If the computer hardware god/goddess came along and gave you $770 cash....
plus tax if applicable and shipping (no net out of pocket for you)...
would you buy this card ?

If that god/goddess did, sure. Since I'm not that lucky, I guess I'll pass.

(34,189 posts)Way, WAY more than I can ever need or justify. There was another Quadro that was "only" $1800, but I talked myself out of it. My whole custom built new computer only cost $1200.
32 GB RAM, AMD FX-8320 Vishera 3.5GHz (4.0GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 125W Eight-Core Desktop Processor, ASUS M5A99X EVO R2.0 AM3+ AMD 990X SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard, two 120GB SSD (one for the OS, one for my Photoshop scratch disc), two SATA drives, one 3 TB, one 4TB. New case, new power supply, new SATA DVD burner. Win 7 Pro.
My Photoshop no longer runs out of resources when scanning and editing hundreds of old photos. Most of what I am doing these days is scanning family pictures and documents, some two hundred years old. When scanning to TIFFs at 600DPI or better, my old computer just couldn't handle more than a dozen or so, then I'd have to reboot and start over.
Next to upgrade my monitor - though I need to move my old 19" over from the old computer - the 21" and the 19" together may be sufficient, LOL!
