M4600: Quadro 1000M with IPS or FirePro M5950 without

Hi,

the IPS Display is only available with the Quadro GFX cards, not with the AMD FirePro - what did you mean: is it worth to renounce the ISP for the FirePro?

I doesn't need a gfx card for CAD or other 3D professional use cases, so may be the FirePro is the better choice? Because of faster DDR5 and the HD Audio Controller with 7.1 over Display Port?

Thanks for your help!

 

Well, depends on how badly you want the IPS panel? If you don't need a wide gamut display, going with the WLED display is a good choice...

 

If you are going to be gaming vs. Pro Use (Photoshop, 3d Modeling, etc), I would recommend the FirePro M5950. The faster GDDR5 will make a difference in gaming. I have it in mine, with the standard 'premium' FHD panel.

Compared to IPS panel, I can notice the lack of color depth and accuracy, but not enough to bother me in my usage (light gaming, personal use, office use).
