated marketing hype. Why the fuck else would he do game benchmarks? What about the gfx cards he didn't mention, like those from 3Dlabs?

    totally boring, totally uninformative - nothing you couldn't surmise yourself after a quick perusal of THG and a couple of price lists.

  2. 55 dB not loud? by hcdejong · · Score: 0, Troll

    Computers should be silent. Any noise at all is too much, and 55 dB is way too much.
