The pulsating clash in the Welsh capital may have put the Rangers' promotion party on hold after they failed to record the victory which could have sent them into the Barclays Premier League.
But, pending the outcome of their FA disciplinary hearing into the transfer of Alejandro Faurlin, they can finally seal their return to the top flight after a 15-year absence with victory over Hull at Loftus Road on Easter Monday.
Warnock said: "I just thought it was a great advert for Championship football with two great sides giving everything.
"We defended like fairies in the first half but the first two goals could have come straight out of the Premier League.
"We played on the front foot in the second half and Adel Taarabt scored a deserved equaliser. We had no stars and to come back twice against Cardiff at a full house was outstanding."
