Hello,
I am writing a report on hardware requirements and in my search for references, I’ve found links to a white paper written by Nvidia and published on their website titled “NVIDIA Quadro vs. GeForce GPUs White Paper”.
Links currently do not work, and I am unable to find this document anywhere. It may not be specifically required for my report, but in an attempt to go further into detail, I’d like to reference this document as it will heavily push forward a number of key recommendations I might outline in my report as far as choosing a hardware solution.
Does anyone know where I can find this document?
The document existed. I saw it with my naked eye. I’ve tried to find it on my machine, but I had no luck. However, it was very, very old. I think they on porpouse retired the document, because almost everything doesn’t apply anymore. I think it could be better to visit the latest whitepapers on Turing and Ampere technology because even the Quadro branding is disappearing. For years, and years, the development community and even the more superficial game reviewers have been asking Nvidia to say clearly the differences between the consumer and the enterprise products, but there’s no document for that as I know. But, I can talk clearly about the one big difference that you can see it too in the computer hardware field. Consumer products use the same processors as the enterprise products, but Intel or AMD have some benchmarks. Not all the processors have equal metrics of performance. If you extract Core i 7 processors from the same silicon source, some will have better perfomance and those are for the enterprise market. They are on the same range of perfomance, but are not the same quality as those that ends on the consumer market. This sounds to me as some sci-fi. I’m not on the manufacturing process. But, maybe something like this happens with Nvidia. Both, consumer and enterpise have the same chips, and the same happens, but, but, one important thing is the drivers. Quadro was certified by ISVs and maybe have different development. Now the A line. But other thing is that enterprise prodcuts are made for 24X7 use. Consumer products are bigger and requiere more fans and not intended to be used 24X7. I remember something about floating point precision in the document you say, but maybe this is an overcomed milestone. These are just some ideas. Best regards.
Also, maybe you will find useful this document developed by HP.

I forgot about the ECC memory found on Enterprise products. Some people may found it not as useful, but anyway.
Regards. This is for Qaudro and GTX. But maybe now there are other things.
Yeah, I was doing an assignment, which I already submitted. I got 100% so the document wasn’t needed in the end. I was kind of wanting to be absolutely thorough in my work, so one of the directions I was going to take this in was something like this document, a comparison. And the content of the assignment was for a hypothetical computer configuration. A minimum requirement and then recommendations.
When doing assignments like this, there is a lack of peer reviewed documents to go by, or they are difficult to find, or they are located somewhere which is difficult to obtain. This document was referenced by a software package in it’s recommendations for 3D modelling design. But, there was no file at the link. Dead link.
