I thought quadro sacrifices speed to get accuracy, which matters for modelling/rendering but not ML (and games)

Isn’t this just Single vs. Double vs. Quad-precision in IEEE-754 numbers - or is it something else?

Do they round-off 32-bit floats at 24-bits or something?

Matters for CAD but rendering these days most are just piling machines full of gaming GPUs and rendering on CUDA.
