Aberax Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Yeah they use geforce quadro's for cad at my work. Pretty good cards for rendering 3d models in complex detail. Not good for gaming ;P -D Not to mention pricey, last time I looked...about 6 months ago, they were around the $1k mark or higher.

Race__24 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Yeah they use geforce quadro's for cad at my work. Pretty good cards for rendering 3d models in complex detail. Not good for gaming ;P -D What CAD systems are they using? It will be used for predominantly CAM applications, Edgecam to be specific. With a bit of CATIA and SolidWorks thrown in for good measure. Tool-path verification will be what i need the graphics power for. Unless it is coded to support some GPU computing, which I doubt. Is it worth going for a workstation card even if the program isn't specifically supported with drivers? Or would I be better off spending the same coin on a gaming card which will have more brute power, however not as fine tuned?

Dohmar Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 What CAD systems are they using? Heaps. Wonderware, Autocad, Altium Designer, etc... Is it worth going for a workstation card even if the program isn't specifically supported with drivers? Or would I be better off spending the same coin on a gaming card which will have more brute power, however not as fine tuned? Depends on the software - I'd check with the manufacturer. No point spending $1k on a card that the software cant use. -D Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/108819-computer-jargon/page/193/#findComment-5656229 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aberax Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 I asked Adam a few weeks ago to change my Internet Plan to their new plans - AdamBasicChoice 100GB, which is up to 20Mbps. So my account rolled over the other day, and I hadn't received my extra speed - was a little pissed, so I sent them an email, and they replied saying it was going to take 3-5 days, as the wholesaler still had to apply my upgrade. Well, I got home today from Balgowan, checked my speed, and I am rather happy with it Had torrents going at the time, but I am not going to complain.

Race__24 Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 If your with Adam make sure you up your connection profile. I've got a SNR of 6 and run stable on their second to fastest profile.

I sure noticed the difference over standard. You've also got to watch the error correction, speed and snr often look good on higher profiles but a good chunk of speed can be lost to correction on not so good lines.

"ADSL" will get you 8mbit/1 and "ADSL over POTS G.992.1" 12mbit/1.3 under perfect line conditions. Adam can still tweak the line profile, but you've got to call up to get it done.
