at first that section was some troll hobby to piss people off but now they are so into it its practically their life. its disturbing to read. they might justify it with "oh ya u just got rused" and laugh but its a pretty forgeted up mentality from anyone elses point of view(thats normal)

there was this game with blocks fighting each other. anyone know the name? it was like 4 teams, all different sized blocks that attack each other until 1 team is left. some sort of evolution or something

titans are made for accurate and stressful modeling and rendering plus the drivers are more optimized.
they dont really operate the same way as your typical gaming card, because they werent made for that
if anyone wants to read on it
http://www.nvidia.com/object/quadro_geforce.html
the features are the interesting parts;
Antialiased Points and Lines
Logic Operations
Example of DCC Application
Clip Regions
Hardware-Accelerated Clip Planes
Memory Managment Optimization

the features are the interesting parts;
Antialiased Points and Lines
Quote
Many workstation applications, particularly in the CAD market, offer the option of using antialiased points and lines (sometimes called “wireframe”). With this option turned on, component edges can be viewed as precisely as possible without encountering the aliasing artifacts that are associated with lines displayed on a rasterized display.
Quote
To address this feature in professional workstation applications, the NVIDIA Quadro GPU family supports antialiased lines in hardware. The result? When antialiased points and lines are used on the NVIDIA Quadro family of GPUs, performance is noticeably higher than on the GeForce family of GPUs.
Logic Operations
Quote
Another hardware feature difference between NVIDIA’s workstation and consumer GPUs is support for OpenGL Logic Operations
Quote
Logic operations are often used by workstation applications in mechanical computer-aided design (MCAD) and digital content creation (DCC) markets. They’re used to draw on top of a 3D scene to make specific features visible without significantly changing or complicating the existing drawing functions or adversely affecting performance.
Example of DCC Application
Quote
A similar example in a DCC application is demonstrated where the XOR logic
operation is used to draw sophisticated cursors, such as those in the paint operation of Alias’ Maya application.
Quote
The XOR logic operation draws the cursor on top of the 3D scene for applications that do not support overplay planes.
If the XOR logic operation is enabled, the performance drop of the NVIDIA Quadro is minimal when compared to that of GeForce. In professional applications where logic operations are used, this equates to significant improvement in performance—a definite productivity benefit.
Clip Regions
Quote
During a typical workflow, workstation applications pop up many windows for menus or alternative views of components or scenes. Unlike consumer applications such as games, these applications often occupy the full screen, so the result is many
overlapping windows. Depending on how they are handled by the graphics hardware, overlapping windows may noticeably affect visual quality and graphics
performance.
Quote
NVIDIA’s Quadro GPU architecture manages the transfer of data between a window and the overall frame buffer by clip regions. When a window has no overlapping windows, the entire contents of the color buffer can be transferred to the frame buffer in a single, continuous rectangular region. However, if other windows overlap the window, the transfer of data from the color buffer to the frame buffer must be broken into a series of smaller, discontinuous rectangular regions. These rectangular regions are referred to as “clip regions.”
Quote
Most consumer applications and games don’t create many pop-up windows, so the GeForce family of GPUs supports only one clip region, whereas the NVIDIA Quadro family support up to eight clip regions.
Hardware-Accelerated Clip Planes
Quote
In many situations, understanding the relationship between components in a complex 3D can be eased by using clip planes. Clip planes allow sections of the geometry to be cut away so the user can look inside solid objects.
Quote
The NVIDIA Quadro family of GPUs supports clip-plane acceleration in hardware—a significant performance improvement when it is used in professional applications.
Memory Managment Optimization
Quote
Another feature offered by the NVIDIA Quadro family of GPUs is memory management optimization, which efficiently allocates and shares memory resources between concurrent graphics windows and applications. In many situations, this feature directly affects application performance, and so offers demonstrable benefits over the consumer-oriented GeForce GPU family.

can someone explain to be why people casually refer to the 3GB barrier as just 4GB? even the wiki page does so itself even when the range doesn't even touch 4GB. (32 bit 3/4GB limit thing)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3_GB_barrier
but i actually learned something. i wasnt aware of these things;
and most importantly

The exact barrier varies by motherboard and I/O device configuration, particularly the size of video RAM; it may be in the range of 2.75 GB to 3.5 GB
Quote
It is a common misconception that 32-bit processors and operating systems are limited to 4 GB (232 bytes) of RAM, as were the original 80386DX and other early IA-32 CPUs. Since the 1995 Pentium Pro, almost all modern x86 processors can in fact already address up to 64 GB (236 bytes) RAM via physical address extension (PAE).
Quote
Chipsets and motherboards allowing more than 4 GB of RAM with x86 processors do exist, but in the past, most of those intended for other than the high-end server market supported only 4 GB of RAM.
and most importantly
Quote
In Microsoft's "non-server", or "client", x86 editions of Microsoft Windows: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1, the 32-bit (x86) versions of these are able to operate x86 processors in PAE mode, and do so by default as long as the CPU present supports the NX bit. Nevertheless, these operating systems do not permit addressing of physical memory above the 4 GB address boundary. This is not an architectural limit; it is a limit imposed by Microsoft via license enforcement routines as a workaround for device driver compatibility issues that were discovered during testing.
