    Thanks Aaron, with that, I got enough up to date results to start making charts. I'll still ask in the gaming forums for results on various gaming GPUs just for the sake fo comparison, but so far, it looks like AMD dominates the OpenCL performance while the quadros perform better in most CAD applications. It's just too bad that there isn't a benchmark specifically for Adobe CS.

    The GTX range also suffer on opencl, if you check the opencl benchmark domain AMD are miles ahead.

    Oh, I know it does, I mean the Quadro Kx000m series shares the same architecture as the Kepler gaming gaming cards for the most part. I'm just curious as to how drastic the differences are between the GTX and Quadro cards. To put things in perspective, my M6000 scored 369 in the complex luxmark run.

    Received my dock today. A used PR02X E-Port Plus that I got on eBay for about $30.

    There was some minor damage to the dock connector when I received it but I was able to "bend" it back into shape.

    Didn't come with a power adapter, I'm using one of the spares I already had.

    Using it with three external displays (DVI+DVI+VGA) and some USB stuff connected without any issues. I don't have any displays higher than 1080p to test with but I suspect it might not work with given previous comments in this thread. Also USB 3.0 is not available (as expected).

    The USB3.0 ports on the right side of the notebook should work perfectly fine should you need them though.

    The quadro will spank the GeForce in spec view benchmarks. I'm going to estimate 3-4x better.

    Yeah, it does, I mean my M6000 is on par or better than the GTX680m in specview already according to the 680m results from notebookcheck.

    Hi,

    I just got my M6700 with IPSRGB panel and trying to figure how to calibrate my display. The 'factory' colors look pretty good but when I create an icc profile with my i1Display LT the colors look terrible. I'm also unsure of the role of PremierColor (other than switching between color spaces) and its relationship with windows icc profiles.
