Your video can never be too fast.]]>Mar 5th 2007 5:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/05/nvidia-rolls-out-monster-quadrofx-graphics-cards/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/05/nvidia-rolls-out-monster-quadrofx-graphics-cards/Mar 5th 2007 5:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/05/nvidia-rolls-out-monster-quadrofx-graphics-cards/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/05/nvidia-rolls-out-monster-quadrofx-graphics-cards/

someone back me up on how Quadro FX cards r differ from cards used for gaming plz?]]>Mar 5th 2007 5:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/05/nvidia-rolls-out-monster-quadrofx-graphics-cards/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/05/nvidia-rolls-out-monster-quadrofx-graphics-cards/
I learned that the hard way, when I put a Quadro FX3450 ($1300) in my machine (dual core, 2 GB Ram) and tried to play Call of Duty 2. It sucked really bad.

I then put in a Geforce 7800GT ($300) and every games runs like a champ now.

im gonna be using my computer for gaming n future graphic work in game animation, like in 3D Studio Max if i learn it pretty good.]]>Mar 5th 2007 5:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/05/nvidia-rolls-out-monster-quadrofx-graphics-cards/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/05/nvidia-rolls-out-monster-quadrofx-graphics-cards/Mar 5th 2007 5:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/05/nvidia-rolls-out-monster-quadrofx-graphics-cards/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/05/nvidia-rolls-out-monster-quadrofx-graphics-cards/
thx!]]>Mar 5th 2007 5:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/05/nvidia-rolls-out-monster-quadrofx-graphics-cards/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/05/nvidia-rolls-out-monster-quadrofx-graphics-cards/
These are the monsters developers use to actually MAKE the games we play on Radeons and Geforce FX's, among others, they're extremely impressive for that task, and it's one market that nVidia manages to dominate in to this very day.

Again, not meant for gaming, however for developing, namely highly graphical tasks like the aforementioned 3D Studio Max, and even old Maya, it's highly suited.]]>Mar 5th 2007 5:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/05/nvidia-rolls-out-monster-quadrofx-graphics-cards/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/05/nvidia-rolls-out-monster-quadrofx-graphics-cards/Mar 5th 2007 5:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/05/nvidia-rolls-out-monster-quadrofx-graphics-cards/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/05/nvidia-rolls-out-monster-quadrofx-graphics-cards/That software is designed to work with any video card. If you get a quadro, all the better, but it really isnt necessary. Your x2900xtx will be more than sufficient.]]>Mar 5th 2007 5:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/05/nvidia-rolls-out-monster-quadrofx-graphics-cards/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/05/nvidia-rolls-out-monster-quadrofx-graphics-cards/Mar 5th 2007 5:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/05/nvidia-rolls-out-monster-quadrofx-graphics-cards/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/05/nvidia-rolls-out-monster-quadrofx-graphics-cards/Mar 5th 2007 10:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/05/nvidia-rolls-out-monster-quadrofx-graphics-cards/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/05/nvidia-rolls-out-monster-quadrofx-graphics-cards/Mar 5th 2007 5:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/05/nvidia-rolls-out-monster-quadrofx-graphics-cards/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/05/nvidia-rolls-out-monster-quadrofx-graphics-cards/The games I play aren't very taxing overall,
But Need For Speed Carbon looks great on full detail, and I'm not sure the on board fan has ever needed to run
so overall, I'd say its powerful.]]>Mar 5th 2007 6:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/05/nvidia-rolls-out-monster-quadrofx-graphics-cards/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/05/nvidia-rolls-out-monster-quadrofx-graphics-cards/
you've gotta admit

nVidia knows how to build a sexy looking card.]]>Mar 5th 2007 7:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/05/nvidia-rolls-out-monster-quadrofx-graphics-cards/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/05/nvidia-rolls-out-monster-quadrofx-graphics-cards/Mar 5th 2007 8:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/05/nvidia-rolls-out-monster-quadrofx-graphics-cards/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/05/nvidia-rolls-out-monster-quadrofx-graphics-cards/Mar 5th 2007 10:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/05/nvidia-rolls-out-monster-quadrofx-graphics-cards/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/05/nvidia-rolls-out-monster-quadrofx-graphics-cards/Mar 5th 2007 9:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/05/nvidia-rolls-out-monster-quadrofx-graphics-cards/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/05/nvidia-rolls-out-monster-quadrofx-graphics-cards/
IIRC the truth was that the cards were almost identical except for driver tweaks and you could actually fool a geforce gaming card to think it was a quadro, and get the same performance in 3D Apps (notably a unified back buffer)

The only difference I remember is that the gaming cards couldn't give you HW accelerated wireframe views

I doubt the architecture is that much different. It would be good to know from someone more knowledgeable about it tho]]>Mar 6th 2007 3:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/05/nvidia-rolls-out-monster-quadrofx-graphics-cards/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/05/nvidia-rolls-out-monster-quadrofx-graphics-cards/I *think* they were 4400's or something?

But yeah, funny thing was that in the next set of PCs we got the next year, the 6600gt's in those seemed to run just as well as the Quadros!

But yeah, it's been said many-a-time here...these are NOT gaming cards.]]>Mar 6th 2007 5:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/05/nvidia-rolls-out-monster-quadrofx-graphics-cards/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/05/nvidia-rolls-out-monster-quadrofx-graphics-cards/
Using a Quadro for gaming is pointless unless you want to run multiple 3D games at one time.]]>Mar 6th 2007 9:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/05/nvidia-rolls-out-monster-quadrofx-graphics-cards/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/05/nvidia-rolls-out-monster-quadrofx-graphics-cards/I have a 4500, and WOW across two monitors is hard to start using, but 1680*2X1050 is pretty amazing.
have the char dead center of the split line is--- weird

I'd finally be able to stuff like my bump-maps and shadow-maps in real time! JOY!!
I have a 64MB Quadro Pro 2 card that while great with wireframes, it kinda chugs with particles and shadows. I also get a message that it doesn't support hardware rendering (Maya)]]>Sep 7th 2007 10:57PM
